DISCLAIMER: All Harry Potter allusions belong to Ms. JK Rowling and all LOTR allusions belong to Mr. JRR Tolkien who celebrated his eleventy-first birthday not too long ago, or so I have been told.

About the fic: I love crossing HP and LOTR. This deals with what if the plots were switched? What if Frodo was the hobbit who lived? What if Harry Potter, along with Ron and Hermione had to destroy the ring of power?

This page it just the character parallels. If you don't want to read this and get on with the story, go on to chapter 2. AS you can probably guess, some relations ships may differ.

Sorry if I get names wrong...

If you can help me fill in the rest of this chart, it would make it much easier for me to write this. Any ideas would be great too. The chapters will go: HP, LOTR, HP, LOTR, ect. progression with each story at the same time. Chapter one of HP up soon.

*civateteo gave me these ideas, though something about Dean Thomas seems more Legolas-like than Seamus to me...I'm just weird. THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE MY HERO!! and bloody brilliant...why couldn't I think of those?? gah. If there's anything you ever need, tell me. I will help w/ anything. I am eternally grateful. Actually thinking about it...Hagrid seems more like Gimli with that they're burly and kinda look similar. Well, I don't think any HP characters are very elf like...I suppose a veela is...I kinda wanna put Krum in it, but I don't know where....
