Synopsis

Harry is a giant . . . big, loveable, but not very bright. His attempts to be helpful land him in big trouble, and soon he is asked to leave town. But that leaves no one to protect the town from the wicked wizard who lives on the hill. Can Harry save the day? Or will even be turned into stone toads?
