Professor McGonagall
A classmate of Harry’s and another first year student in Gryffindor. Neville is often portrayed as nervous, inept, or cowardly. Over the course of the book, he loses his beloved pet toad, he falls off his broom immediately during flying lessons and breaks his wrist, he makes an error during potions class and ends up with inflamed boils all over his skin, and he is picked on endlessly by Draco Malfoy. But over the course of the story, Neville relies on Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s friendship in order to give him the confidence to stand up to Malfoy and to feel like he belongs in Gryffindor.
