Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 7

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 7

Alice, Martha, and Jim Dale are back to finish discussing Neville. In the seventh book, Neville becomes–there’s no other word for it–cool. As usual, this is obvious to readers through his long hair, his casual demeanor, and his habit of calling people by the first syllable of their name.

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 6

Neville’s arc continues in the sixth book, though perhaps not quite as gracefully as readers might hope – there’s still plenty of falling on his back, hitting his head, and of course, lighting his own pants on fire!

But with the revelation about what happened to his parents, Harry and readers begin… Read more

Care for a game of Exploding Snap? NO, we don’t either. And watch where you sit – Crookshanks might already be there! But for as many cringeworthy moments as Neville has in the third book, there’s also plenty of redeeming scenes – Lupin helps him face his worst fears, and Hedwig helps herself to a… Read more

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 1

Alice and Martha discuss their hottest, most original takes on poor, blundering Neville in the first three books. He may be worth twelve of Malfoy, but a game of Exploding Snap with him is the last thing Harry would ever want. Is your Remembrall glowing red? If so… sorry, we have no idea why, either!… Read more
