Neville Longbottom

Neville Longbottom struggled badly in his Hogwarts classes. We all know how our hearts ache every time Severus Snape treated him badly in Potions. However, Neville had an extraordinary ability for herbal medicine. We couldn't have been more delighted to learn that he had eventually become a Herbology lecturer — it was the ideal career choice for him.

We secretly like Neville's lack of coordination — it surely contributed to the story's brighter parts. Whether Neville tripped over a chair on his walk to the Sorting Hat, broke his wrist during his first flying lesson, smashed teacups in Divination, or melted Seamus's cauldron in Potions, it just added to his relatability.

When we met Neville Longbottom for the first time, he did not strike us as a risk taker or a rule breaker. Indeed, at times it appeared as though the poor kid was straining every ounce of focus simply to get by without major mishaps or catastrophes. He most certainly did not seem to have the time or space to contemplate mayhem or mischief. Nonetheless, Neville matured over the book, and by the last chapters, he had grown into a powerful leader - one with a rebellious streak.
