I remember what it was I wanted to point out now.

I don't know if it was even in the book or not but GODDAMN YES they really got it right.

Neville killed Voldemort. He was the one to do it.

The prophecy originally was very vague - the one to kill Voldemort would be:

a, born at a certain time and of a certain age and various other things
- - therefore could either be Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom
b, chosen by himself

By not going after Neville, he made Neville into the underdog. He felt he had to prove himself, and so finding the sword of Godrick he went after Nagini and finished the job.

The prophecy never said Harry Potter by name, and indeed Harry was not the one the prophecy spoke of in the end.

It really made it look like they'd thought it through even if it was just a coincidence.

Oh my god I could have came when I realised what they'd done with that.

Did I miss the obvious fact that NEVILLE killed Voldie? Wtf, I should've payed more attention...

I can't remember anything about the book except the origin story of the deathly hallows.
Haven't seen part 1 or 2 yet. I was planning to watch them together on dvd. Or maybe catch it on a tv marathon in a year or so.

technically he only killed a part of Voldy's SOUL (last Horcrux, after Harry) whereas Voldy killed himself when his Avada Kedavra rebounded (because the Elder Wand wouldn't kill its own master). but Neville was instrumental in Voldy's death, otherwise he would have simply lost power and gone back into his near-death state

Ah yes, I remember that. I just thought I missed a major plot twist in the final movie =\ But at the end of, I believe the fifth book, Dumbledore tells Harry that he can just ignore the prophecy altogether, however it is likely that it will become true because Voldemort attaches great value to it. Neville could be the killer of Voldemort, but random wizard #481 could be the killer as well.
