Any actor-character that presence not only isn’t necessary, but also is a detriment to the plot. For example, I can’t think of any character more useless than Neville Longbottom played by the unfamous lying Matthew Lewis. In PDF File Stone, Neville is used 4 times too many. We are introduced to him by Hermione walking inside each cabin to look for the missing frog, but sadly his first mention wasn’t even necessary since Hermione was going into each cabin to tell people to change into their wizard clothes (because is a minor plot hole since it’s the job of the prefect). The second time we see him its in front on Mcgonnal where he find the missing frog, this could have been replaced by simply showing pettergrew jumping away from Ron (which could have been re-used when they find out that she can turn into cat, and/or for 3rd movie foreshadow). Then we see him with the red crystal thing and the flying lesson, this could have been completely replaced by having Draco steal something from Hermione, having Harry do his hero thing and having hermionne throwing a fit about breaking rules, which could have been followed by the scene which Ron mentioned its no wonder she has no friends. Finally we have that pathetic scene in which he tries to stand up to the trio, this could have been completely removed by simply having Dumbledore give more rigged point to the trio.
Chamber of Azkaban : there are only 2 scene, the first one is the herbology class in which he faints (useless comic relief, could have used a random extra). Also, herbology is Neville forte because he is supposed to grow like the plants and the second is him being lifted by Pixles to the chandelier (easily replaced by having the Pixles pick one of Harry Book to the ceiling.

>Any actor-character that presence not only isn’t necessary
ESL presence is not necessary
>>
Prisoner of secret : He serves 0 purpose at all, the only scene I remember is Harry stealing his lollypop and Lupus trying to give him confidence in the closet lesson (I guess Lupin and the werewolf reference and the closet got something with the both of them being gay)
Order of the Goblet : We see him looking terrified during the unforgiable curse lesson, its supposed to give us background to a uselss character. The other scene is him giving the ginnyweed to Harry Potter (which was supposed to be Toby), I bet Lewis manager paid good money to have them replaced Toby with Neville, and then we get that uselss comic relief “I KILLED HARRY POTTER”. Useless and also stole us a Toby scene.
Fire of the Pheonix : Now this is the worst, we see him too much. First there is the hospital scene that was deleted, that could have been completely replaced by simply having Alice Longbottom giving the wrapper to Harry, and having Molly explained that she was an auror that fought Voldemort, at this point Harry realise the danger of fighting dead eaters (see no need for Neville, no one cares for him). Then we have all those dumble army scene which he could simply not be in. and then he goes to the mystery department and fight dead eater (harry didn’t want him to come, just like I didn’t want him to be in the movie.
>>
Half Blood Prince : unless to be a stupid comic relief by serving during slughorn party, he has 0 purpose. In the book harry think he saw him dead (if only)
Deathly Hollow : stole all the parts of Dean, Dean Thomas was supposed to lead Dumbledore army, that’s why he got arrested to the Malfoy manor and why Harry meet Dean’s father. Sadly JK Rowling felt it was too much and cut all dean part of the book but there are left over, that’s why Neville glow up never made sense cause he was never supposed to have one. In fact, when Dean was arrested, Neville would take over and the Dumbledore Army would start grumbling until Harry join them back again. Then Dean was supposed to kill the snake.
In the end, Matthew Lewis wasn’t necessary, shouldn’t have been cast and his presence only make the story worst. Hopefuly the tv serie cut his character, or make him fall of the boat and killed by the giant squid in the first episode.

Consider this: it must take something like talent to manage to stand out as the dullest character in the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Good thread OP. I can't think of any just yet. But here's a bump. I'll come back and add someone a bit later

jonathan in some kind of life, davy in dalziel and pascoe, alan in heartbeat, billy in where the hert is, jamie in the syndicate, gordon in bluestone, dominic in death in paradise, samuel in ripper street, tom in girfriend and hugh in all creatures to name a few

Snape from the last Jedi.

No idea what his character was about. I thought he was a major villain with a big back story. But nah my friend who is a big star wars stan said he didn't know anything about him

>random autist keeps making threads seething about Neville
What the actual fuck is going on?

>>214423657
matthew lewis was caught lying about his past, pretending he never looked like neville and it was all costume (not true at all, it was truly him but he is trying to revision his past as if he wasnt the ugly akward kid with fucked up british teeth)
>>
>>214423002
move on please, its been what like 15 years?

>>214423002
Did you deliberately rewrite this to make it sound even more ESL than before?

>>214425520
I still stand right tho, you didnt refute anything

Beginning to think Neville fucked this guy’s lass or something

>>214423002
You don't know a fucking thing about screenwriting and what the story needs.

>>214425657
You're wrong about everything.
>>
>>214425768
probably, but it seem i know more than the jk rowling herself
neville character only exist to make the trio looks better to the reader/audience, he serve no narrative purpose until the last book because she decided to cut dean story.
some might suspect money laundering operation
>>
>>214425828
im 100% right about everything concerning matthew lewis and his lies but i know the /tv/ must be nevilles at heart, thats why they dont like their idol being exposed.
perhaps /tv/ is hufflepuff? funny that neville is closer to prof. sprout than any other teacher, considering she is the head of hufflepuff, its like jk rowling never intended for everyone to be in griffindor. it makes more sense this way : ron = griffindor like every weasley, hermionne is ravenclaw, harry is slytherin and neville is cut/dismissed from the school or the very least he is a hufflepuff, not a grinfindor, and no i dont care about the sword thingy at the end, it was supposed to be Dean Thomas
>>
Wait so the NevilleSimp OP is Indian? Oh this just too good
>>
>>214425963
im 100% french but idc you can call me anything you want, i dont see anyone refuting and defeding neville so i guess people are starting to see the light and realise how wrong his presence in the franchise is.

>>214426025
Women love Neville, do women love you?
>>
>>214426081
who the fuck cares about the opinion of a woman, they cant even tell you what they want to eat. Also lying to a woman is not a feat, next time you flirt with one, just pretend you are an engineer or a dentist, they wont care and they will believe you. but unlike them, im not a woman, so i can tell that lewis is lying about his past and that his teeth were natural, not prosthetic (except in 3rd movie to make them look better), also no fat suit, no fake ears, complete insecure liar
