Neville was perfectly capable of doing great magic from the first book. He had a hand-me-down wand from his father. One of the teachers should have recognised he wasn't reaching his full potential with that wand and done something about it, just like Ron should have been given a wand that wasn't a danger to himself in the second book. Also his best subject, Herbology was where he got the most encouragement rather then other subjects where he was faced with either exasperation or full-on hostility like with Snape. I think we've all faced a teacher who's mere frustration with us not getting their subject was enough to make our confidence in our abilities nose-dive. Imagine facing that from every teacher and every subject. Hogwarts wasn't magical for Neville like it was for Harry, that's for sure.

If Neville wasn't happy at Hogwarts, why didn't he just break his wand and claim to be a squib then? He could have passed as one, and with his only talent being glorified gardening he could still have done the subject.

His Grandmother pushed on him to live up to the greatness of his parents and he didn't want to disappoint either her or his parents. He wanted to them proud, especially because his parents had given up their sanity to protect him. He couldn't just snap his wand and throw in the towel. Also, he was a teenager and fitting in and not being radically different from your peers does take importance in a lot of teenager's minds. He was probably scared that being a squib, which by the way wasn't exactly something celebrated in the wizarding world, would open him up to even more ridicule. The only squib Neville had seen around on a frequent basis was Filch and he was probably scared of ending up like him. So he decided to tough it out with school, even though he probably felt like he didn't belong there at all.

Have you read the books?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't read movie novelizations. I think merchandizing tie-ins like that are degrading to real fans.

[(Anonymous)]

you had me going for a while there. well played

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it is obvious to anyone that the novels aren't movie-merch tie-ins. They weren't written by Allan Dean Foster.
