Is Neville Longbottom the most English of Englishmen?
I was just thinking, that yes, he probably is.
He’s not too much of anything; he’s not perfect, not crude, not super smart, not too chipper, not too good looking. He’s man-of-the-people for the side of good, pureblood enough for the bad. He is Mr Better Than Average Who Has Done Better Than Good, which is probably the most appropriate symbol we could want without strapping on some skis when we can’t ski
So who is the most English of Englishmen for you?
