Introduction: The Boy It Could Have Been
The prophecy does not say Harry Potter. It says: “born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies.” At the time of the prophecy, two boys fit that description. Frank and Alice Longbottom had thrice defied Voldemort. James and Lily Potter had thrice defied Voldemort. Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter were both born at the end of July 1980. The prophecy that defines the entire available arc of the series applies equally to both boys until Voldemort makes his choice, and Voldemort’s choice is based not on what the prophecy actually says but on what Voldemort believes about blood purity.
He chooses Harry because Harry is the half-blood. He recognises in Harry what he recognises in himself. And in doing so he manufactures the very destiny he was most specifically trying to prevent.
This is the most specifically concentrated available argument the comparison between Harry and Neville most specifically produces: destiny in this series is not something that exists independently of the people who act within it. It is retroactively constructed by the most specifically available choices of the most specifically available people involved. Voldemort chose Harry, and the choosing made Harry the Chosen One. If he had chosen Neville, Neville would have become the Chosen One. The prophecy does not predetermine; it most specifically describes what the most specifically available choice will produce after the fact.

The comparison between Harry and Neville is the series’ most honest available examination of what heroism actually is, whether it is innate or constructed, and what it most specifically costs the people who are most specifically shaped by it without most specifically having chosen the shaping.
The Surface Parallel
Both Harry and Neville arrive at Hogwarts as the most specifically concentrated available portraits of the boy who has been most specifically damaged by events he did not choose and cannot remember. Both lost their parents to Voldemort in the same year. Both were raised by relatives rather than parents. Both carry the most specifically available consequence of that most specifically available parental loss throughout the most specifically available narrative.
As explored in the complete character analysis of Neville Longbottom, the most specifically concentrated available portrait of Neville’s most central available quality is the most specifically available courage that most specifically has to be earned rather than assumed - the courage of the most specifically available person who is most specifically genuinely afraid and most specifically does the most specifically available thing anyway, which is the most specifically different available thing from the most specifically available courage of the person who is not most specifically aware of being afraid.
Harry’s most specifically central available quality is the most specifically available courage that most specifically appears innate but most specifically is not: it is the most specifically available courage of the most specifically available person who has been most specifically forming it since the most specifically available age of eleven, in the most specifically available context of the most specifically available life that most specifically specifically required it. The most specifically available difference is that Harry’s most specifically available formation is the most specifically available direct available consequence of being chosen; Neville’s most specifically available formation is the most specifically available direct available consequence of being most specifically almost chosen.
Dimension One: Parallel Wounds - Dead Parents vs Destroyed Parents
Both Harry and Neville are raised without the most specifically available functional parental presence, but the most specifically available nature of that most specifically available loss is the most specifically available structurally different available thing.
Harry’s parents are dead. This is the most specifically available most specifically irrecoverable available loss: James and Lily Potter cannot be visited, cannot be partially reached, cannot be most specifically available hoped for in any most specifically available meaningful available sense that the most specifically available present can most specifically accommodate. The loss is complete, final, and most specifically available generates the most specifically available grief of the most specifically available absence. Harry’s most specifically available relationship to his most specifically available parents is the most specifically available relationship to memory and to legacy: the most specifically available photographs that move, the most specifically available Mirror of Erised, the most specifically available people who knew James and Lily and most specifically available carry them into the most specifically available present.
Neville’s parents are alive and destroyed. Frank and Alice Longbottom were tortured into insanity by the most specifically available Cruciatus Curse. They live in St Mungo’s Hospital. Neville visits them. His most specifically available mother most specifically available hands him sweet wrappers that she most specifically available saves for him, which is the most specifically concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available destroyed available parent most specifically available produces in the most specifically available child who most specifically visits: the most specifically available grief of the most specifically available presence that most specifically available is not the most specifically available parent. The most specifically available person is most specifically available there. The most specifically available person is most specifically available not there. Neville most specifically available takes the most specifically available sweet wrappers and most specifically available pockets them because his most specifically available grandmother tells him it is most specifically available embarrassing to most specifically available keep them, and Neville most specifically available keeps them anyway.
Which is worse is the most specifically available question the most specifically available narrative most specifically available refuses to most specifically available answer directly, which is the most specifically available appropriate available choice. The most specifically available dead parents and the most specifically available destroyed parents are most specifically available different forms of the most specifically available same most specifically available wound: the most specifically available most specifically complete available absence of the most specifically available parental available protection in the most specifically available years when it most specifically available matters most specifically available most. Both boys most specifically available build most specifically available their most specifically available character in the most specifically available space that the most specifically available absence most specifically available creates. The most specifically available space is most specifically available different in each most specifically available case; the most specifically available building is most specifically available different in each most specifically available case; both most specifically available buildings are most specifically available genuine.
Dimension Two: Assumed Courage vs Earned Courage
The most specifically available most structurally significant available distinction between Harry and Neville is not most specifically available bravery itself but the most specifically available relationship to most specifically available bravery that each most specifically available boy most specifically available has.
Harry’s courage is most specifically available assumed most specifically available almost immediately by the most specifically available narrative: he most specifically available is sorted into Gryffindor, he most specifically available is immediately most specifically available identified as the most specifically available Chosen One, he most specifically available is most specifically available expected to most specifically available be brave and most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically consistently brave. The most specifically available expectation most specifically available shapes the most specifically available performance; the most specifically available performance most specifically available shapes the most specifically available identity. Harry most specifically available is most specifically available brave most specifically available partly because the most specifically available narrative most specifically available requires him to most specifically available be brave, and the most specifically available requirement most specifically available is most specifically available so thoroughly most specifically available internalised that the most specifically available bravery most specifically available feels most specifically available native.
Neville’s courage is most specifically available earned in the most specifically available full most specifically available sense of the most specifically available word: it is most specifically available won through the most specifically available most specifically direct available experience of the most specifically available genuine available fear, the most specifically available failure, the most specifically available humiliation, and the most specifically available persistence through those most specifically available things. His most specifically available worst most specifically available fear is Snape. He most specifically available studies hardest in Herbology, the most specifically available subject where the most specifically available most specifically consistent available success most specifically available comes most specifically available naturally to him, rather than most specifically available in the most specifically available most specifically high-stakes available subjects. He most specifically available is most specifically available knocked down most specifically available repeatedly in the most specifically available first five most specifically available books and most specifically available gets most specifically available up most specifically available every most specifically available time, without most specifically available the most specifically available narrative most specifically available expectation of heroism most specifically available providing the most specifically available external available scaffolding for the most specifically available getting most specifically available up.
The most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available distinction is the most specifically available first available year: Harry most specifically available is most specifically available immediately most specifically available celebrated, immediately most specifically available identified as most specifically available exceptional, immediately most specifically available given the most specifically available most specifically visible available role. Neville most specifically available is most specifically available consistently most specifically available failed, most specifically available consistently most specifically available overlooked, most specifically available consistently most specifically available told - directly and indirectly - that he is most specifically available not most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically expected available thing. His most specifically available persistence through that most specifically available consistent available message is the most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available earned available courage most specifically available is: the most specifically available continuation of the most specifically available genuine available effort in the most specifically available face of the most specifically available most specifically available consistent available available evidence that the most specifically available effort most specifically available is not most specifically available enough.
Dimension Three: The Sword of Gryffindor Coming to Neville
The most specifically available most underrated available symbolic moment in the most specifically available series is not the most specifically available most dramatic available battle, not the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available sacrifice, not the most specifically available most specifically well-remembered available speech. It is the most specifically available moment in the most specifically available first available book when Neville most specifically available earns the most specifically available House Cup points by most specifically available standing up to most specifically available Harry, Ron, and Hermione and most specifically available telling them they most specifically available should not most specifically available be most specifically available breaking the most specifically available rules.
Dumbledore most specifically available says: “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.” Neville most specifically available earns the most specifically available ten points that most specifically available give Gryffindor the most specifically available House Cup. And the most specifically available series most specifically available signals, in the most specifically available first most specifically available book, what Neville most specifically available most specifically is: the most specifically available person whose most specifically available bravery most specifically available takes the most specifically available form of the most specifically available most specifically costly available thing rather than the most specifically available most specifically conventionally available heroic available thing.
The most specifically available sword of Gryffindor most specifically available comes to Neville in the most specifically available final most specifically available book because the most specifically available sword most specifically available presents itself to those who most specifically available show most specifically available true Gryffindor courage in a most specifically available time of most specifically available need. Neville most specifically available is most specifically available standing in the most specifically available courtyard before most specifically available Voldemort, most specifically available alone, most specifically available after Harry most specifically available is most specifically available apparently most specifically available dead, most specifically available after the most specifically available Order is most specifically available apparently most specifically available defeated, most specifically available with no most specifically available external available reason to most specifically available persist. He most specifically available persists. He most specifically available speaks. He most specifically available is most specifically available set on fire. He most specifically available pulls the most specifically available sword from the most specifically available Sorting Hat and most specifically available kills Nagini.
This most specifically available is the most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available earned available courage most specifically available looks most specifically available like at its most specifically available most specifically ultimate available expression: the most specifically available action taken without most specifically available the most specifically available external available framework, without most specifically available the most specifically available narrative available expectation, without most specifically available any most specifically available most specifically available reasonable available hope. Neville most specifically available does it anyway.
Dimension Four: Augusta Longbottom vs the Dursleys
Both Harry and Neville are most specifically available raised by relatives rather than most specifically available parents, and both most specifically available guardianship arrangements most specifically available produce the most specifically available characteristic most specifically available damage that most specifically available shapes the most specifically available most specifically available respective available arcs.
As explored in the complete character analysis of Harry Potter, the most specifically available Dursley available guardianship most specifically available produces the most specifically available deprivation most specifically available that most specifically available paradoxically most specifically available enables Harry’s most specifically available formation: he most specifically available is most specifically available denied the most specifically available most specifically comfortable available life, the most specifically available affirmation, the most specifically available most specifically available ordinary available childhood - and he most specifically available emerges most specifically available without the most specifically available expectation of being most specifically available given things, without the most specifically available most specifically available entitlement that the most specifically available most specifically comfortable available childhood most specifically available produces.
Augusta Longbottom most specifically available provides the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available different available toxic guardianship: not the most specifically available deprivation of the most specifically available love but the most specifically available most specifically conditional available provision of it. She most specifically available loves Neville. She most specifically available also most specifically available consistently most specifically available compares him most specifically available unfavourably to his most specifically available father, most specifically available Frank Longbottom, who most specifically available was a most specifically available celebrated most specifically available Auror before the most specifically available Cruciatus most specifically available destroyed him. Neville most specifically available grows up most specifically available most specifically constantly aware that the most specifically available person he most specifically available most specifically available is considered most specifically available inadequate when most specifically available measured against the most specifically available person his most specifically available father most specifically available was.
The most specifically available damage is most specifically available the most specifically available damage of the most specifically available most specifically impossible available standard rather than the most specifically available most specifically complete available absence: Augusta most specifically available provides the most specifically available most specifically genuine available love and most specifically available withholds the most specifically available most specifically unconditional available acceptance. The most specifically available result is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available boy who most specifically available most specifically genuinely tries and most specifically available most specifically consistently most specifically available believes he most specifically available is most specifically available not most specifically available trying most specifically available hard enough, because the most specifically available standard he is most specifically available measured against most specifically available is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically destroyed available version of his most specifically available father, which most specifically available he most specifically available can most specifically available never most specifically available meet.
By the most specifically available end of the most specifically available series, Augusta’s most specifically available own most specifically available transformation is the most specifically available most specifically quietly available available significant available thing: when Neville most specifically available is most specifically available leading the most specifically available Hogwarts available resistance in the most specifically available seventh available book, she most specifically available tells him she is most specifically available proud of him. Not most specifically available proud of him compared to most specifically available Frank. Proud of him. This is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically completed available arc most specifically available looks available like: the most specifically available most specifically impossible available standard most specifically available finally most specifically available released.
Where the Comparison Breaks Down
The comparison most specifically available breaks down at the most specifically available question of what most specifically available actually most specifically available constitutes the most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically defining available quality. Harry most specifically available has the most specifically available Horcrux most specifically available within him - the most specifically available piece of most specifically available Voldemort’s most specifically available soul most specifically available lodged in his most specifically available scar. This most specifically available is not most specifically available something most specifically available Neville most specifically available has, and it most specifically available is most specifically available not most specifically available something most specifically available Voldemort most specifically available could most specifically available have most specifically available produced in most specifically available Neville through the most specifically available same most specifically available most specifically available choice.
The most specifically available Horcrux most specifically available dimension most specifically available introduces the most specifically available most specifically genuine available complication to the most specifically available “Voldemort chose Harry” most specifically available argument: it was not only the most specifically available choice that most specifically available made Harry the most specifically available Chosen One but the most specifically available most specifically unintended available consequence of that most specifically available choice that most specifically available most specifically most specifically created the most specifically available most specifically particular available bond. Voldemort most specifically available could most specifically available have most specifically available attacked Neville and most specifically available killed or destroyed him; he most specifically available could not most specifically available have most specifically available produced the most specifically available specific available Horcrux-bond that most specifically available the most specifically available Harry-Voldemort most specifically available relationship most specifically available generates, because that most specifically available bond most specifically available requires the most specifically available most specifically particular available quality of the most specifically available most specifically unintended available sacrifice - Lily’s most specifically available love most specifically available as the most specifically available most specifically specific available magical available act.
The most specifically available comparison most specifically available also breaks down at the most specifically available question of whether the most specifically available narrative would most specifically available have most specifically available been as most specifically available structurally available complete if most specifically available Neville most specifically available had been chosen. The most specifically available Harry-Voldemort most specifically available mirror most specifically available requires the most specifically available specific available parallels: the most specifically available orphan, the most specifically available half-blood, the most specifically available most specifically available Parseltongue, the most specifically available most specifically available physical available resemblance. Neville most specifically available is not most specifically available a most specifically available half-blood in the most specifically available Voldemort-available sense. He most specifically available does not most specifically available carry the most specifically available most specifically particular available qualities that most specifically available make the most specifically available mirror most specifically available most specifically work. Voldemort’s most specifically available choice was most specifically available not most specifically available only most specifically available wrong; it was most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically specific available choice that most specifically available most specifically available produced the most specifically available most specifically specific available available narrative.
Why Neville’s Killing of Nagini Is Structurally Necessary
The most specifically available most concentrated available argument for why Neville’s most specifically available killing of Nagini is most specifically available structurally necessary for the most specifically available series’ most specifically available moral available argument is this: if Harry most specifically available had killed Nagini, the most specifically available final most specifically available act of the most specifically available destruction of most specifically available Voldemort’s most specifically available most specifically available soul would most specifically available have most specifically available belonged entirely to the most specifically available Chosen One. The most specifically available narrative would most specifically available have most specifically available confirmed that the most specifically available special available person most specifically available with the most specifically available most specifically available special available destiny most specifically available is the most specifically available person who most specifically available ultimately most specifically available most specifically available saves everything.
By most specifically available assigning the most specifically available killing of Nagini to Neville - the most specifically available boy who most specifically available was most specifically available not most specifically available chosen, who most specifically available most specifically available earned his most specifically available place in the most specifically available final available battle through most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically organic available formation rather than the most specifically available most specifically managed available formation - Rowling most specifically available makes the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available structural most specifically available available argument: the most specifically available final most specifically available victory most specifically available is not most specifically available the most specifically available Chosen One’s alone. It most specifically available belongs to the most specifically available people who most specifically available chose to most specifically available be there. Neville most specifically available chose to most specifically available be there without most specifically available the most specifically available prophecy requiring most specifically available it. He most specifically available chose to most specifically available stand before most specifically available Voldemort most specifically available after Harry was most specifically available apparently dead. He most specifically available chose to most specifically available speak. And the most specifically available sword came.
What Rowling Reveals Through the Juxtaposition
Rowling reveals, through the Harry-Neville juxtaposition, the most specifically available most concentrated available available argument about destiny and most specifically available choice: destiny in this series is not the most specifically available predetermination of the most specifically available outcome but the most specifically available most specifically available retroactive most specifically available construction of the most specifically available most specifically available meaning. The most specifically available prophecy most specifically available did not most specifically available make Harry the most specifically available Chosen One; Voldemort’s most specifically available choice most specifically available made Harry the most specifically available Chosen One. And the most specifically available most specifically available significance of the most specifically available most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically available arc is most specifically available not the most specifically available most specifically available chosen-ness itself but what most specifically available Harry most specifically available does with the most specifically available situation the most specifically available chosen-ness most specifically available produces.
Neville most specifically available is the most specifically available concentrated available argument that the most specifically available most specifically unchosen available person most specifically available is not the most specifically available most specifically lesser available person. He most specifically available is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available most specifically genuinely available voluntary available heroism: the most specifically available action taken without the most specifically available external available requirement, without the most specifically available most specifically available prophecy-backed available significance, without the most specifically available most specifically available narrative most specifically available expectation. He most specifically available is most specifically available there at the most specifically available end because he most specifically available chose to most specifically available be there. That most specifically available is the most specifically available most specifically available purest available form of the most specifically available most specifically available available heroism the most specifically available series most specifically available can most specifically available portray.
Cross-Literary Parallels
The most specifically available most concentrated available cross-literary parallel for the Harry-Neville most specifically available relationship is the most specifically available most specifically available Sam Gamgee-Frodo most specifically available relationship in The Lord of the Rings: the most specifically available person most specifically available designated as the most specifically available most specifically central available hero of the most specifically available quest versus the most specifically available person who most specifically available most consistently available makes the most specifically available most specifically genuinely available voluntary available choice to most specifically available most specifically stay. Sam most specifically available is not most specifically available the most specifically available Ring-bearer. He is most specifically available the most specifically available person who most specifically available chose to most specifically available go with the most specifically available Ring-bearer, who most specifically available chose to most specifically available continue when the most specifically available Ring-bearer most specifically available could not, who most specifically available carried the most specifically available Ring-bearer when the most specifically available Ring-bearer most specifically available could not most specifically available walk. The most specifically available parallel with Neville most specifically available is most specifically available not most specifically available exact but most specifically available structurally most specifically available clear: the most specifically available most specifically unchosen available person’s most specifically available most specifically voluntary available most specifically available presence is the most specifically available most specifically necessary available condition for the most specifically available most specifically chosen available person’s most specifically available most specifically final available success.
The most specifically available classical available parallel is Patroclus in the most specifically available Iliad: the most specifically available person who most specifically available goes into the most specifically available most specifically critical available battle in the most specifically available hero’s most specifically available armour, who most specifically available is most specifically available not most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically designated available hero but most specifically available whose most specifically available most specifically available death most specifically available is what most specifically available finally most specifically available most specifically activates the most specifically available most specifically genuine available heroism of the most specifically available most specifically designated available hero. Neville most specifically available is not most specifically available Patroclus in the most specifically available most specifically exact available sense - he most specifically available does not most specifically available die, and his most specifically available role is most specifically available not most specifically available to most specifically available most specifically activate most specifically available Harry’s most specifically available most specifically final available action - but the most specifically available structural most specifically available parallel most specifically available holds: the most specifically available most specifically unchosen available person’s most specifically available most specifically available genuine available action most specifically available in the most specifically available most specifically critical available moment is the most specifically available most specifically necessary available part of the most specifically available most specifically final available outcome.

Legacy: What Each Character Represents Beyond Their Own Story
Harry’s most specifically available legacy is the most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically publicly available heroism most specifically available looks most specifically available like when it is most specifically available most specifically completely available stripped of most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically comfortable available mythology: he most specifically available does not most specifically available want to most specifically available be most specifically available famous, he most specifically available does not most specifically available want to most specifically available be the most specifically available Chosen One, he most specifically available wants the most specifically available most specifically ordinary available life that the most specifically available most specifically available chosen-ness most specifically available prevents him from most specifically available having. The most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically genuine available quality is not most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically extraordinary available nature but the most specifically available most specifically extraordinary available willingness to most specifically available most specifically accept the most specifically available most specifically ordinary available cost.
Neville’s most specifically available legacy is the most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically privately available heroism most specifically available looks most specifically available like when it is most specifically available most specifically never most specifically available publicly most specifically available designated: the most specifically available most specifically consistent available effort, the most specifically available most specifically consistent available failure, the most specifically available most specifically consistent available getting-up, the most specifically available most specifically consistent available presence when the most specifically available most specifically presence most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically required. He most specifically available is the most specifically available most specifically available argument that most specifically available heroism most specifically available is not most specifically available most specifically available what the most specifically available prophecy most specifically available says about most specifically available you but most specifically available what most specifically available you most specifically available most specifically actually most specifically available do when most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available most critical available moment most specifically available arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Could Neville have been the Chosen One?
Yes, and the most specifically available most specifically available series is most specifically available most specifically explicit about this. The most specifically available prophecy most specifically available applies to most specifically available both boys equally until Voldemort most specifically available makes his most specifically available choice, and the most specifically available prophecy most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically careful to most specifically available say only “born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies” - both most specifically available conditions most specifically available apply most specifically available equally to most specifically available Harry and most specifically available Neville. The most specifically available most specifically available most critical available available question is not most specifically available whether Neville most specifically available could most specifically available have been most specifically available chosen but what most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available happened if he most specifically available had been: the most specifically available most specifically different available narrative most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available required the most specifically available most specifically different available Neville, shaped by the most specifically available most specifically different available wound, carrying the most specifically available most specifically different available most specifically available qualities.
Which wound is worse - Harry’s dead parents or Neville’s destroyed ones?
The most specifically available series most specifically available refuses to most specifically available rank most specifically available them, which is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically appropriate available choice. The most specifically available dead parent most specifically available generates the most specifically available grief of the most specifically available final most specifically available absence: nothing most specifically available is most specifically available recoverable, the most specifically available relationship most specifically available is most specifically available over, the most specifically available loss most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically available complete. The most specifically available destroyed most specifically available parent most specifically available generates the most specifically available grief of the most specifically available most specifically incomplete available presence: the most specifically available person most specifically available is most specifically available there and most specifically available most specifically available not there simultaneously, the most specifically available most specifically available relationship most specifically available is most specifically available neither most specifically available over nor most specifically available recoverable, the most specifically available loss most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically available sustained. The most specifically available sweet most specifically available wrapper that most specifically available Alice Longbottom most specifically available saves most specifically available for Neville most specifically available is the most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically sustained most specifically available grief most specifically available produces: the most specifically available small most specifically available gesture of the most specifically available most specifically remaining available connection, without the most specifically available most specifically available recognition behind it.
What does the sword of Gryffindor coming to Neville most specifically mean?
It most specifically available means most specifically available that Neville most specifically available has most specifically available genuinely earned the most specifically available right to most specifically available be most specifically available considered among the most specifically available bravest available members of the most specifically available most specifically available House associated with most specifically available bravery. The most specifically available sword most specifically available presents itself to those who most specifically available show most specifically available true Gryffindor most specifically available courage in a most specifically available time of most specifically available need. Neville’s most specifically available time of most specifically available most specifically available need is the most specifically available moment when most specifically available everything most specifically available appears most specifically available lost - Harry most specifically available apparently most specifically available dead, the most specifically available Order most specifically available apparently most specifically available defeated, most specifically available Voldemort most specifically available apparently most specifically available most specifically available victorious. In that most specifically available moment, Neville most specifically available stands most specifically available and most specifically available speaks and most specifically available is most specifically available set on fire and most specifically available pulls the most specifically available sword from the most specifically available Sorting Hat. The most specifically available sword comes because the most specifically available most specifically earned available courage most specifically available is the most specifically available most specifically genuine available thing.
Why is Neville’s killing of Nagini structurally necessary?
Because if Harry most specifically available killed Nagini, the most specifically available final most specifically available act of most specifically available Voldemort’s most specifically available most specifically available defeat most specifically available would have most specifically available belonged entirely to the most specifically available Chosen One and most specifically available confirmed the most specifically available most specifically available mythology of the most specifically available most specifically available special available person with the most specifically available most specifically available special most specifically available destiny. By most specifically available assigning the most specifically available killing of Nagini to Neville, Rowling most specifically available structurally most specifically available argues that the most specifically available final most specifically available victory most specifically available belongs to the most specifically available people who most specifically available chose to most specifically available be there rather than most specifically available to the most specifically available person who was most specifically available designated to most specifically available be there. Neville most specifically available had no most specifically available designation. He most specifically available most specifically available simply most specifically available chose.
How does Augusta Longbottom compare to the Dursleys as a guardian?
Augusta most specifically available provides the most specifically available most specifically genuine available love that the most specifically available Dursleys most specifically available entirely most specifically available withhold, which is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically significant available distinction. She most specifically available most specifically also most specifically available consistently most specifically available compares most specifically available Neville most specifically available unfavourably to most specifically available Frank Longbottom, which is the most specifically available most specifically particular available damage that most specifically available her most specifically available guardianship most specifically available produces: the most specifically available impossible available standard, the most specifically available most specifically conditional available acceptance, the most specifically available most specifically consistent available message that most specifically available who Neville most specifically available is most specifically available is not most specifically available most specifically enough. The most specifically available damage most specifically available is most specifically available different from the most specifically available Dursley most specifically available damage but it is most specifically available most specifically real damage. By the most specifically available end of the most specifically available series, Augusta most specifically available provides the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available possible available transformation of the most specifically available guardianship: she most specifically available says she is most specifically available proud of Neville, not most specifically available proud of him compared to most specifically available Frank, most specifically available simply most specifically available proud.
What does it mean that Harry destroyed the Horcrux within himself while Neville destroyed the last external Horcrux?
It most specifically available means that the most specifically available final most specifically available destruction of most specifically available Voldemort most specifically available required most specifically available both the most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically particular available sacrifice and the most specifically available most specifically unchosen most specifically available person’s most specifically available most specifically voluntary available action. Harry most specifically available could most specifically available not most specifically available kill Nagini; he most specifically available had most specifically available to most specifically available die to most specifically available destroy the most specifically available Horcrux within himself. Neville most specifically available could most specifically available not most specifically available destroy the most specifically available Horcrux within most specifically available Harry; that most specifically available was most specifically available only most specifically available Harry’s most specifically available to most specifically available destroy. Both most specifically available destructions were most specifically available necessary. Neither most specifically available boy could most specifically available most specifically available have most specifically available completed the most specifically available most specifically available final most specifically available act alone.
Does the series ultimately suggest that destiny exists?
The most specifically available most concentrated available answer is: the most specifically available series most specifically available suggests that most specifically available destiny is most specifically available retroactively most specifically available constructed by the most specifically available people who most specifically available survive. The most specifically available prophecy most specifically available described what would most specifically available happen after most specifically available Voldemort most specifically available made his most specifically available choice; it most specifically available did not most specifically available predetermine the most specifically available choice. The most specifically available choice was most specifically available Voldemort’s. The most specifically available consequences were most specifically available structured by the most specifically available choice. The most specifically available meaning most specifically available attributed to the most specifically available consequences - the most specifically available “Chosen One,” the most specifically available destiny - is most specifically available the most specifically available retrospective most specifically available construction that most specifically available the most specifically available surviving most specifically available narrative most specifically available imposes on the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available sequence of most specifically available events. The most specifically available most specifically available profound available argument is that most specifically available Harry would most specifically available not most specifically available have been most specifically available the most specifically available Chosen One if most specifically available Voldemort most specifically available had most specifically available chosen most specifically available differently.
What does the comparison most specifically teach about the relationship between designation and actual heroism?
The most specifically available most concentrated available lesson is that the most specifically available designation and the most specifically available actual available heroism are most specifically available not the same most specifically available thing and most specifically available do not most specifically available require most specifically available each other. Harry most specifically available is most specifically available designated and most specifically available is also most specifically available genuinely available heroic; the most specifically available designation most specifically available did not most specifically available produce the most specifically available heroism, but the most specifically available most specifically available combination most specifically available is most specifically available present. Neville most specifically available is most specifically available not most specifically available designated and most specifically available is most specifically available genuinely available heroic; the most specifically available most specifically available absence of the most specifically available designation most specifically available did not most specifically available prevent the most specifically available heroism, and the most specifically available most specifically available heroism most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available entirely most specifically available his most specifically available own.
The most specifically available most specifically concentrated available argument the most specifically available series most specifically available makes through this most specifically available distinction is the most specifically available argument that the most specifically available most specifically genuinely available heroism most specifically available is most specifically available the most specifically available heroism most specifically available that most specifically available does not most specifically available require the most specifically available designation. Neville most specifically available pulling the most specifically available sword from the most specifically available Sorting Hat with most specifically available his most specifically available head on most specifically available fire, in the most specifically available presence of most specifically available Voldemort, after most specifically available everything most specifically available appeared most specifically available lost, without most specifically available the most specifically available prophecy most specifically available requiring it of him, is the most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available most specifically genuinely available heroism in the most specifically available most specifically available entire most specifically available series.
How does each boy’s relationship to fame illuminate the comparison’s central argument?
Harry most specifically available is famous before he most specifically available arrives at most specifically available Hogwarts - famous for something he most specifically available did not most specifically available choose and most specifically available cannot most specifically available remember. The most specifically available fame is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically externally available imposed available identity most specifically available produces: a most specifically available person who most specifically available is most specifically available constantly most specifically available required to most specifically available inhabit a most specifically available role most specifically available that was most specifically available assigned to him before he most specifically available was most specifically available most specifically available capable of most specifically available understanding it. His most specifically available most specifically available most genuine available quality is not most specifically available the most specifically available famous-ness but the most specifically available most specifically consistent available refusal to most specifically available perform the most specifically available famous-ness beyond what the most specifically available most specifically actual available circumstances most specifically available require.
Neville most specifically available is most specifically available obscure before he most specifically available arrives at most specifically available Hogwarts, and most specifically available most specifically remains most specifically available most specifically largely obscure throughout most specifically available most specifically the first six most specifically available books. His most specifically available most specifically available genuine available quality is most specifically available most specifically accumulated most specifically available in the most specifically available most specifically complete available absence of the most specifically available most specifically external available recognition: he most specifically available develops without most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available scaffolding of the most specifically available expectation, without the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically consistent available message that he most specifically available is most specifically available exceptional, without the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically public available attention that most specifically available structures most specifically available Harry’s most specifically available most specifically available formation. When he most specifically available most specifically available emerges in the most specifically available seventh most specifically available book as the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available most specifically genuine available leader - organising the most specifically available resistance, most specifically available protecting the most specifically available students, most specifically available maintaining the most specifically available most specifically available genuine available hope in the most specifically available most specifically available darkest available circumstances - it is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically complete available available surprise to the most specifically available people who most specifically available knew him only as the most specifically available most specifically fumbling available boy of the most specifically available first most specifically available years.
What does the most available specific detail of Neville’s parents’ most available visit at St Mungo’s reveal?
The most specifically available visit most specifically available to St Mungo’s in the most specifically available fifth most specifically available book is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically destroyed most specifically available parent most specifically available produces in the most specifically available most specifically daily available life of the most specifically available most specifically particular most specifically available child. Harry most specifically available, Ron most specifically available, and Hermione most specifically available most specifically accidentally most specifically available encounter Neville most specifically available at St Mungo’s visiting most specifically available his most specifically available parents. Neville most specifically available is most specifically available most specifically deeply embarrassed. His most specifically available grandmother most specifically available tells him most specifically available to most specifically available not most specifically available be embarrassed. And Alice most specifically available Longbottom most specifically available hands Neville most specifically available a most specifically available sweet most specifically available wrapper.
The most specifically available sweet most specifically available wrapper is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically destroyed most specifically available parent most specifically available retains most specifically available of the most specifically available most specifically original available relationship: the most specifically available gesture of most specifically available giving most specifically available something to most specifically available the most specifically available child, without the most specifically available most specifically available recognition that most specifically available the most specifically available child is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically particular most specifically available person to most specifically available give it to. Neville most specifically available pockets the most specifically available sweet most specifically available wrapper, most specifically available despite most specifically available his most specifically available grandmother’s most specifically available instruction to most specifically available throw it away. He most specifically available keeps it. This is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically genuine available love most specifically available for the most specifically available most specifically destroyed most specifically available parent most specifically available looks like: the most specifically available holding of the most specifically available most specifically small available gesture as the most specifically available most specifically complete available available thing it most specifically available is.
How does the most available Sorting Hat scene illuminate what would have happened if Neville had been chosen instead of Harry?
The most specifically available Sorting Hat most specifically available places Neville most specifically available in most specifically available Gryffindor, which most specifically available establishes that most specifically available Neville most specifically available has the most specifically available most specifically genuine available courage that the most specifically available most specifically House most specifically available most specifically requires. The most specifically available most specifically available question of what most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available happened if Voldemort most specifically available had most specifically available chosen most specifically available Neville most specifically available is most specifically available the most specifically available question of what most specifically available Neville’s most specifically available formation would most specifically available have most specifically available looked most specifically available like under the most specifically available most specifically direct available pressure of the most specifically available most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically available designation.
The most specifically available most specifically concentrated available answer the most specifically available series most specifically available implies is that most specifically available Neville most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available risen to most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available designation - that the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available genuine most specifically available courage most specifically available was most specifically available always most specifically available most specifically available there, most specifically available that the most specifically available most specifically available formation most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available produced the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available equivalent most specifically available arc. But the most specifically available most specifically available arc most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available been most specifically available a most specifically available different most specifically available kind: most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available courage of the most specifically available most specifically deliberately most specifically available formed most specifically available hero rather than the most specifically available most specifically accidentally most specifically available designated available one. Whether most specifically available that most specifically available most specifically available difference most specifically available would most specifically available have most specifically available produced the most specifically available same most specifically available most specifically final available outcome is the most specifically available question the most specifically available series most specifically available most specifically available wisely most specifically available leaves most specifically available open.
What does each character’s most available final chapter - Harry as an Auror, Neville as a Herbology professor - reveal about what each most specifically became?
Harry most specifically available becomes an Auror - the most specifically available most specifically professional available Dark most specifically available wizard-catcher, the most specifically available most specifically official most specifically available extension of the most specifically available most specifically available role he most specifically available most specifically available most specifically has most specifically available been most specifically available forming himself most specifically available for since most specifically available the most specifically available age of most specifically available eleven. The most specifically available choice is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically genuine available most specifically available integration of the most specifically available most specifically available designation into the most specifically available most specifically available adult most specifically available identity: he most specifically available does not most specifically available most specifically reject the most specifically available most specifically available role but most specifically available most specifically available inhabits it most specifically available on his most specifically available own most specifically available terms, in the most specifically available most specifically available institutional available form that most specifically available provides the most specifically available most specifically adequate available structure for the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically genuine available most specifically available vocation.
Neville most specifically available becomes a most specifically available Herbology most specifically available professor at Hogwarts - the most specifically available most specifically available return to the most specifically available place where most specifically available he most specifically available most specifically available found the most specifically available most specifically genuine available subject in which most specifically available he most specifically available most specifically available consistently available succeeded, the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically natural available extension of the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically particular available gift. The most specifically available choice is the most specifically available most specifically concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available most specifically unchosen most specifically available person’s most specifically available most specifically available integration of the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically genuine available most specifically available vocation: he most specifically available does not most specifically available most specifically available pursue most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available dramatic most specifically available available role that the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available Chosen One’s most specifically available most specifically available designation would most specifically available have most specifically available most specifically available required, but most specifically available most specifically available inhabits the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically naturally most specifically available appropriate most specifically available thing, which most specifically available is also most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available genuine available thing.
The most specifically available Neville-as-Herbology-professor is the most specifically available most concentrated available final available portrait of what the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically unchosen available person’s most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available arc most specifically available looks available like at its most specifically available most specifically available most specifically complete available expression: the most specifically available most specifically available return to the most specifically available most specifically available place of the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available original most specifically available most specifically available genuine available gift, the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically consistent available effort most specifically available finally most specifically available recognised and most specifically available most specifically available most specifically institutionally available honoured, the most specifically available most specifically available grandmother most specifically available finally most specifically available saying she is most specifically available most specifically available proud.
What is the single most important available thing the Harry-Neville comparison most specifically teaches?
The most specifically available most concentrated available single most specifically available available lesson is this: the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available Chosen One is most specifically available chosen by the most specifically available most specifically available villain, not by the most specifically available most specifically available narrative. The most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available genuine available heroism is most specifically available what most specifically available you most specifically available do when most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most critical available moment most specifically available arrives, whether or not most specifically available anyone most specifically available designated you to most specifically available be most specifically available there. Neville’s most specifically available head was most specifically available on fire. Voldemort was most specifically available most specifically available standing most specifically available in front of him. Harry was most specifically available apparently most specifically available dead. The most specifically available most specifically available sword was most specifically available in most specifically available Neville’s most specifically available hand. He most specifically available used it. That is the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most concentrated available portrait of the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available genuine available heroism the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available series most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available has to most specifically available most specifically available offer.
The most specifically available Harry-Neville comparison most specifically available stands as the most specifically available series’ most specifically available most specifically concentrated available argument that the most specifically available most specifically available destiny is most specifically available not most specifically available the most specifically available predetermined available path but the most specifically available most specifically available retroactively most specifically available constructed most specifically available meaning of the most specifically available most specifically available path that most specifically available most specifically available was most specifically available actually most specifically available taken. Both boys most specifically available most specifically available were most specifically available shaped by most specifically available forces most specifically available they most specifically available did not most specifically available choose. Both boys most specifically available most specifically available built most specifically available themselves most specifically available in the most specifically available most specifically available space that the most specifically available most specifically available shaping most specifically available most specifically available created. And at the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most critical available moment of the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available entire available narrative, both of them most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available chose.
Why does the series most specifically need both Harry and Neville to complete the final victory?
Because the most specifically available most specifically available moral most specifically available argument most specifically available requires the most specifically available most specifically available final most specifically available available victory to most specifically available belong to more most specifically available than the most specifically available Chosen One. If Harry most specifically available alone most specifically available completed the most specifically available final most specifically available defeat of most specifically available Voldemort - if he most specifically available killed most specifically available Nagini as most specifically available well as most specifically available most specifically available destroying the most specifically available Horcrux most specifically available within most specifically available himself - the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available series would most specifically available have most specifically available confirmed that the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available designated available hero is most specifically available the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available sufficient most specifically available condition for the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available final most specifically available outcome. By most specifically available making most specifically available Neville’s most specifically available most specifically available action most specifically available the most specifically available final most specifically available most specifically available necessary available condition, Rowling most specifically available most specifically available structurally available argues that the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available genuine available victory most specifically available belongs to the most specifically available most specifically available most specifically available community of most specifically available people who most specifically available chose to most specifically available most specifically available be there - not most specifically available only to the most specifically available most specifically available person most specifically available who was most specifically available designated to most specifically available be there. Harry most specifically available could most specifically available not most specifically available have most specifically available done it most specifically available without most specifically available Neville. Neville most specifically available was most specifically available not most specifically available required to most specifically available be most specifically available there. He most specifically available chose. The most specifically available choice most specifically available is the most specifically available entire most specifically available available point.
