If Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins Switched Roles ... Who Would Do Better?

I'm not sure about who would prevail, but in terms of houses, I see Frodo much like Harry. He has the Slytherin material, but he ultimately makes more Gryffindor-ish choices and he wants to belong to that house.

I think Frodo Baggins and Harry don't need to change positions. Harry won't change his position when he knew that being in LOTR will means no name on cover :D

Frodo would love to but I think that will be copyright breaches :P

Well, I don't really know. Both in the books and the movies, Frodo Baggins is shown as failing in the charge given to him. He doesn't destroy the Ring, he nearly dooms the Middle Earth. In fact, most scenes with Frodo, especially later in the books and movies, show him struggling with the temptation the Ring poses. Harry, on the other hand, is shown, at his worst, to be filled with righteous anger, which is why his Cruciatus curse is effectiveless.

So, again, I don't really know...

I'm not sure...at least Harry would have some experience with wizards and the likes, and so would Frodo, but Frodo has had a lot of failure. So maybe Harry, but I can't be certain.

I think that it would be hard for both of them cuz Frodo doesn't know any magic and Harry would be useless without his wand.

Like micaela says, Frodo isn't a wizard, so wouldn't be offered a place in Hogwarts to begin with, and would just be zapped to death by voldemort. Harry is human, and as such, he would fall prey to the temptation of the ring very fast, the reason frodo managed so long is due tot he intense mental resilience of hobbits. Harry would have been consumed by the ring simply because he's the wrong species.

The question therefore, is actually pointless.
