Neville Longbottom Before and After

One of my favorite characters from Harry Potter is Neville Longbottom. In fact, I really tried to convince my husband to maybe have Neville as a middle name for one of our kids (but we went with Atticus instead which...totally better, don't you think?). Neville was kind of a minor character in the movies, and I understand why it had to be that way. But there was so much more to him and to his story. Neville totally rocked. And I don't mind saying that I was bitterly - BITTERLY - disappointed when it turned out Neville wasn't the one to take out Bellatrix Lestrange in the end. Anyway...remember when he was all cute and goobery in the first movie? Here's what he looked like then:


Along the way, he looked like this. All teen awkwardness and unfortunate teeth:


Here's what he looks like now:



My goodness.

Dentistry is indeed a wonderous thing.

Yes! I said these same things about Neville in my HP post yesterday. Matthew Lewis - way to grow up! :-)

I know, right? I think it's the teeth. They make all the difference in the world.

I spent three novels waiting for Neville to take down Bellatrix. He was totally robbed of that moment. I mean, I love Molly and all, but no, no, no.

Unrecognizable!

There was a kid from a Hugh Grant movie that had extremely unfortunate eyebrows and a Dorothy Hamill haircut. He grew up pretty nice too. He just played Beast in the recent X Men movie.
