Don’t sleep on Neville Longbottom. He’s the kid who loses his toad and forgets passwords, but he has more courage than any Gryffindor. Remember when he stands up to his friends to stop them from breaking rules? That’s a small act that feels huge.
And Professor Quirrell? The guy who stutters and smells of garlic? He’s literally Voldemort’s roommate. It’s a plot twist so silly it’s brilliant. Even the sidekicks in this story have depth—like a bag of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans where even the gross ones taste interesting.
