Ronald Weasley: "Told them I was Stan Shunpike. First person I could think of."
Harry Potter: "And they believed that?"
Ronald Weasley: "They weren't the brightest. One of them was definitely part troll, the smell of him…"
Ronald Weasley tells Harry Potter and Hermione Granger about his encounter with Snatchers in 1997.[src]

Part-trolls were, apparently, beings with some, but not a total, amount of troll heritage or blood, as well as part human blood.[1][2]

Part-trolls were also, apparently, aggressive individuals[1] with a troll's characteristic foul smell.[2] They were also noted for their strength.[3]

"Harry thought Flint looked as if he had some troll blood in him."
— Harry's views on Marcus Flint's appearance[src]

During his first ever Quidditch match at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter thought that Marcus Flint may have been of troll descent, most likely an insult towards Flint's unpleasant appearance and demeanour.[1]
