The hobbits' bravery and fortitude does not defeat the avatar of evil, it fails at the last minute and is rescued by blind luck/divine grace.

Sorry to be pedantic, but this misconception about Lord of the Rings seems to have been directly responsible for a lot of the most dumbed-down school of pseudomedieval genre fantasy.
