This thread is obviously related to "Writing Luna" - I just didn't want to leave Neville out. I've probably written Neville even less than I've written Luna, but I generally find him easier to manage. However, does anyone have any tips for writing him? Tricks you've worked out, etc?

I find a lot of myself in Neville (self doubt, etc) so I just kinda dig in there. If that doesn't do work for anyone else maybe watch the movies again? Catch his mannerisms. Especially in OOTP movie, the way he walks and all.

..hope that helped.

Once again, this works for any character but it's a brilliant worksheet all the same:

Choose which archetype the character is, then fill out the Quest, Fear, Dragon, etc. specifically for that character.

Oh, I've never used anything like that before. Nifty!

Also, this is something that's been on my mind since DH: how are you all going to be writing Neville now? Because you know, he grew a lot in this book... and I find it hard to imagine him being excessively shy anymore. It's a bit weird, really, since we know so much more about how Neville behaves and reacts as the shy, unsure kid, but I think DH!Neville is really his true personality (and it's DH!Neville who JKR could see with Luna.)
