Did J.K. Rowling steal the name "Harry Potter" from the movie "Troll" (1986)?

That's likely just a coincidence. More likely, when she was stealing the plot and concepts from a character named Larry Potter, she just changed the first name a little bit. Nearly everything else she's done has arguably been stolen, though.
