Hmmm... It probably depends on what you mean by "hero". [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
In terms of plot, Frodo was definitely the central, focal character.
In terms of theme, Aragorn is the focus.
Gandalf made significant contributions and certain things definitely would not have been possible without him. He sort of "holds the story together" and serves somewhat as a link to the past.
When speaking of heroic deeds, it was Merry and Eowyn who slew the Witch-King [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
But overall, the story was about the Ring itself.
