	Neville's role in the prophecy in ''Order of the Phoenix'' is frequently referred to in a hypothetical scenario where Neville was the Chosen One rather than Harry. It is often suggested that Voldemort chose Harry over Neville because of Harry's half-blood status. In the end, both were essential to Voldemort's downfall, fulfilling the possibility that both Harry and Neville were, in fact, the Chosen One. While Harry delivered the final blow to destroy Voldemort, Neville destroyed the final Horcrux which allowed Harry to end Voldemort.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/analysing-tom-riddles-choices \|title=Analysing Tom Riddle's choices \|date=2018-05-07 \|website=Wizarding World \|language=en \|access-date=2020-07-16}}</ref> When asked about whether or not Neville was the chosen one, Neville's portrayer Matthew Lewis stated, "I get asked about the prophecy an awful lot, and Neville's potential as 'The Chosen One'. The contrast between the two people is that Harry was the reluctant hero who never wanted that on his shoulders and whatnot, but he just felt like he had to do it. Whereas Neville was kind of the hero that no one expected to be a hero, but still came out the other side being exactly that. Could Neville have been the Chosen One? Could he have achieved what Harry did? I think yeah, absolutely. But the thing is: nobody in this series did anything on their own. Even Voldemort didn't get to his level of power on his own. Harry saved the day because he had friends and people who loved him. I think, had it been Neville he would have had a similar experience. Both the characters are incredibly and fiercely loyal and that breeds loyalty in other people. So I think Neville would've had plenty of people getting his back, Harry would've been there in Neville's role getting his back. So I think, yeah, he'd have pulled through in the end."<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.wizardingworld.com/news/matthew-lewis-on-if-neville-longbottom-was-the-chosen-one \|title=Matthew Lewis on if Neville Longbottom was the Chosen One \|date=2017-10-29 \|website=Wizarding World \|language=en \|access-date=2020-07-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=https://screenrant.com/harry-potter-neville-longbottom-chosen-one/ \|title=Harry Potter: 10 Times Neville Proved He Could Have Been The Chosen One \|date=2020-03-22 \|website=ScreenRant \|last=Maloof \|first=Rebecca \|language=en \|access-date=2020-07-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=https://mashable.com/2015/05/21/neville-longbottom-chosen-one/ \|title=7 reasons Neville Longbottom should have been the Chosen One \|date=2015-05-22 \|website=Mashable \|last=Vitto \|first=Laura \|language=en \|access-date=2020-07-16}}</ref>

	==Family==
	Neville is a [[pure-blood (Harry Potter)\|pure-blood]] wizard born to Frank and Alice Longbottom, who were prominent [[Auror]]s and also members of the [[Order of the Phoenix (organisation)\|Order of the Phoenix]] during the first war against [[Lord Voldemort]]. It is stated by Dumbledore that both of them had "thrice defied" Voldemort by 1981. Their success, however, was cut short, as Frank and Alice were tortured to the point of [[insanity]] with the [[Cruciatus Curse]] by a group of Death Eaters consisting of [[Barty Crouch, Jr.]], [[Bellatrix Lestrange]], her husband Rodolphus, and his brother Rabastan. The torture of the Longbottoms is remembered by the Order as one of the most horrific crimes committed by Voldemort's followers. Since then, Frank and Alice reside in a closed ward of [[St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries]]. Neville visits Frank and Alice over the holidays, but neither of them recognise him as their son.

	Augusta Longbottom, Neville's paternal grandmother, raised him from a young age. Early on, it is established that Neville is terrified of his grandmother, who is a very strict disciplinarian, a perfectionist, and a no-nonsense witch, especially towards Neville, and sometimes complains of his lack of talent. She appears to want Neville to follow his father's example, regardless of his desires or suitability. ''Deathly Hallows'' is a definite turning point for the relation between Augusta and her grandson. Towards the climax of the book, it is revealed that the Death Eaters targeted Augusta when Neville was acting as leader of the reformed Dumbledore's Army. The Ministry official [[John Dawlish\|Dawlish]] is sent to arrest her but does not succeed and winds up in hospital when she apparently fights back before going on the run. Augusta also arrives to the Battle of Hogwarts to assist her grandson. When Harry tells her that Neville is fighting Death Eaters, she replies, "Naturally." Bolstered by Neville's leadership of the D.A. during his seventh year at Hogwarts, Augusta ultimately becomes extremely proud of him.
