Lord of the Rings is a good example. The Hobbits are just normal people, but still have an element of fantasy. They don't have magical powers or a great secret destiny, they are just regular people at the center of extraordinary events.

Even after that, I'd argue that Frodo is only made interested through his posession of the one ring, not anything about himself. Sam is probably the only really interesting 'normal guy' in the story, and its only because he gets to tag along with the godly guys.
