One day -- it was a Saturday, I believe -- my dear friend and I went to see the second part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Within the first half hour, a face appeared out of the gloominess and created a glowing halo that left me dumbfounded.
Who was this dashing fellow, this man who was not a Jack? (That meant "common man" in the olden days, like the 1300s.) The answer appeared before my eyes as my brain racked through files of the memories of my life, and that's when I realized, with a tear dripping down my cheek, that this man, this handsome man who can be compared to the 20-year-old Jack Dawson (okay, maybe he's not as attractive as Leo was), was the chubby little kid...
Neville Longbottom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, oui, si!!! It was HIM!!! That pudgy child with the pet toad he always managed to get lost, along with everything else he owned? It was HIM!! And he had blood on his face!! And even better, it made him look awesome!!!
Now, let's talk about the evolution of Neville Longbottom. In the first movie, he was that forgetful Jack (tee hee) who was undergoing the butterball phase, as my mom puts it. (Basically you have all this chubby fat that will go away after having some major growth spurt and blah blah blah etc.) He was like that until the fifth movie...? And then it hit.
His hair, once straight and overgrown, was trimmed to a perfect cut. His wimpiness transformed into a brave, roaring lion from Gryffindor. (Rawr.) Soon he was the one battling the bad guys, facing his fears, while Harry tried to escape his problems by hiding in a dense forest. By the last two films, he is a man of wax indeed. (More Shakespearean language for you Romeo and Juliet fans!)
To conclude this daring, fanatical article, Neville Longbottom could replace Stalin as the Man of Steel. (Just puttin' some history class on your already frying brain.) Because you all know he's that attractive!
Just admit it!
With undying, prancing love for Neville and Jack,
She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named :)
"Give me my Neville; and when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine,
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."
~Neville and Sam, Act III, Scene II
(... Fine, it was Romeo and Juliet, gosh!)
