Which Hogwarts student starts out as a mild-mannered herbology fan and ends up slaying Voldemort's snake Nagini — the final horcrux — with Godric Gryffindor's sword?

The Sorting Hat originally wanted to stick Neville Longbottom in Hufflepuff. While that wouldn't have been a huge mistake, its choice to put him in Gryffindor with Hogwarts' bravest is the right one. Over the course of his seven years at the wizarding school, Neville grows from a sheepish plant prodigy into a confident young hero.
