Category #7: Neville Longbottom

Professor Neville Longbottom was a pure-blood wizard and only child of Frank and Alice Longbottom. He was a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry where he was sorted into Gryffindor House. His parents were well-respected Aurors and members of the original Order of the Phoenix. About sixteen months after Neville's birth, his parents were tortured into insanity by four Death Eaters via the use of the Cruciatus Curse. They were placed in the Janus Thickey Ward at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, leaving Neville to be raised by his grandmother, Augusta Longbottom.

Throughout his school years, Neville was mostly a shy, clumsy, introverted boy who was constantly being told by his grandmother that he was not good enough or living up to his parents' accomplishments. However, in his later years, he showed that he possessed great courage and perseverance. He proceeded to become an important member of Dumbledore's Army, an organization taught and led by Harry Potter. He would later fight in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and the Battle of Hogwarts. During the Battle of Hogwarts, having refused Voldemort's invitation to join the Death Eaters, he destroyed the seventh and final Horcrux when he beheaded the snake Nagini. He also co-led the D.A. during his final year in opposition to the Death Eater professors.

After the end of the Second Wizarding War, Neville briefly served as an Auror before becoming Hogwarts' professor of Herbology and marrying Hannah Abbot from Hufflepuff.
