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 3

Alice and Martha pick up their conversation on Neville from several years ago, this time, hopefully, without repeating any content!
