Extra Credit: Neville & ron/hermoine relationship growth

How, did Neville Longbottom go from being one of the most dorky and mild mannered characters in the franchise into a being a very strong wizard. From the beginning in Sorcerer’s Stone he showed his ability to stand up to friends however he was never really a fighter. In the Sorcerer’s Stone he was the character that anybody could have picked on so easily but was always part of the group, but nothing really stuck out strong about him. We first saw a glimpse of his fighting abilities in the Order Of The Phoenix when he excelled in Dumbledores Army practicing charms and spells and showing he could perform decently. in the Sorcerer’s Stone we knew him but in the deathly hallows he goes full circle from being this boy that anybody could have picked on to being one of the leaders of Dumbledores Army after Harry was no long at Hogwarts and killing Nagini the last horcrux. Neville Longbottom has definitely developed quite a bit since we first saw him.

            Another character or should I saw characters that you could easily look at are Ron and Hermoine. At first always bickering with one another, and occasionally enjoying each others company. They went from Harry’s sidekicks helping him defeat lord Voldemort’s challenges throughout the years, to  being fully developed individuals by themselves and making big strives in the deathly hallows. This once childlike friendship went full circle as well as in the midst of all the madness of the battle at Hogwarts they found time to fall in love.

            The characters in the Harry Potter franchise have each developed in their own ways. Some are more evident than others such as Neville going from a nothing to being one of the strongest wizards compared to Hermoine whom just continued to be perfect but finally fell in love with Ron. The life lessons learned on the way to their final development that we are able to see are quiet numerous and I have only been able to name a few. What a crazy ride it has been. Along with the Harry Potter characters, I think the Harry Potter generation developed, had their own life lessons and at the end dove into the magical world of Harry Potter maybe boarding the train for the first or final time with the various characters.
