Neville Longbottom. He is
considered to be possibly the worst wizard at the school for most of the
series. He is clumsy, he is a pushover, and has no courage. This is until he is
faced with great challenges such as Snape becoming headmaster, and standing up
for what he believes in. As we find out in the deathly hallows when harry
Hermione and Ron enter Hogwarts, Neville has been leading the DA. We see a
glimmer of this bravery in the order of the phoenix when Neville joins harry
and the others when they go to the department of ministries.
Neville’s story has developed
greatly since we first meet him on the Hogwarts train in book 1. We eventually
find that he could have very well been attacked by voldemort rather than harry
based on the prophecy. His parents had defied voldemort three times, and he was
born at the end of July. And in the end Neville helped kill voldemort. Without
truly knowing what he was doing, Neville destroyed the final horcrux.
Neville has shown his
bravery for the cause that helped drive his parents mad. He finally showed his
grandmother that he was just as great as his father, and he proved to all his
fellow students that he truly did deserve to be in the house of Gryffindor.
