Isnt it strange a 1986 movie called troll had lead characters by the name of Harry Potter SR and Harry Potter JR then 4 years later J.K Rowling's comes up with a hit book Harry Potter?

It's not strange. Rowling choose the name Harry Potter because Harry was her favourite boy's name. Her neighbours were the Potters and she liked the name. Neither are uncommon names in Britain and Harry is a human not a troll. Nothing is similar except for a name. And the first Harry Potter book was published in 1997 which is eleven years after 1986 not four.

Is there a real person named Harry Potter?

Harry Potter is not based on an actual person. JK Rowling has been quoted as saying: I had been writing almost continuously since the age of six but I had never been so excited about an idea before. I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who did not know he was a wizard became more and more real to me. The actor who brought Harry to life on the screen is Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe played Harry Potter in all of the movies.


Who are these strange people that come up to talk to Harry Potter on the street?

Just random wizards and witches that have heard of Harry Potter, but who don't know him personally - and of course, Harry Potter doesn't know them. The idea is that Harry Potter is famous, due to his defeat of Lord Voldemort when he was one year old - of which he remembers hardly anything, and (at first) has no idea how it might have happened.
