Perhaps we could add mountain troll to the Laramie Lexicon. The following definition comes courtesy of the Bestiary section of the Harry Potter Lexicon.

Mountain troll - The mountain troll is very stupid. It stands twelve feet tall, with grey skin, a lumpy body, and flat horny feet. It exudes a powerfully awful smell, "a mixture of old socks and the kind of public toilet no one seems to clean." Its nose is full of what looks like lumpy, gray glue: troll boogers. Their language consists of grunting and pointing.

Why yes, although Magic Mountain Trolls appear nowhere in the Laramie Saga, it would still be an excellent idea to add in an entry.  I find this part particularly relevant:
Quote

I think there's a clear and relevant connection here.

Oh, you might also want to include this about some 'Trolls':
Quote
they seemed considerably more intelligent and less smelly. They spent all their time pacing the corridor in front of the Fat Lady's portrait, giving dirty looks to everyone who happened by
Yes, a troll armed with a big club, ready to protect that which is precious.  Considerably more intelligent than those you cite first, and ready to dish out pain to evildoers.  An asset to Wizarding society.

Thanks Louise.
I've read but I didn't want to reply.

Actually, Scott the parallels between my romance with my husband and what has gone on with Ennis and Ellery are uncanny, including initiating a sexual relationship very early on (for us, it was on our first date), moving in together, getting engaged (after 5 months), then married (when we had known each other less than 11 months). Reading the delmarriage ceremony sent shivers down my spine since Tony and I had done the exact same thing, right down to the tears.

Some have criticized this story for being "too much, too fast" but I don't take issue with that at all, since I feel like I am reading my own story and I know it can happen this way. It did for me! The only difference: I'm not gay.

Putting on my moderator hat for a minute:

An asset to Wizarding society.

This quote was in response to some earlier messages/lexicon definition, etc...

This has been fun, but let's let the trolls go back to the Enchanted Forest outside of Hogwarts, shall we? Last time I looked, this was the Laramie Saga/BBM fandom, not Harry Potter.

Thanks.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled discussion.
