Taking advantage of the moment Neville crawled from under the desk, but Dolohov broke Neville's nose and wand, so Harry placed Dolohov under Full Body-Bind. Neville refused Harry's suggestion that he leave with an incapacitated Hermione to go get help, instead carrying her while he and Harry searched for Ron, Ginny, and Luna. When several Death Eaters cornered Harry alone in the Death Chamber , Neville stormed into the room to aid him, armed with Hermione's wand, but due to his broken nose, was unable to pronounce spells correctly.
When another Death Eater seized Neville, Bellatrix Lestrange briefly tortured Neville with the Cruciatus Curse , both to try to make Harry hand over the prophecy and to see how long Neville held out before "cracking" like his parents.
Even under the threat of being tortured possibly even going insane like his parents , Neville told Harry not to hand the prophecy over. Harry urged Neville to run, but Neville refused, instead breaking Macnair's grip on Harry by jabbing the Death Eater in the eye with Hermione's wand.
Harry throw Neville the prophecy to cast Impediment Jinx on Malfoy. As Harry pulled Neville up a flight of stairs, Neville accidentally smashed the prophecy. As the battle continued, Neville alerted Harry to the appearance of Albus Dumbledore. The battle soon ended, and Neville and his friends were transported back to Hogwarts, where Neville's nose was fixed by Poppy Pomfrey.
Harry soon learned the contents of the prophecy from Dumbledore. As both Neville and Harry were born at the close of July to parents who had all escaped Voldemort three times, they both qualified for the prophecy child.
However, Dumbledore believed that the prophecy did indeed refer to Harry, not Neville, as Voldemort marked Harry as his equal by attacking him. Neville's grandmother purchased him a new wand, 13" cherry wood, with a unicorn hair core, from Garrick Ollivander before his sixth year. When Romilda Vane , a younger Gryffindor student, invited Harry to come to her compartment and implicitly insulted Neville and Luna, Harry coldly rebuffed her, emphasising that Neville and Luna were among his closest and most loyal friends.
Neville was later invited to join Horace Slughorn , the new Potions Master , in his train compartment. Slughorn was searching for new students to add to his Slug Club , but Neville didn't seem to meet Slughorn's requirements. Neville also achieved four known O. Professor McGonagall informed him that the 'Acceptable' grade he achieved in Transfiguration was not good enough for N.
He told her he only applied for Transfiguration for his grandmother's desires, but McGonagall stated it was time for Augusta to be proud of the grandson she had, as opposed to the one she desired. She let him down gently on his application on Transfiguration, and instead encouraged him to take Charms. Towards the end of the school year, Neville participated in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Along with Luna Lovegood, he was the only member of Dumbledore's Army to reply to the summons via the coins.
Neville suffered an injury that kept him in the hospital wing for some time, though he was able to attend the funeral of Albus Dumbledore shortly afterwards, where Luna helped him into his seat. The D. Neville got in trouble with the Carrows for refusing to practise the Cruciatus Curse on other students as a method of punishment, as well as for standing up against their bigotry and cruelty. The revived D. Neville, Luna and Ginny also attempted to steal Godric Gryffindor's sword from Snape's office, but were caught on the way out.
In his own way to subvert the Carrows' manner of discipline, Snape only gave them a detention, sending them into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid. Neville eventually decided to cease their open rebellion after Michael Corner was caught and brutally tortured for freeing a chained-up first year. Neville was eventually left alone to lead the rebellion efforts, as Luna was dragged off the Hogwarts Express by Death Eaters around Christmas of to coerce her father into ceasing his political dissidence in The Quibbler , and Ginny did not return to Hogwarts following the Easter holidays, as her family went into hiding following Harry, Ron, and Hermione's escape from Malfoy Manor.
By this time, the Carrows were aware of Neville's role in the rebellion, and he suffered beatings and torture. The Ministry also targeted Neville's grandmother to try to intimidate him, but she evaded capture and went on the run.
Eventually, the Carrows realised that Neville was the main ringleader and decided that Hogwarts could do without him. Fearing that they may kill him, Neville made for the Room of Requirement , which he was able to turn into a hiding place for the D.
By May, most of the D. The trio and Neville in the Hog's Head Inn. While in the tunnel he explained to the trio the nature of his injuries and the reign of the Carrows at Hogwarts. He also informed the trio that the D. Believing that their return meant the overthrow of the Death Eater professors, Neville signalled the rest of the D.
During the first round of battle, Neville used various plants to attack Death Eaters, and helped transport the injured and dead when a temporary cease-fire was called. He briefly spoke to Harry, who told him that it was top priority to kill Voldemort 's snake and Horcrux , Nagini. He was subsequently forced to wear the Sorting Hat as it burned because he refused to join Voldemort.
Neville slaying Nagini with the Sword of Gryffindor. Because of his tremendous bravery shown on the battlefield, Neville was able to pull Godric Gryffindor's sword from the burning hat, in the process proving himself a true Gryffindor , something that was doubted constantly throughout due to his apparently weak-willed, shy, and bumbling nature. In a single stroke, he carried out Harry's final order, slaying Nagini, destroying Voldemort's last remaining Horcrux.
Scabior fell to his death when the bridge fell down. Neville briefly worked as an Auror , immediately following the war. Sometime before , he married his former classmate and D. The pair lived at the Leaky Cauldron , where she became the landlady. Over the years, he remained in contact with his old friends, as in , Ginny told her and Harry's eldest son " to give Neville their love " when he arrived at Hogwarts.
In the late s and early s , Neville aided members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force who pursued a profession as a Professor by showing them a mental trick to make casting the Deterioration Hex seem as a second nature to profoundly increase its effects, while he also instructed the Magizoologists how to use the Bravery Charm to devastating effect.
Neville in his sixth year , age Neville was said to strongly resemble his mother. He was round-faced, [12] short, chubby, and had blond hair.
Pansy Parkinson had once called him " fat ", but this may have been an exaggeration, as she frequently made disparaging comments about Gryffindor students. When he was younger, Neville was clumsy, forgetful, shy, and many considered him ill-suited for Gryffindor house because he seemed timid. However, Neville proved that the Sorting Hat had seen the bravery beneath his insecurity, as he stood up to his only friends as a first-year [12] and later became one of the D.
Though he came from a pure-blood family, he held no prejudice against half-bloods or Muggle-borns. Neville appeared to suffer from a degree of post-traumatic stress disorder, as the torture of a spider via the cruciatus curse by Barty Crouch Junior in disguise as Alastor Moody was enough to cause him a severe anxiety attack.
This was likely due to his own experience with his parents being subjected to the curse's worst possible outcome: the onset of permanent and complete insanity. This familiarity of what the Cruciatus Curse could do in skilled enough hands was more than enough to terrify him. Throughout the trials he faced over his seven years at Hogwarts , Neville blossomed from a timid, self-deprecating, and generally nervous student into a stalwart soldier possessed of an ironclad will, courage of outstanding merit, and a nobility of spirit, despite still having a comical and shy but at the same time courageous and fierce personality.
In many ways, Neville's transformation allowed him to change from a scaredy-cat into a lordly lion, becoming a ferocious defender of his fellow students during Voldemort's reign. Suffice it to say, Neville's appointment to Gryffindor House was well-deserved. Neville was not an academically strong student in his early years, often requiring Hermione 's help in class and with school-work. However as confirmed by McGonagall , part of this was likely caused by his use of another's wand, poor self-esteem, and anxiety caused by the incessant bullying from many of his peers and Snape.
When he found both courage and self-confidence in his later years, Neville's magical skills as a wizard grew and he proved to be a powerful wizard in his own right. Neville mastering the Boggart-Banishing Spell. As Neville's parents, Alice and Frank Longbottom, had been permanent residents of St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries since Neville's infancy, he never knew them as the popular and talented Aurors they were reputed to be.
Nevertheless, he held them in high esteem, much like his friend Harry looked up to the parents he never knew. Neville regularly visited his parents at St Mungo's with his grandmother, where he tried to speak to them and brought them sweets, keeping the wrappers his mother handed back to him, even when his grandmother told him to throw them in the bin.
When the Lestranges escaped from Azkaban in , Neville did not discuss it, but he became very dedicated to his training in Dumbledore's Army. During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , he was taunted about his parents by Bellatrix Lestrange , who also briefly subjected him to the Cruciatus Curse, but Neville remained defiant.
Augusta Longbottom , his paternal grandmother. Neville was raised by his grandmother, Augusta Longbottom, after his parents were tortured to the point of insanity when he was an infant. This was pivotal in the development of his personality, as his grandmother often expressed her disappointment with her grandson's seeming lack of magical ability, and what she considered his inability to live up to his parents' skills.
By Minerva McGonagall's claim, however, Augusta should be proud of the grandson she has, as opposed to the one she wants. When Neville was a child, his grandmother, as well as some of his other relatives , feared that he might have been a Squib. She came to Hogwarts during the final battle and ran off to assist him in fighting Death Eaters.
Neville appeared to be fairly close to his great-uncle Algie , who tried to "scare" magic into him when he was younger; he once accidentally dropped Neville out of a window while reaching for a meringue, and when Neville bounced, his family was pleased to discover that he was not, in fact, a Squib.
Algie later rewarded him with his pet toad Trevor for getting into Hogwarts. Algie and Neville appear to have shared an interest in Herbology , as Algie gave Neville his very rare Mimbulus mimbletonia plant, which at one point was the password to the Gryffindor Common Room. However, as Algie was willing to risk Neville's life to reveal his magic, such as pushing him into a lake and dangling him from a window, Algie more then likely cares for Neville's magic more than the boy himself.
Hannah Abbott , his future wife. Neville and Hannah Abbott were never shown as being more than classmates during school. Since Hannah was in Hufflepuff House and Neville in Gryffindor , they probably did not spend too much time together, though it is possible that they became friends when they were both members of Dumbledore's Army.
Sometime after leaving Hogwarts, Neville and Hannah married and moved into the Leaky Cauldron , where she worked as the landlady and Neville as the Hogwarts Herbology teacher. It is also possible that she and Neville became close during Herbology lessons, as those were shared by Gryffindor and Hufflepuff of their year. It stands to reason that, since Herbology was where Neville excelled, he may have been confident and even charming amongst the plant life, thus attracting Hannah's attention.
Since Hannah lost her mother in her sixth year, it may also have been Neville's ability to sympathise with her grief that brought the two together, or simply Hannah felt attracted to Neville's heroism in the Battle of Hogwarts and when the war was over she kept contact with him, they fell in love and got married.
Hannah is eventually retrained as a Healer and applies to become the new matron of Hogwarts, a job held by Poppy Pomfrey during their years as students. It is possible that she applied in order to be closer to Neville.
However, in the year , Madame Pomfrey is seen to still be the matron, as she resets Albus Potter 's broken arm.
Trevor , his pet toad. Trevor was Neville's pet toad. In Neville's third year, Professor Snape made him test his Shrinking Solution on the toad; though Neville's dubious potion-making skills could have resulted in the toad's death, Trevor was successfully transformed into a tadpole, much to the Gryffindors ' delight. At some point, Trevor escaped into the Hogwarts Lake.
Both pet and owner felt a sense of relief. Harry Potter , his good friend and room-mate. They became classmates and room-mates after they were both sorted into the Gryffindor house, and came to be good friends over the years. Harry felt that Neville was far more deserving of pity than he, though he promised Dumbledore not to tell anyone what he knew, as it was Neville's decision whether or not to reveal his past to his friends.
In their fifth year, Neville became a member of Dumbledore's Army , an organisation led by Harry to oppose Dolores Umbridge and learn practical defensive magic. After the Lestranges escaped from Azkaban that same year, Neville resolved to become stronger and try to honour his parents' reputations as excellent Aurors.
When Harry was crying over the death of Sirius Black , Neville did not question nor protest Harry's friendship with an alleged criminal and mass murder, instead consoling him for his godfather's demise.
In , Harry refused to allow Romilda Vane to insult Neville and Luna Lovegood , stating that they were his real friends, and the only ones who had fought alongside Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and himself at the Department of Mysteries. At the end of the year, Neville and Harry both fought in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and attended Dumbledore's funeral.
Neville would later state that the hope Harry inspired in standing up to his enemies drove Neville to do the same. Neville and Harry fought together in the Battle of Hogwarts , where Harry realised that Neville was one of his closest friends and one of the few people he would like to see once again before he dies in the forest and Neville showed his bravery and loyalty to Harry when he openly defied Voldemort and beheaded Nagini , destroying Voldemort's last remaining Horcrux.
Neville and Harry remained in contact after the end of the Second Wizarding War and Harry made Neville the godfather of his son Albus Severus , showing their good friendship. Harry's children were later taught by Neville, who had been appointed Herbology professor at Hogwarts.
Hermione Granger , his friend. During their years at Hogwarts , they became closer as Hermione encouraged him to stand up for himself when Draco Malfoy and his friends played pranks on him, or made jokes at his expense. Because of his lack of confidence in classes, Neville frequently made mistakes, and Hermione usually came to his assistance, often whispering instructions in his ear.
She also took note of how shaken Neville was by their fourth year lesson on the Unforgivable Curses , shouting for Professor Moody to stop demonstrating the Cruciatus Curse and later asking Neville if it was all right.
Because Hermione had " always been so nice ", Neville plucked up the courage to ask her to the Yule Ball in , though she had already accepted the offer of Viktor Krum. Neville and Hermione became members of Dumbledore's Army in , during their fifth year at Hogwarts, and fought together at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , as well as in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in When the trio returned to Hogwarts in just before the Battle of Hogwarts , it was Neville who greeted them enthusiastically, and who first expressed a willingness to help them in any way possible and to fight the incoming Death Eater army.
After the Second Wizarding War , the two best friends remained in contact throughout the years. Ron Weasley , his friend and room-mate. Neville met Ron Weasley on the Hogwarts Express at the start of their first year. As both were sorted into Gryffindor house, they became room-mates.
Over time, Neville became good friends with Ron, who, like Hermione and Harry, encouraged Neville not to let the Slytherins get to him. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all learned about Neville's parents during their fifth year at Hogwarts, and were shocked to learn that the good-natured, clumsy boy was carrying such a dark secret.
Ron and Neville both became members of Dumbledore's Army in , in order to oppose Professor Umbridge and learn to fight the Death Eaters. Neville greeted Ron, Harry, and Hermione enthusiastically when they returned to Hogwarts in , and they all fought against Voldemort's forces in the Battle of Hogwarts.
During the battle, Neville and Ron defeated Fenrir Greyback together protecting each other, after the battle they remained as best friends and they regularly see each other. Ginny Weasley , a good friend and his Yule Ball date. After asking Hermione to the Yule Ball in his fourth year and being turned down because she had already agreed to attend with Viktor Krum , Neville asked Ginny Weasley. She agreed to go with him as a friend, being too young to attend otherwise.
The two continued to be friendly afterwards, and Ginny, like Harry, Hermione and Ron, encouraged Neville to be more confident. After the war, Ginny and Neville remained in contact, and they remained closest friends, with Ginny naming Neville godfather to her son Albus Severus and being on friendly terms with her other son, James Sirius. Luna Lovegood , a good friend.
Neville and Luna, a Ravenclaw student, first met on the Hogwarts Express , in Neville found Luna a bit " odd ", as she believed in the existence of strange, mythical creatures, had a tendency to read magazines upside down, and wore earrings that appeared to be made of radishes. Luna, like Harry and Neville, had the ability to see Thestrals , as they had all seen someone die. Our world has perhaps faced no greater threat than it does today.
