Meet the first Harry Potter

In 1986 the movie Troll came out starring Noah Hathoway. It's funny because there's a lot of folks wondering on the internet if this movie is the real motivation behind Rowling's books.

In the movie a young Harry Potter moves to San Fransisco with his Mom and Sister who is possessed by an evil wizard who was transformed into a troll.

The movie bears a few other similarities and since Rowling admits to coming up with the idea of the first book back in 1990 (probably when the movie was released over seas in the UK) it's not hard to make the connection between the two.

Is it true? I'm think the answer is "yes" but that's for you to decide!
