Smeagol Vs. Dobby? Meh!
DD Vs. G_Spank? Hmm…
Harry Vs. Frodo? Oh Yeah!
Harry all the way without the One Ring.
I say Harry, because he’s looking to be one of the most powerful wizards next to Dumdledore (once he gets his education complete). He’s defeated Voldemort numerous times.
Frodo, on the other hand, just has the ring.
Saying Frodo without the One Ring is like saying Harry without his wand.
Frodo would definately win. Hes got Sting and his Mithril armour to protect him. Harry got one Griffindor sword but no other protection.
Well, if Frodo was on his usual form, he would offer The Ring to Harry. All that hobshite does is try to give it away to everyone he meets. However, Harry being a sanctimonious little fart wouldn’t take it. Unless is was obnoxious Harry from book 5. Yeah, Harry would win.
Ah, but neither Harry nor Frodo is ever alone. Harry with the little rat pack vs. Frodo with the Company? Hah! Legolas would put arrows in all those little brats before one of them could raise a wand. Then Gimli would chop them to little pieces. They wouldn’t even need Gandalf.
Frodo didn’t have the company most of the time, but he did have Sam… Sam is indeed a force to be rekoned with.
This isn’t a logical matchup. Frodo never exhibited much more astounding than an iron determination (usually. at the end, he didn’t even want to get rid of the ring), an amazing constitution, and a healthy appetite. He’s not much of a warrior, he’s not any sort of a wizard. He’s an unlikely hero, thrust into greatness that he never wanted at all.
In a 1on1 fight, of course Harry would win, but that’s only because it’s an apples and oranges type of fight.
Now if it were Hagerd vs. Aragorn, or a Neville/Samwise wrestling match, it goes to LoTR every time.
Frodo would win. He’d have Sting to fight with, the mithril shirt to protect him, and he become invisible by putting on the One Ring.
Harry has a little wand that can be broken.
Re: Harry’s wand
Yes, but Harry has shown that he has performed magic without his wand. As Hagrid asked him, “Ever make something happen when you were angry or upset?” He sure has!
Blowing Aunt Marge up soon after making her tea cup shatter, having his hair grow back after haircuts, his sweater getting smaller and smaller until it doesn’t fit, leaping up on the school roof to get away from Dudley and the gang, talking to snakes. Sure, it isn’t much, but I wouldn’t want to mess with a pissed-off Harry Potter with a wand or without. Especially with his little attitude in Book Five.
Harry puts on his invisibility cloak. Frodo slips on the One Ring. Confusion ensues.
Frodo.
He’s an adult; he’s smarter, more experienced and wiser.
He had to try to save a whole world remember, and did it, with help, but without whining.
The pairing isnt right. Harry has magical powers, Frodo hasnt, only a ring that he cant control.
It would be like me trying to win a fight against a guy with a gun. Theres already a disadvantage.
Frodo falls on his ass and starts crying. Harry feels sorry for him and takes him to the hospital wing for a cup of tea.
I think the answer here is obvious: Frodo . . . if he’s prepared.
He isn’t an adult, he is by hobbit terms in his late teens.
Without whinging? Did we read the same book?
It’s been awhile since I dove too deep into lotr but I believe a Hobbit’s coming of age party is at age 30. I’m thinking Frodo is around…60?
My money’s on Frodo.
Hobbits are much tougher than they look, much tougher than they seem. They have a natural resistance to spells and poison. Throughout the series, Hobbits get the cr@p pounded out of them, & keep coming back for more.
Frodo humped a pack across Middle Earth, survived on short rations, & showed both toughness and determination. He has face combat, & lived, killing at least once with his own blade in close combat.
If the fight happens in the forest, the natural, non-magical aptitude to blend into the wilderness, plus his Elven cloak, gives Frodo first strike, even without the One Ring.
And Frodo retains all of a Hobbit’s aptitude for thrown or projectile weapons.
Plus, whatever special protective powers his Mithril armor gives him versus magic.
Harry has his magical training, and possesses a sword, but he’s still just a school kid.
I predict Potter’s gonna have a new scar, likely a lot more than one!
Frodo’s 33 at Bilbo’s party, then 50 at the start of his journey. 33 marks adulthood in hobbits.
He would kick Harry’s whiny teenage ass anyday.
Harry.
He could just levitate Frodo and slam him into a mountain repeatedly.
Harry Potter would be eaten alive in Middle-Earth!
