  1. Where's Frodo? If Harry made the list then Frodo should too

  2. Tallis Keeton true but Harry was only ever a hero to the wizarding world, frodo went from only being known in the shire to being a hero for his entire world (Middle Earth). There's also the enemies they faced, Harry faced the death eaters who were basically magical nazi's who were only a threat to magical Britain while Frodo faced Sauron and Saruman (both of whom were basically lesser gods) and their armies which threatened all of Middle Earth. You can't even compare the dangers they faced

  3. MsInsomniac1 its more how she went from being a nobody to the girl on fire and later to leader of a revolution

  4. Tallis Keeton it is because Frodo had to continuously fight the ring's will AND evade Sauron's armies/minions. Harry did have to die to remove the Horcrux but he only experienced the pain of his scar when Voldemort was feeling a powerful emotion, frodo had to constantly resist the will of the ring lest he be corrupted by it. I'm not saying that what Harry had to endure wasn't tough, it was but it feel frodo had it tougher due to the greater consequences for if he failed

  5. Tallis Keeton and by dangers I meant enemies. Harry had Voldemort and the Deatheaters while Frodo faced Sauron, Saruman, the Ringwraiths, armies of orcs/uru-kai, and Gollum (to an extent)

  6. Preston Ze Dood Neville yes. Ron, not even close

  7. TheV I disagree, Sarah Conner and Elen Ripley went from being barely able to do anything in their first movies (Alien and The Terminator) to confronting the danger head on in Aliens and Judgment Day

  8. Ross Abadie she was an advisor, they only brought her because she had some experience with the Xenomorph. She may have been an officer but she was basically still a civilian

  9. Sean Lann true, frodo did dream of adventure but he was definitely caught by surprise when it came and probably didn't realize right away just how important his task was. There were even points where he wasn't even sure if he could continue towards the end of his journey. I probably would have put both on the list though, Bilbo is kind of like how Peter Parker was when Peter first started out as Spider-Man while Frodo is more like Dave from Kick-Ass except more competent
