Neville Longbottom, played by Matthew Lewis, has to be one of the worst characters in Harry Potter. The actor gives a pretty poor performance and is used mainly as comic relief because he lacks the skill to do much else.When we're first introduced to Neville by name, he already causes a number of minor plot holes that begin to break the background universe. For starters, why is Hermione looking for his frog? You're going to tell me it’s because she was walking around telling students to change into their wizard robes but that’s a prefect’s job, which should’ve been Percy’s responsibility, who could have repair Harry's glasses and also give more backround to the rat.In the same scene, J.K. Rowling fails to respect her own world-building. She had already established that underage wizards aren’t allowed to use magic outside of school, yet both Ron and Hermione perform magic on the train and face no consequences. Also, why does Hermione know a glass-repair charm? She doesn’t wear glasses, and neither do her parents. It’s just another example of the world-building taking a hit for the sake of convenience in order to add Neville.Then we have to endure the boat scene which is actually very well done. The main actors, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, do a great job conveying awe and excitement. Then we get a close-up of Matthew Lewis with his mouth hanging open, failing to convey any emotion to the audience.Finally, we arrive at what might be one of the worst-acted scenes in the entire movie: when Neville finds Trevor. When McGonagall first sees Neville, she completely breaks character. We’re led to believe she’s shocked or disappointed but no, it feels more like Maggie Smith breaking character out of frustration at having to co-star with such a weak actor.Are there any other actors in Harry Potter whose mere presence undermines the world-building? No, I don’t think so.
why wasn't he blond?
>>214533680indeed this whole scene should have been replaced by Percy, and the trevor incident should have been replaced by skeeter the rat trying to hide from McGonagall foreshadowing future event ; when they find out that she can turn to cat the kids assume thats why he was so scared, but in book 3 we finaly realize its because he didnt want to be spotted by his older teacher. but nooo, we have to care about trevor, a frog with no use in the story outside of threats from snape that he will force trevor to drink neville's potion.
>>2145336804this is like the fourth Neville thread I've seen. Making me think this is an ai bot data gathering for the show
>Are there any other actors in Harry Potter whose mere presence undermines the world-building?Out of the main five, why did they omit Gary?
>>214533680Potter books are dumb kids’ stories. There’s no lore, no worldbuilding, no consistency. One book has time travel, another ignores it, and spells work differently whenever the plot needs them to.
>>214533680Which movie are you even talking about? I get its one of the harry potter movies but which one?>Maggie Smith breaking character out of frustration at having to co-star with such a weak actor.Pretty unprofessional of her if this is true lmao.Women, amiright?
Reminder that its a genuine jeet janitor that protects all this spamIf you check out the wiki about the April hack and go to the janitor list and look for "arsonak45", you'll see the three boards he does it for free for and /tv/ is one of themIf you read more about him you can see that he uses the same username for reddit too.If you google "arsonak45 reddit" you'll get a ton of results relating to the boards hes in charge ofThe highest amount of posts he has is on reddits Harry Potter forum
>>214533761this is a thread about how Matthew Lewis poor acting skill opened a worm can filled with plot holes, Neville isn't a true character, he doesn't make sense and shouldn't exist. he was created as a joke, a comic relief, thats all he is and should be removed from the story. his few plot part should be given to Dean Thomas who happens to be better looking and also a very talent child actor. i understand sirius black is filled with plot hole, i mean the ministry could have send a owl to find him or ask a house-elf (dobby was able to find harry potter with 0 clue in book 2)
>>214533806its hard to blame her, imagine you get to be casted on the world-famous harry potter series, and you have to act in a scene with matthew lewis. she did better than i would ever dream to do myself
>>214533831terribly sorry. i have deleted my off-topic post about Sirius Black and his relationships/possessions/place in the timeline. my apologies for derailing your Matthew Lewis thread. i'll understand if i get banned.
>>214533948i really hate sirius black tho, but not the actor, only the character, i dont think sirius is a character that make much sense, especially his relation to harry. harry and sirius are basically strangers and im supposed to believe they care that much about each other becasue of james? this is very very stretch. the only arguments that make sense is that sirius is mentally stumbled because he was locked in jail for so long, but harry ?? arthur is much more a father figure than sirius. i
>>214533807i work hard on my thread, i intent to comment EVERY neville scene until last movie, im glad you save all my hard work, we could send it the matthew lewis after maybe?
Can't tell whether OP is Indian, a zoomer shitposter, or a teenage girl from Tumblr.
>>214533680I think it misses the bigger picture. Sure, early Neville is clumsy and awkward, but that's entirely intentional. He's written and portrayed as someone who doesn't quite fit in at first, which makes his eventual growth into a courageous, competent wizard one of the most satisfying arcs in the series.
>>214533680it’s interesting to criticize Matthew Lewis performance when by the end of the films, he delivers one of the most iconic moments in Deathly Hallows Part 2 the speech to Voldemort, the sword of Gryffindor, and his final stand. Not exactly what you'd expect from someone dismissed as comic relief.>>214534586Also, Matthew Lewis is an absolute legend and the perfect choice for Neville Longbottom. The way he took a character who starts off awkward and insecure and transformed him into one of the most courageous, lovable, and complex figures in the entire series is nothing short of amazing. What’s so impressive is how Matthew brought such depth to Neville, turning what could have been a simple comic relief role into someone whose personal growth resonates with so many fans.
>>214534633>Matthew Lewis is an absolute legend seems like a nice lad. every year he does these charity cricket match streams with Tom Felton and a few of the other actors:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvDw4VKV0w0(missed the one three weeks ago, fug)
>>214533730LOTR wasnt a children's story
>>214534633Matthew Lewis is actually a pretty decent actor when you see him in other things.
>>214535827The hobbit was, doofus
>>214535827>>214536264Both were
>>214536042BBC written all over his head because that how he get role, the right guy is hot tho i will give you that, but i bet he had to ask for bonus in order to do that scene, it also make it unrealistic becasue such a hot boy wouldnt want to do anything with a fake fraud like matthew lewis, i also bet he did that for free because the actor is lying piece of shit full of himself who revision his past to make himself look better
>>214537124Everyone has their own journey to success, and Matthew Lewis has worked incredibly hard to get where he is today. It's always great to see actors challenge themselves and take on different roles. As for the scene you're mentioning, actors, regardless of how they look, bring their own unique charm and skill to their characters.
It's well beyond Neville Longbottom and Matthew Lewis. 'Longbottom' describes my ass even sitting to watch just one of these movies. 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.
What a weird vendetta to have opDid Neville fuck your girl or smth
What's going on here?accio hermione's panties
>>214538180Matthew lewis cant act at all, the only thing he can do is be the bottom of joke, 0 acting skill, can only be used a comic relief (to laugh at him), find me a scene in 3 first movie where he isnt simply a big chungus
>>214533680Neville might have started off as a shy, awkward kid, but by the end of the series, he shows serious bravery. He was the one who stood up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione in "The Philosopher's Stone" when they were breaking rules, proving that even as a first year, Neville had the courage to stand up for what he believed was right. Also, very close to Hermionne, he was the 2nd best wizard in his class
>>214539513Neville is my favorite character and he also gets the best girl
>>214540008Hannah?
>>214539513Wasn't there some video where a guy explained how he was actually the real "chosen one"?
>>214540008its funny how hard they tried to ship luna and neville until jk rowling finally admited that luna was too good for neville>>214540060that was fan service in order to prevent neville to become a incel, in truth Hannah should be with Ernest Macmillan or Justin Finch-Fletchley. there is 0 narrative reason for her to end up with neville, whom she never interacted with. Neville was supposed to be Ginny' love interest (but she still end up with Dean Thomas after rejecting Neville), but JK rowling decided to not ship hermionne and harry and that fucked everything
>>214540284>decided not to ship Harry and HermioneHonestly fuck her for this, their chemistry was so much better
>>214533730Tolkien didnt create his work from zero.Its more like a compilation of things like the bible,nordic lore,fairy tales,and such.
>>214540248no no no, thats a retardneville cant be the chosen one, in order to be the chosen one you need to be marked as equal by voldemort. Lily was able to perform a sacrificial love spell because snape begged voldemort to spare her, and voldemort asked lily to move twice before trying to kill harry. if voldemort attack the longbottoms, there is no sacrifial love spell because voldemort dont spare anyone because none of them have a special connection to dead eater. The two chosen one is narrative sink hole that has no fruits, it can only be harry, never neville, and those who say otherwise dont understand the prophecy in the first time. Yes Snape fucked everything for Voldemort
>>214540326thats also of her biggest regret, she even admit it make more sense for hermionne/harry than ron/hermione, but still they had a hate-love relation so its not like it came out of nowhere
>>214540284>JK rowling decided to not ship hermionne and harrybased
>>214540389Her and Harry were still a much better couple, shame she had to settle for ron
>>214540648enough, kloves
