So who will get Bellatrix? v2

[Lilkittikat]

I don't think that Neville will kill her (at least, not on purpose). Neville is not a killer. I think that she will die in a battle, maybe bye a curse that bounces off someone else or something.

Thank you. I don't think he would want to if he really got the chance. Even if he did, I highly doubt he'd be able to. You have to want to cause pain to cast Unforgivables (or at least, Bella tells Harry so) and Neville doesn't want to cause pain. If anything, he wants his parents back, and killing Bellatrix won't bring them back.

I also agree with chparadise that Bellatrix is one of the more powerful Death Eaters, and Neville was one of the less powerful DA members.

I have to believe that Neville will finish her off. He will have his day, he has been built up to much in all the books to finish off being a less then talented wizard. He is going to find the strengh from some where to finish her off. I do however agree he wont use a unforgivable curse to do it. If any one deserves to go thru the vail can we say Bellatrix. An eye for an eye and just the sort of genius we can excpect from JK herself.

I definately think Neville will kill Bellatrix.

Neville Longbottom....he's always been the peaceful character.i think now it's time for Jo to let us see his dark,avengence or revenge side.She tortured her parents.Neville might be afraid of her and was equally angry at her in the Department of Mysteries.
I feel he'll die in the process.

Voldemort. Accidentally. A spell by his wand bounces off a shiny surface and zaps her. I hope.

Neville has a score to settle with Bellatrix. I see it almost like Harry having a score to settle with Lord Voldemort. Bellatrix got Neville's parents, made it so that they aren't there to give him love, and Neville is going to go after her like Harry goes after Voldemort. Come to think of it, Neville will probably accompany Harry on the journey in part because he knows that where Voldemort is, Bella will be.

And of course, if Neville fails (I hope not!), Voldemort will get Bellatrix. She's on her way out of favor, and I think she knows it.

I hope and pray that Neville kills Bellatrix. I think its time for little Neville to have some glory of his own. I hope that his parents will be healed in this book, he deserves something good to happen to him for a change.

[Gracezilla06]

Neville. Definetely.

[AL_Patterson]

Neville won't kill her, but cause her death. Blast her into devil's snare or some kind of monster or something like that.

Oh...that sounds a lot more likely. Like when Neville disarms Harry at the first D.A. meeting--he shouts "I did it!" and Harry decides not to point out that the enemy is not likely to be staring in the opposite direction with his wand held loosely at his side. Perhaps Neville will just catch Bellatrix off-guard.

But some would say that causing someone's death is the same as actually killing them. So, Neville will still kill Bella, even if it's just by doing something that causes her to die.

I can't help but agree that Neville wil not be branded as a murderer. I think Voldemort will kill her for not being loyal enough - which would be the most devestating thing that could happen to her.

Of course, I hope Neville kicks her butt first. It has to be Neville, but I would also dearly love to see her taken down by a really powerful witch. How awesome would it be if Hermione battled her and won?

[AL_Patterson]

Yeah, my second choice is Voldie killing her for doing something wrong.

If anyone gets Bella, it's likely to happen in the course of battle. Or she'd be captured (not likely, she seems the die fightning type now). Since none of the order - no matter who has a bone to pick with her, and the list is long and distinguished - will be the type to pursue her for revenge's sake, it seems to me that Lupin is just as likely to kill Bella and Neville kill Greyback as the other way around.
The "wrench in the works", so to say, is that the DE's may seek out vendettas or the like. Bella could try to flush Neville out, therefore forcing a confrontation. It's in that sense that I think that Neville might get his crack at her. But, since her dueling skills are very, very good...Neville better bring backup. He can't take her alone now, and he could improve a lot (he already has, too) and still not be at her level. Remember, she alone escaped the MoM among the DE's that were at the MoM. And she beat Sirius, Kingsley, etc (see my previous post for my take on her dueling skills).

I'm really pulling for Neville. I hope he kills Bellatrix. It would be some sort of vindication for what she did to him and his Parents and in some way Sirius Black. Her death would bring some sort of peace to him. It would also prove he's stronger than he thinks. If he's able to stand up to her without wimpering, he can do anything. Plus it would look so good on Bellatrix to get blasted into oblivion by the person/Child she belittled and terrified.

If Voldemort was to kill her for messing something up, I'd feel cheated. It would be too easy. He can kill any Death Eater and it would be "yeah, okey dokey, yet another one bites the dust--whoopee, what-ever who's next?". It would have that "Heck YEAH. Alright Neville Kick some ***! whooo hooo!" I want to see her go down in a "Blaze of Glory" so to speak. Meaning, I want her to be killed AFTER she's mocked and belittled Neville. I WANT him to get so mad that he FINALLY stands up for himself and say "ENOUGH! I'm not afraid of you any more!" I want Bellatrix to have THAT look of shock and terror that Sirius had in OOTP just before he died. I want her to get that look realizing someone smaller (in that they don't have the "guts" she has and therefor are seen as being "small" in her eyes), younger, weaker DEFEATED her. I want her to get that "Damn!! I've been beaten by a Pre-Schooler" expression when she realizes that her arrogance COST her big time!!!
She's the Bully you want to see be put in her place by the very person she's tormented for years. Normally you don't condone violence, but you cheer on the kid who's been tormented for FINALLY summoning the courage to stand up to her and send her away with her tail between her legs.

[weasley_75]

hi im new at this but I think that Neville might help Harry killa Bellitrix but im not sure that he will kill her on his own.

[BathildaBagshot]

I think if just one person gets her, it will be Sirius - yes, he is alive! Because they're cousins it would be a cool emotional moment.

You're not the only one hoping for that. gosh I can't wait...

Oh yes, let's not forget that Neville is good at something. He is very adept at Herbology. Perhaps this will help him in the "real world", which means help him defeat Death Eaters, which means help him defeat Bellatrix....yes, I can definitely see that happening.
