>Harry Potter is my favorite franchise and I consider it almost a masterpiece, sadly JK Rowling didn’t revision her draft and decided to release it without improving it, leaving us the reader, a world filled with plot hole that ruin the atmosphere and setting. One of thosehole is the rememberball. Neville receives from his grandmother just before his first flying lesson. The ball warns its owner when they forget something by turning itself red. At first we don’t think much about it but in truth this item saved Neville life.When we are first introduced to it, Neville is in the mess hall surrounded by the other students showing them his ball turning red, mentioning that the problem is that he doesn’t remember what he forgot(what comic relief). We, the smart viewers, can realize that Neville is the only student not wearing his robe, giving us some hope that he might he punished or at best expelled. In the following scene, we get to the flying broom lesson in which we can see that Neville finally remembered that he forgot his robe. Sadly, that robe saved him from his fall which would not have happened if he didn’t have the broken overpowered rememberball which is NEVER used or referenced ever again in the whole franchise. Such an item don’t seem to belong to the wizarding world and looks to me like an element that was added AFTER the story was already written. I believe that JK Rowling wanted to let Neville Longbottom fall to his dead, letting Harry know about the danger in Hogwarts, Neville was supposed to be the first victim in Hogwart. I suspect that the editor was a Neville and forced Rowling to re-write her story which she did. That is why Neville play such a small part in the next movies. Perhaps if Jk Rowling didn’t fold, we wouldn’t have to endure Matthew Lewis horrible acting in the following movies. Also, fun fact, he isn’t wearing fake teeth, fat suit or fake ears in the first movie. His character look exactly like his childhood actor picture
