THE SCENE: The Longbottom Estate. The LONGBOTTOM family react with 
joy to GREAT-UNCLE ALGIE's discovery of Neville's hitherto hidden 
magical abilities.

UNCLE ALGIE
See the way he bounced down the road
Now I can go buy him a toad
For he has come out ahead
A wizard he, instead 
Of Special Ed

GRAN LONGBOTTOM 
You once pushed him off of a pier
Not a trace of magic appeared

LONGBOTTOM FAMILY
Wizard powers, he had none
Could not do things we've always done
And because of that we'd say:

ALL
That's just Neville and he'll never ever be any good
That's just Neville and he'll never ever be Ollie Wood

UNCLE ALGIE
But just because he doesn't do what everybody else does 
That's no reason why I can't give him a good shove
Though he isn't a bright boy, now he fills his Gran with joy

ALGIE & GRAN
Don't give up Neville, no no no
Don't give up Neville, no no no, no way

(During the Instrumental bridge, an owl flies in bearing Neville's 
letter of acceptance to Hogwarts)

GRAN
Neville's really on a roll, this letter says that he's enrolled
We'll be going right to King's Cross, it's foretold

LONGBOTTOM FAMILY
He's our Neville and he'll maybe even be pretty fair
He's our Neville even if his little head's filled with air
And maybe he'll with Trevor learn what everybody recalls
Just in case we'll send him a Rememberall
He will study magically, maybe even earn a "C"
Don't give up Neville, no no no
Don't give up Neville, no no no. no way

(ALGIE & GRAN) & LONGBOTTOM FAMILY
(Don't give up Neville), no no no
(Don't give up Neville), no no no
(Don't give up Neville), no no no
(Don't give up Neville), no no no

lines)
