Actually, it's Ron who's bumped Neville.  In the book he's in the 
hospital wing, and so it's just H&H who smuggle Norbert and get nailed 
for being out of bed.

So we have the Forbidden Forest without Neville, which probably means 
the caught-out-of-bed-at-midnight without Neville, and if the scream 
is in response to Fluffy, we have meeting-Fluffy without Neville.  
This stinks.  If I didn't know they'd cast Neville, I'd be worried 
they'd taken him out entirely.  I want more Neville!  Sniff!

I've been re-listening to PoA and one of the funniest scenes ever, 
IMO, has to be the first Divination class.  Harry on Ron's tealeaves: 
 "So you're going to suffer, but be very happy."  Ron on Harry's 
tealeaves:  "There's a blob a bit like a bowler hat.  Maybe you're 
going to work for the Ministry of Magic."  Even the serious lines are 
funny.  "When you've all finished deciding whether I'm going to die or 
not . . . "  And beforehand we get Sir Cadogan (and Trelawney's 
nameplate on the trapdoor--I love that little detail!), and afterward 
we get Prof. McGonagall giving Harry a break on his homework if he's 
dead.  ("Tell me, which of you is going to die this year?"  "Me!")

  "Blimey," said the other twin.  "Are you--?"
  "He *is*," said the first twin.  "Aren't you?" 
 he added to Harry.
  "What?" said Harry.
  "*Harry Potter*," chorused the twins.
  "Oh, him," said Harry.  "I mean, yes, I am."
