Took a Level in Badass/Film: Difference between revisions

* While the film version of ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (film)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' hinted at the [[Badass]] that Neville Longbottom would become, itsit's only in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows]] - Part 2]]'' that we get to see his true nature. His [[Rousing Speech|speech to Voldemort]] [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|refusing the Dark Lord's offer of amnesty]] was as eloquently phrased a "Fuck You!" as any seen on film before.

** Heck, more than that, even. Neville went from being picked on by Malfoy (jelly-legs jinx, ring any bells?), to being wailed on by Cornish Pixies (albeit freshly caught), to supplying Harry with gillyweed (in the movie, not in the book), to {{spoiler|running Dumbledore's Army in Harry's absence, with Luna and Ginny. As in - he was running [[The Resistance]] within enemy walls, under scrutiny of Lord Voldemort's frigging lapdogs. If Umbridge was permitted to use corporal punishment, imagine what the DEATH''Death EATERSEaters'' did.}} The [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in ''Deathly Hallows - Part 2'' was just the icing of the cake.
