He knows a hell of a lot about plants.
He's proud to be Frank and Alice Longbottom's son.

Neville Longbottom Quotes:
PS/SS:
"Gran, I've lost my toad again."
"Oh, Neville," he heard the old woman sigh.
~~~
"You can't go out," said Neville, "you'll be caught again. Gryffindor will be in even more trouble."
"You don't understand," said Harry, "this is important."
But Neville was clearly steeling himself to do something desperate.
"I won't let you do it," he said, hurrying to stand in front of the portrait hole. "I'll – I'll fight you!"

PoA:
"She [Trelawney] says the crystal ball's told her that, if I tell you, I'll have a horrible accident!" squeaked Neville…

GoF:
After Moody's class on the Unforgivables: "Neville?" Hermione said gently.
Neville looked around.
"Oh, hello," he said, his voice much higher than usual. "Interesting lesson, wasn't it? I wonder what's for dinner, I'm – I'm starving, aren't you?"
"Neville, are you all right?" said Hermione.
"Oh, yes, I'm fine," Neville gabbled, in the same unnaturally high voice. "Very interesting dinner – I mean lesson – what's for eating?"
~~~
"As Harry took off his glasses and climbed into his four-poster, he imagined how it must feel to have parents still living but unable to recognize you. He often got sympathy from strangers for being an orphan, but as he listened to Neville's snores, he thought that Neville deserved it more than he did."

OotP:
"My gran says that's rubbish," piped up Neville. "She says it's the Daily Prophet that's going downhill, not Dumbledore. She's cancelled our subscription. We believe Harry," he said simply. He climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to his chin, looking owlishly over them at Seamus. "My gran's always said You-Know-Who would come back one day. She says if Dumbledore says he's back, he's back."
~~~
"And in our first year," said Neville to the group at large, "he saved that Philological Stone –"
"Philosopher's," hissed Hermione.
"Yes, that – from You-Know-Who," finished Neville.
~~~
"Expelliarmus!" said Neville, and Harry, caught unawares, felt his wand fly out of his hand.
"I DID IT!" said Neville gleefully. "I've never done it before – I DID IT!"
~~~
"Harry was pleased to see that all of them, even Zacharias Smith, had been spurred to work harder than ever by the news that ten more Death Eaters were now on the loose, but in nobody was this improvement more pronounced than in Neville. The news of his parents' attacker's escape had wrought a strange and even slightly alarming change in him."

HBP:
"They’re even staring at us," said Neville, indicating himself and Luna, "because we’re with you!"
"They’re staring at you because you were at the Ministry, too," said Harry ,as he hoisted his trunk into the luggage rack. "Our little adventure there was all over the Daily Prophet, you must’ve seen it."
"Yes, I thought Gran would be angry about all the publicity," said Neville, "but she was really pleased. Says I’m starting to live up to my dad at long last. She bought me a new wand, look!"
He pulled it out and showed it to Harry.
"Cherry and unicorn hair," he said proudly. "We think it was one of the last Ollivander ever sold, he vanished next day – oi, come back here Trevor!"
And he dived under the seat to retrieve his toad as it made one of its frequent bids for freedom.

DH:
"Just in case they're - busy - and you get the chance - "
"Kill the snake?"
"Kill the snake," Harry repeated.
"All right, Harry. You're okay, are you?"
"I'm fine. Thanks, Neville."
But Neville seized his wrist as Harry made to move on.
"We're all going to keep fighting, Harry. You know that?"
~~~
"But you are a pure-blood, aren't you, my brave boy?" Voldemort asked Neville, who stood facing him, his empty hands curled into fists.
"So what if I am?" said Neville loudly.
"You show spirit, and bravery, and you come of noble stock. You will make a very valuable Death Eater. We need your kind, Neville Longbottom."
"I'll join you when hell freezes over," said Neville. "Dumbledore's Army!" he shouted, and there was an answering cheer from the crowd, whom Voldemort's silencing charms seemed unable to hold.

The Prophecy
In the fifth book, Neville and other members of Dumbledore's Army fight numerous Death Eaters at the Ministry of Magic. Their intent is to keep Voldemort from hearing a prophecy about the fate of a chosen one. Unknown to Neville, the prophecy they were fighting over arguably involved him.

Because the prophecy was 'released' during the battle none of the Army or Order got to hear the prophecy, but Albus Dumbledore later reveals to Harry it's contents, as he was the one the prophecy was originally made to. In it, a wizard who would have the power to defeat Lord Voldemort is described as the 'Chosen One.' It goes on to say that this wizard will be born 'as the seventh month dies' and describes characteristics that could point to either Harry or Neville.

Dumbledore himself believes that either boy could have been the wizard in the prophecy but the fact that Voldemort chose Harry (presumably because, like himself, Harry is a halfblood) meant that he became the 'Chosen One' and was also marked as Voldemort's equal. Had he chosen Neville, the fate of the wizarding world could have gone an entirely different way.

A new interview with Matt is online.

CastleWhitefang.com PRESENTS the Matthew Lewis LIVE Interview - 01.02.2009

Quote:

What scene are you most looking forward to filming for Deathly Hallows?

Deathly Hallows is going to be so much fun to shoot. I don't have a script yet so I can't be exactly sure how everything is going to work out. However, I think my answer will be a bit predictable! The scene I'm looking forward to the most is when Neville swings the sword and kills Nagini. That is going to be intense! In fact, the whole final battle sequence is going to be amazing. Still can't believe they're going to trust me with a sword though!

DUDE! That's the one scene that everyone is looking forward to!

KJJ1588 · 02-01-2009, 03:38 PM

Haha, he is happy with the fact he gets to be apart of somthing all fans are looking forward to in DH part II.

Or part I if they doing it Pulp Ficiton style

**Ellipsis** · 02-01-2009, 03:51 PM

Hell yes!

! I'm glad he's happy with that. Neville going all bad ass

KJJ1588 · 02-01-2009, 03:53 PM

He becomes the ultimate bad ass in DH. I hope he gets the battle wounds to prove it.

**Ellipsis** · 02-01-2009, 04:03 PM

Yes..

. Scars and all that, that would be awesome..

.

None of my friends believe me when I say that Neville went all bad ass, when they'll see and be amazed!

wyndrider · 02-01-2009, 04:04 PM

He couldn't believe they're going to trust Neville with a sword.

I think he would definitely have a battle wound from the war.

Watching Neville in DH part II would be very emotional. He has grown up so much, from a scared looking boy who thought so little about himself, Neville now is a hero.
