Who is the hero of The Shining by Stephen King?

Danny, the little boy with the shining. He'll stare as an adult in a sequel to the novel that comes out in 2013 titled "Dr. Sleep". Danny used his mental abilities to save his mother and Dick Hallorann. And The Shining is a real thing, though it's under another name; it's called applied faith and mental vision, the ability to see people for who they are and accept it for what it is, whether they're good or evil.
