Quotes by and about Neville Longbottom

Trevor!

I'm worth twelve of you, Malfoy,' 

'I won't let you do it, I'll – I'll fight you!'

'Right, Neville,' said Professor Lupin. 'first things first: what
would you say is the thing that frightens you most in the world?'

…

'Professor Snape.'  

'There's one – the Cruciatus curse,' said Neville, in a small
but distinct voice.

'His father, Frank, was an Auror just like Professor Moody. He and his wife
were tortured for information about Voldemort's whereabouts after he lost his
powers, as you heard.'  

'I'm nobody,' 

'Expelliarmus!' said Neville, and Harry, caught unawares,
felt his wand fly out of his hand.

'I DID IT!' said Neville gleefully. 'I've never done it before – I DID
IT!'

But Neville said quietly, 'Thanks, Mum.' 

  You were right, never better. I feel like I can spit fire.  

  You were right, never better. I feel like I can spit fire. 

   Fourteen years ago, a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange used the 
Crutiatus Curse on my parents. She tortured them for information, but 
they never gave in. I'm quite proud to be their son. But I'm not sure 
I'm ready for everyone to know just yet.

"Lucky you,"

Much more macho.Harry Potter: Thanks, and what did you tell her Ron's got?Ginny Weasley: A Pygmy Puff, but I didn't say where.

He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?
 

"The thing about growing up with Fred and George," said Ginny thoughtfully, "is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough

The Crumple-Horned Snorkack can't fly,

"Oh no," said Luna. "No, I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up.... It always does in the end.

Books! And cleverness! There are more important things -- friendship
      and bravery.
