7 Saddest Parts Of Neville Longbottom’s Story That The Harry Potter Movies Left Out

Neville Longbottom’s story was dotted with a few sad moments in the Harry Potter movies, but that was nothing compared to the books. Kind but entirely lacking in confidence, Neville had the most dramatic arc of any of the Wizarding World’s characters. By the end of the series, he had proved that the Sorting Hat hadn’t made a mistake in placing him in Gryffindor, and Harry’s victory would have been impossible without him. The Harry Potter movies also captured this shift, but the resolution wasn’t nearly as satisfying without the additional context of Neville’s full book story.
