Neville is described as a round-faced boy, a plump Gryffindor student in Harry's year. Throughout the first 4 books, the character is portrayed as rather bumbling and disorganised. He is highly gifted at Herbology.

In the books

First four books

Neville's birth date is July 30, 1980, one day before Harry Potter. His parents are Frank and Alice Longbottom, Aurors and prominent members of the Order of the Phoenix during the time of Lord Voldemort's original reign. According to the books, the Longbottoms are one of the last few old pure-blooded families. Neville is portrayed as socially awkward in the greater Hogwarts community, but he is extraordinarily gifted in Herbology. As the series has progressed, he has become close friends with Harry, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, and Luna Lovegood. The character's personality appears to undergo a transition after he joins Dumbledore's Army, in which he practices defensive curse-blocking with Harry's help in the special Defence Against the Dark Arts classes which Harry taught, a transition which is catalyzed by the escape of his parents' torturer, Bellatrix Lestrange.

As part of Neville's back story, Rowling reveals that both of his parents were tortured to the point of insanity by Death Eaters, notably Barty Crouch Jr, Bellatrix Lestrange, her husband Rodolphus, and Rodolphus' brother, Rabastan, with the Cruciatus Curse. They are now in a closed ward of St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Neville's paternal grandmother Augusta has raised him from a young age. This provides an explanation as to his reaction to the use of that curse on a spider in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The loss of his parents to madness has affected Neville greatly, and he has kept their condition a secret. Harry, however, is told of their fate by Albus Dumbledore, and, in The Order of the Phoenix, Ron and Ginny Weasley, and Hermione discover the truth accidentally in St Mungo's. In film canon, the audience (and Harry) are witness to Igor Karkaroff describing the torture of Neville's parents by Barty Crouch Jr. in Goblet of Fire, whilst in the film version of Order of the Phoenix, Neville tells Harry himself, referring only to Bellatrix Lestrange as the culprit; adding that while he is proud to be their son, he isn't yet ready for the whole world to know.

Early on, it is established that Neville is terrified of his grandmother, who is a strict disciplinarian and a perfectionist. She appears to want Neville to follow in his father's footsteps, regardless of his desires or suitability. When Neville tells Professor McGonagall that his grandmother feels Charms is the "soft option" over Transfiguration, McGonagall informs him that "It's high time your grandmother learned to be proud of the grandson she's got, rather than the one she thinks she ought to have." and that "Just because Augusta failed her Charms O.W.L. doesn't mean the subject is entirely worthless."[HP6] Apparently she is a very formidable woman as in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows an attempt is made to kidnap her to stop Neville's leadership of Dumbledore's Army (which he seems to have taken on in Harry's absence with help from Ginny and Luna) and Neville comments that they bit off more than they could chew with her. He said that the man they sent to kidnap her, Dawlish (a powerful Auror) was still in St. Mungo's while she was on the run. She apparently finally gained respect for him and sent a letter telling him she was proud of him and to keep up the good work. She later returned for the final battle and headed off to fight with him.

Matthew Lewis as Neville in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The character does discuss portions of his family life when he mentions his great-uncle, Algie (surname unknown), who seems to have participated in his upbringing to some extent. He gave Neville Trevor, a pet toad, on his acceptance to Hogwarts. Neville also describes a time when he was a child and Algie attempted to "scare the magic out" of Neville by throwing him off one of Blackpool's piers to see if he would float (or at least not be harmed), as well as dangling him out of a window — before accidentally dropping him (Neville's magic caused him to bounce into the street).

Neville's lack of self-confidence affects his abilities as a wizard-in-training; despite being pure-blooded, in his early years at Hogwarts Neville shows an ineptitude with magic and a lack of focus that often gets him into trouble. Neville also noted in Chamber of Secrets that he is almost a Squib. However, he also shows courage, strength and potential, earning ten house points and securing Gryffindor the House Cup at the end of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Squib may refer to: Squib, a small explosive Squib, a short article that is intended to ignite thinking and discourse Squib, a small sailboat Squib, a computer message board system Squib, a magically-impaired member of a wizarding family in Harry Potter Squib, an alien race in Star Wars This...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

During his fifth year at Hogwarts, Neville's magical abilities improve dramatically under Harry's special Defence Against the Dark Arts training in Dumbledore's Army. He also receives far greater characterization than he has in the past, with Harry, and thus the reader, coming to understand him on a deeper level, beginning when Harry's friends learn about the fate of Neville's parents at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Shortly afterwards, a number of Death Eaters escape Azkaban, including Bellatrix Lestrange, the witch who was mainly responsible for torturing his parents. Neville then devotes himself, with surprising fervor, to Harry's training regimen, and becomes second only to Hermione in terms of aptitude. To Neville, as with Harry, the fight against Voldemort is personal.

Neville saves Harry's life during the battle in the Department of Mysteries, and plays a key role, if inadvertently, in keeping Lord Voldemort from knowing the prophecy made about "Dark Lord and Harry Potter (?)."[HP5] He and Harry are also the only students left standing after the battle, despite a Death Eater breaking both Neville's nose and his father's wand. His usefulness is impaired by his nose being broken, which changes his voice and makes his spellcasting ineffective. In the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series as written by J. K. Rowling, the Ministry of Magic is the governing body of the magical community of Britain and succeeded the earlier Wizards Council. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Because the prophecy was "released" during the battle, neither Harry nor Neville manages to hear its contents. Albus Dumbledore, to whom the prophecy was originally made, the version in the Department of Mysteries being a copy, explains that it concerns "the Chosen One," a wizard that would have the power to fight against Voldemort. This Chosen One would be born "as the seventh month dies," and thus could refer to either Neville, born July 30, 1980, or Harry, born July 31, one day later.[HP5] It is Dumbledore's opinion that Voldemort indeed chose his "Chosen One" by attacking Harry rather than Neville. According to Rowling, this "does not give Neville either hidden powers or a mysterious destiny ... Neville remains the tantalising 'might-have-been.'

It is unknown whether Neville himself knows just how close he came to being "The Chosen One."


Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Neville has received a new wand, after his former one was broken during the battle at the Department of Mysteries; a wand made of cherry wood and unicorn hair, which was apparently one of the last ones Mr. Ollivander sold before he disappeared. The wand appears to have added further improvement to Neville's school performance. It has been commented on several occasions that "the wand chooses the wizard," and that one "never gets as good results with another wizard's wand"; Neville had previously been using his father's wand. It is also later, in "The Deathly Hallows", revealed that a wand's true allegiance and with it the ability to use it to its fullest can only be won either by being chosen by it or by besting the last owner in battle. Mr Ollivander (his first name has yet been revealed) is a fictional character in the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling. ...

It is revealed that Neville achieved an "Outstanding" in Herbology, and he did well in Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms, earning an "Exceeds Expectations." He got an "Acceptable" in Transfiguration, and is disappointed when Professor McGonagall will not allow him to join her N.E.W.T.-level class. Instead, he continues to Advanced Charms.

Neville wants the DA meetings to continue, as he feels they have helped him and the others to improve their skills. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Neville answers the call for help, and he fights against the Death Eaters once again. He does not appear to be as important there as he was in the Department of Mysteries Battle, but he may have been the person who stunned Fenrir Greyback.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

With Harry's absence and the control of Hogwarts in the hands of Severus Snape and Death Eaters Alecto and Amycus Carrow, Neville spends much of his seventh year as the resistance leader against Voldemort's takeover. Together with Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley, Neville reactivates and expands Dumbledore's Army, stepping into the leadership position in Harry's absence and helping students who were tormented under the new regime. As an act of resistance, they even gratified walls with "Dumbledore's Army: Still Recruiting" much to the Carrows' fury. Neville reveals that the Carrows beat him and that under their command, the Auror Dawlish tried unsuccessfully to kidnap his grandmother (who swiftly overwhelmed her opponent). Neville goes into hiding in the Room of Requirement, which he shows an incredible ability to control, because he, along with a number of other students, had such a great need for its protection. It has transformed into a large ship-like circular room, with hammocks and banners of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw hanging from the walls. Upon Harry's return to Hogwarts, Neville sends messages to Dumbledore's Army, which in turn gathers the Order of the Phoenix. Neville is a leader among the students during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Before his penultimate confrontation with Voldemort, Harry, warns Neville about the importance of Nagini, Voldemort's snake and will-be final Horcrux, and asks him to remind Hermione and Ron of the same -- if the two are busy (or more likely, should they be killed), he asks that Neville destroy Nagini if the opportunity presents itself. After Voldemort returns with Harry's apparently lifeless body, Neville defies him. After Bellatrix Lestrange identifies Neville, Voldemort offers him a place among the Death Eaters due to his Pure-Blood status; Neville refuses by yelling, "Dumbledore's Army!" to the applause and cheers of the remaining Hogwarts defenders. Voldemort responds by placing Neville in a Body-Bind Curse, summoning the Sorting Hat, placing it on Neville's head and setting it alight, as a sign of showing both his control over Hogwarts and a warning to those who continue to fight against him.

When reinforcements of centaurs, Thestrals, Grawp, and Buckbeak the Hippogriff arrive and Voldemort is distracted, Neville manages to break free of the curse, pull the Sorting Hat off his head, draw the Sword of Godric Gryffindor from it and decapitate Nagini. After the battle is won, Neville is shown surrounded by a group of fervent admirers. In the epilogue, it is revealed that Neville has become the Herbology professor at Hogwarts. He also remains in good contact with the other characters, since Harry and Ginny's children know him outside of his position as a professor, apparently well enough to pass along their parents' affection to him.

Despite not being The Chosen One, Neville does, in a way, fulfill the prophecy stated in Book 7 by beheading Nagini and facilitating Voldemort's final defeat. Throughout the series, he gains the courage to fight against both Voldemort and his Death Eaters, and does his part in the undoing of Voldemort's reign of terror. In many ways, Neville is portrayed as following in Harry's footsteps, both in the resistance in Hogwarts, the DA, and in the quest to destroy the Horcruxes (with Harry appointing Neville as his successor)- as well, the ability to pull the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat proves that he is a true Gryffindor. The final book marks the pinnacle of Neville's development - he shows a strong will and incredible courage, even in the face of death at the hand of Voldemort.

For example, Trevor is lost on the train while on their journey to Hogwarts in their first year. Hermione Granger helps Neville search for the toad.
