You may be wondering what do these two have in common and why I would I mention them together. Well the story in “Troll” centers around a family that moves into a new apartment that is being tormented by a troll in his evil plans to take over the human world and restore the fairy world. The surname of this family is Potter. The father’s name is Harry and the son (who is the main character) is Harry Potter Jr. Now the name similarity between Harry Potter Jr. and Harry Potter could be rather coincidental, but at some point in the movie, when Harry finds out that the old woman living in the apartment building is actual a magical princess, he asks her to teach him to be a wizard. Yes, Harry Potter asked a magical princess to teach him to be a wizard long before ever attending Hogwarts.

Now you know and now you can form your own conclusions as to whether or not she (and you know who “she” is) plagarized the Harry Potter character or not. While there are plenty of disimilarities, the name and the desire to become a wizard are almost to big to be a coincendence.
