Introduction[]
Mortician: In the Fantasy Genre, there are tales of dragons, maidens, and wizards trying to stop some sort of dark evil from destroying their world.
Redshock: And to stop it the story always needs a young orphan with nothing but their Bravery, Sacrifice, and a little bit of magic like Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived
Mortician: And Frodo Baggins, The Ring Bearer from Lord of the Rings.
Harry Potter[]
Redshock: On Halloween night in Godric’s Hollow would be a night of tragedy as the lives of Lily and James Potter were taken by He Who Must Not Be Named
Mortician: Just call him Voldemort
Redshock: Shut Up!, don’t say his name. Anyway He Who Must Not Be Named was destroyed by an infant but not just any child, but Harry Potter.
Mortician: After Harry’s parents death he was taken in by his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley with their son Dudley but it wasn’t what you would call a “Happy Family”.
Redshock: You're telling me the Dursley’s were real pricks to Harry for his entire childhood, that is until a letter arrived along with a half giant named Hagrid.
Mortician: You see Lily and James weren’t normal people, they were Wizards who recently graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and their son was indeed a Wizard.
Redshock: Harry would leave his Muggle life with the Dursley’s in pursuit of the life of a Wizard alongside with his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Learning how to cast spells, make potions and learn the fun game of Quidditch.
Mortician: But Voldemort…
Redshock: Shush!
Mortician: Oh would you quit it! Anyway Voldemort wasn’t dead as every year he would come back and try and kill Harry but he failed every time as Harry was too much for Voldemort to handle. Why are people scared of this guy?. He can't even kill a teenager.
Redshock: So to stop eh Tom, let’s call him Tom. Harry needed to be up to date on the latest spells whenever Tom came after him.
Mortician: With his 11” Holly and Phoenix Tail Feather Wand Harry had quickly became an expert dueler learning many spells like Confundus to confuse enemies, Stupefy to stun. Lumos to create light which I don’t see how useful it is in a fight. Protego to summon a magical shield. Expecto Patronum to protect himself from Dementors, and Accio to summon objects. And many others.
Redshock: And don’t forget his iconic Expelliarmus which sounds cool to say but is used to disarm or knock a person off their feet
Mortician: Harry is also well versed in Curses like Reducto to destroy objects, Sectumsempra for knife like slashes, Oppugno to make objects attack, and don’t forget the Unforgivable Curses: Imperio, Crucio, and finally the most dangerous spell Avada Kedavra. Which Harry never really used except in high stressed situations.
Redshock: Harry also has his own mode of transportation with his Firebolt Broom which can go 0 to 150 mph in 10 seconds. He can also Apparate which is their own version of teleporting.
Mortician: Harry also carries his Invisibility Cloak which grants Harry the power of invisibility, making him completely undetected by anyone even when he’s up close.
Redshock: And is also skilled in Occlumency which Harry uses to block Mind Control & Mind Reading.
Mortician: And if Harry needs to get close and personal, he can whip out the Sword of Gryffindor for melee combat
Redshock: Harry may be somewhat human but he is durable, he’s survived being stabbed by a Basilisk tooth, walked away after being thrown through brick walls, and can survive the Crucio Curse which had been used to drive people insane.
Mortician: Harry is also physically strong as he can hit a bludger almost a hundred feet with a single swing when he was 11, can overpower powerful Dark Wizards like Voldemort himself and don’t you start with not saying his name.
Redshock: Fine, so after beating Voldy and graduating from Hogwarts…
Mortician: Actually he dropped out in his last year but still when you faced the most evil Wizard in a century I’m sure they let it slide.
Redshock: Hey! I thought I was the Potterhead! Anyway Harry would become an Auror, or a Dark Wizard Catcher in Muggle lingo but would soon be the Head of the Auror Office becoming their youngest leader at the age of 26.
Mortician: But Harry isn’t invincible, as most of his spells require his wand and cannot use hand magic so without Harry is left with a big disadvantage.
Redshock: And Harry always fights from a distance and doesn’t know any hand to hand combat and don’t forget his glasses were once removed Harry is blind as a bat, why can’t he just fix his eyes with magic!
Mortician: But Harry has proved time and time again that no matter who stands in his way if anyone causes harm to himself or his friends he will stop them no matter what.
Redshock: Because he’s goddamn Harry Potter!
Harry: “Have it your way. Expelliarmus!”
Frodo Baggins[]
Redshock: The Shire is arguably one of the coolest places to live in Middle Earth, there’s food, ales, and some dope ass Hobbit weed. And one of its residents living in Bag End is none other than Bilbo Baggins and his nephew Frodo Baggins.
Mortician: Turns out Bilbo had possessed the powerful magical One Ring that was previously owned by the Dark Lord Sauron.
Redshock: Once stolen from Gollum, Bilbo had kept the Ring a secret as he was too obsessed with the precious.
Mortician: What did you say?
Redshock: What nothing?! *hides the Ring in his shirt pocket*. Anyway after some words with his best friend Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo had left the Shire and the Ring to Frodo.
Mortician: But when Gandalf knew of the truth and consequences of the Ring, he Frodo and Frodo’s buddy Samwise Gamgee set off to find a way to get rid of the One Ring.
Redshock: And soon join a boy band with Frodo’s other Hobbit Friends Merry and Pippin, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Legolas, and Gandalf set out to help Frodo destroy the One Ring.
Mortician: Frodo is armed with his trusty blade Sting, made by the Elves of Gondolin where it was originally Bilbo’s that he used when helping Thorin Oakenshield and his Dwarven brothers in helping them get to the Misty Mountains.
Redshock: Sting is a reliable blade for a Hobbit, it is strong enough to cut through large arachnids like Shelob and the spiders of Mirkwood. And can glow blue when Orcs are nearby.
Mortician: To get out of a jam or to hide, Frodo can use the Ring to shroud himself to be completely invisible.
Redshock: Being a Hobbit, Frodo is small and quick usually preferring to fight quick and fast rather than use brute force. But if he does get hit he usually wears his Mithril Shirt also worn by Bilbo that is strong enough to tank a hit from a spear wielded by a Cave Troll and those guys are strong enough to break stone with their bare hands.
Mortician: And Frodo has a lot of Stamina and Endurance as he can carry the One Ring for almost a year without being corrupted, and can climb a very unforgiving mountain which Gollum thought was stairs.
Redshock: He was also given gifts from the Elves of Mirkwood to help him on his travels, like the Elven Cloak which can serve as excellent camouflage, and the Light of Ëarendil, a magic light which can light any darkness and could blind opponents.
Mortician: Frodo has become a symbol of goodness and a hero to the eyes of the people of Middle Earth for destroying the One Ring and stopping Sauron from ever returning.
Redshock: But Frodo has some problems, he doesn’t have any powers unlike his friend Gandalf he cannot use magic, and with Frodo’s size and stature he is really weak as Gollum a very malnourished and weakened Hobbit had overpowered and even out smart him.
Mortician: But Frodo proved that not all Hobbits are weak and useless as they seem and Frodo proved that this Hobbit doesn’t need to bow to anyone.
Frodo: “I Will Take The Ring Through Mordor, Though I Do Not Know The Way”.
Death Battle[]
Harry Potter was hiking in the Forbidden Forest after hearing sounds, he follows it closer and sees a small person eating food by a tree stump. Harry walks closer hearing a voice whispering in his ear, but it sounded like a foreign language.
Frodo was startled by Harry, he says “who are you”, Harry replies while ignoring the voice “I’m Harry, Harry Potter, what are you doing here, how did you get here”. Frodo clinched the One Ring hidden behind his shirt “I don’t know I got lost, I shall be on my way”. Harry stops him with his hand close to his wand in his pocket “wait, do you have something on you”. Frodo hesitates and says “no”. Harry, thinking Frodo had a Horcrux said “You have something dark and powerful, I can hear it, give it to me and I will destroy it”. Harry reached out with his other hand.
Frodo took a couple steps back with his other hand on the handle of Sting, “No I am the Ringbearer and only I shall carry this burden, I don’t need your help”. Harry said “I am not asking, now give it to me” Harry’s tone had changed from helpful to menacing. Harry pulled out his wand as Frodo pulled out Sting at the same time.
FIGHT![]
Harry was fast enough to pull out his wand and casted the Disarming spell knocking Sting out of Frodo’s hand, Frodo dived away from another spell to his sword and picked it up and ran away from Harry’s spell attacks. Frodo stops and hides behind a tree with Harry following behind who loses Frodo, Frodo being corrupted by the Ring puts the Ring on and turns invisible.
He sees Harry looking for him and sneaks close to him with Sting ready to strike, but Frodo steps on a branch which Harry notices and shoots out Sectumsempra hitting Frodo in the chest knocking him against a tree. He takes the ring off and notices the slashes had barely cut through his Mithril shirt, but Harry now seeing Frodo had fired an array of more spells with Frodo dodging out of the way.
Frodo runs towards Harry with Sting dodging his spells and swipes at him with Sting, knocking his wand out of his hand and begins to clash, cut, and stab towards Harry only getting cut a few times before he pulled out from the Sorting Hat the Sword of Godric Gryffindor stopping Sting from hitting Harry again. The two clash with their blades with Harry having the better reach advantage keeping Frodo away from getting cut but Frodo tried to get in close by tackling Harry and stabbing him with Sting, only Harry had Apparated away behind a nearby tree.
Harry had pulled out his Invisibility Cloak and carefully walked to regain his wand, once he did he hit Frodo with the Stunning Curse hitting Frodo in the back stunning him for a few seconds. Harry removes the Invisibility Cloak and fires another spell at Frodo but Frodo has used the Ring again and turned Invisible in front of Harry. Instead of hiding like before, Frodo had rushed towards Harry with Sting and managed to cut Harry’s wand arm but Harry had Apparated a few feet away and yelled “Accio Ring!”. And the One Ring flew from Frodo’s finger to Harry’s hand.
Harry looked at the One Ring and saw it changed to fit his ring finger, while admiring it Frodo was worried about what was next since he didn’t have the Ring. So he rushed at Harry while he was distracted and tackled Harry to the ground and began to strangle him with his hands. Harry struggling to breath with the bloodlusted Hobbit on top of him, Harry managed to reach for his wand and knocked Frodo off him, sending Frodo a few feet away from Harry.
Harry gets up before Frodo and stuns him again with the Full Body Binding spell, while frozen in place, Harry had grabbed his Sword and sliced Frodo’s neck from his head, decapitated the Hobbit and in a few seconds his body fell down after his head hit the ground. Harry picks up the One Ring and says “Curious little Ring, so interesting, so magical, so precious”. He hears a familiar voice of his friend Hermione “Harry, Harry Potter where are you”. “Hermione I’m here Ill be right their”. And puts the ring in his pants pocket, he sets Frodo’s body on fire to destroy the evidence and leaves.
KO!
Results[]
Redshock: This battle did not have such a magically ending for Tolkein fans
Mortician: While Frodo was Smarter and was a better Swordsman than Harry, Harry just had everything to stop Frodo.
Redshock: When it came to Invisibility objects, Frodo had to use the One Ring a limited amount of times before he could become corrupted allowing Harry to use his Cloak an unlimited amount of times with zero consequences.
Mortician: Harry was also very proficient in Magic, something Frodo doesn’t have as Frodo needed to get close to hurt Harry and lacked any range or versatility.
Redshock: With Harry’s Magic, Versatility, and Better Invisibility, Harry proved that he had the Magic in him to dering the Ringbearer
Mortician: The Winner is Harry Potter!
