Neville and Luna, together at last.
Do we buy it?
There's no suggestion that I can find in any of the novels that Neville and Luna are interested in each other. But in the eighth film, Neville tells the hero trio that he needs to find Luna because he's "mad about her" and wants her to know that before they all die in the battle with evil.
It seems kind of out of the blue to me. And I don't think it suits Neville's character at all.
Neville has always been a young man who has struggled to fit in, struggled to find confidence in himself, struggled to prove himself to his grandmother, to his classmates, to the world.
He's desperate to show that he is worthy of his parents, who were valued members of the Order of the Phoenix before they were tortured into madness by Bellatrix Lestrange.
So why would a boy who has for so long battled to be accepted as one of the team suddenly fall in love with a young woman who is so clearly different?
Neville's sudden expression of his love for Luna doesn't work for me in the film. I wonder why the filmmakers felt they needed to add it.
Ok,, in the fifth movie,, when they first meet luna and neville is sitting near her, he gets really nervous, and when she talks to him, he stirrs awkwardly
