| Neville in the fourth movie |
We all love Neville Longbottom(played by Mathew Lewis). He's the most goofy of all the Harry Potter characters, but is he really more important than we think? As we watch Neville transform from a shy character to a hero, we wonder about him and his innermost thoughts. In the fifth book, it is revealed that Neville was almost the Chosen One, almost the one who would save the wizarding world, almost Harry, or in his position, anyway. Though, Neville's survival would be dependent upon whether or not Neville's parents, who were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange, or other family would sacrifice their life to protect their son. Neville seems to be under appreciated if you ask me: he is the person who knocked Voldemort's last leg out from under him. He, a true Griffindor, pulled the Sword of Griffindor out of the sorting hat and killed Nagini in order to follow out Harry's "final wish". This brings me to my next question, is Neville the real hero? Some may argue that Harry is the one who actually finished old Voldy off once and for all (book seven page 743) and who got rid of the horcruxes, while others may argue that it was a team effort to destroy the horcruxes and that anyone could've killed Voldemort with a simple Avada Kadavra spell, that Neville killed the most important, final horcrux. Or perhaps everyone who participated in the destruction of Voldemort's empire is a hero? I feel as though J.K. Rowling made Neville a smaller character on purpose so that we would not pay so much attention to him, or maybe so that we would be sure to look into him more deeply, or maybe I'm looking way far into it and he is the way he is just because that is how it happened when Rowling was writing the book. Side note: do you think Ron and Hermione are subconsciously attracted to fame and therefore would have been Neville's close friend had he been the Chosen One? Another two things I wondered about was if Neville ever found love. I always thought him and Luna Lovegood seemed like a good couple. I also wonder who hired Neville to be a teacher in Hogwarts, and in turn, who is the new headmaster? I will probably write about Neville again because I find him very interesting, and I feel as though we have only scratched the surface with the topic of Neville.
Please comment and tell me what you think about Neville and if you have any ideas about the questions I asked, then please do share!

i agree 100%... neville is completely under-appreciated. he has true brave qualities (1st book when he tries to stop the mischevious trio from breaking the rules) and everyone seems to forget it!!!!!! Neville is my true hero... also i don't believe that ron and hermione are just attracted to fame because it was fate that harry and ron met in the train in their first year and i kinda think if neville were in the train with ron, he would've been too shy to say anything so they wouldn't have become friends and hermione would intimidate neville too much for them to become friends. plus the only reason harry and hermione are really friends is because of the troll in the bathroom and i personally don't think neville would've gone in to save hermione
