The world media have started to convey rumours that claim J.K. Rowling copied the idea for her novels.

Ten years ago the American writer Nancy Stouffer claimed that the idea of the characters Larry Potter, and his best friend Lilly, were stolen from his book “The Legend of Rah and the Muggles”. However, the allegations hit a wall.

The director of the film “Troll”, John Buechler, considers that the writer used a script from the film for her book, and mentioned that his film is based on the experiences of a young wizard.

Buechler wants to prove to Warner Bros that his film started the saga of Potter, which is why he will make a remake of the 1986 film. Peter Davy, the production partner of Buechler, decided to handle the problem by recording two more sequels, which were shown earlier, and he will do this with a budget of 20 million dollars.

The description on IMDB clearly says that Troll’s plot is very similar to the one from Potter. This is not all – Noah Hathaway played a character that was called, guess, Harry Potter Jr.

Even though during the press conference presenting the remake of this film there was no mention of Potter’s name, many asked why Buechler did not make the accusations earlier.
