Congratulations, Lauren!!
On a more cheerful note, CONGRATULATIONS to LaurenC21 whose essay in "The Plot Thickens" was referenced by actor Matthew Lewis (Neville) during the Aug. 25th Mugglenet chat!
Here’s the transcript from that portion:
Question from Kelly
In the books, Neville is described continually as the "most forgetful boy" Harry's ever known--it comes up almost as often as the statement about Harry's mother's eyes. Other people in the books who are described as chronically forgetful (Bertha Jorkins for one) have been subjected to powerful memory charms. Do you think this is the case with Neville's past--possibly administered to forget the torture of his parents?
Matthew
Very interesting theory. I have thought about this myself after reading a book that was given to me by Mugglenet (thanks again btw). It mentioned this theory and it seemed quite plausible. It would make sense, his forgetfulness does fit as one of the symptoms of a memory charm, but I guess we will all have to wait and see, but it has definitely made me curious and I look forward to finding out in book 7
