Najwa:

Excellent theory Jo! I do think that Neville and his plants should be
useful in the last book, his Herbology talents haven't really helped
much at all in the series, and as "the boy who lived" prospect, he
needs to help somehow I think. I do hope this next book will be the
longest, because I feel she has a lot to elaborate on.
