Huh. A ghostly white owl just dropped this off in my inbox. Perhaps someone is displeased?

Anyway - I dunno about Frodo, because by the time I picked up the LotR books I'd read too many derivatives and they fell flat so I didn't finish them - but Luke is a hero not because he followed Kenobi off on 'some damn-fool idealistic crusade"after his aunt and uncle got killed, but because he decided to go rescue the Princess when all they really had to do was wait until the tractor beam was disabled and flee the Death Star, because he'd wanted to fight the Empire's tyranny all along and took the chance when it appeared, because he took the risk and followed the advice only he could here to pull the fat out of the fire at the last minute as the Death Star came in range of Yavin 5, because he still stuck with the Rebellion when the Imperial Fleet chased them to Hoth, because he went out on a limb again to follow a hallucination and put himself even more in the Emeror's crosshairs by getting trained as a Jedi, because he went into Jabba's Palace to rescue Han, because he went to face the Emperor on the second Death Star to keep him occupied until the attack came in... because even if there were people offering these courses to him, he was the one choosing to act, and how to act, and striving to succeed. Harry just coasts unless he has no other choice, and the only times he moved on his own were to scurry down the habitrails Dumbledore had assembled for him or at the prompting of his prosthetic brain, aka Hermione, when Ron didn't talk him into slacking instead.
