It’s really important to me that Neville finds the bravery within himself by accepting his fears and worries, and not by fundamentally changing who he is. He’s always going to be a little clumsy, a little forgetful, still anxious sometimes; but he’s also going to grow up to be a supportive, dependable professor who’s every students crush. He’s going to remain round-faced and chubby, but he’s going to learn to love his curves and softness. He’s going to be confident, not because he conformed to everyone’s standards of attractiveness or heroship, but because he’ll accept that he doesn’t have to.
Neville Longbottom man, he’s such an amazing character that defies all expectations simply by being a strong and kindhearted person. The world would be a better place if there were more Neville’s in it.
