Who Did Luna and Neville Marry After Harry Potter? Shocking Secrets Revealed

by

The Harry Potter films had to shorten multiple storylines due to time constraints, and while there isn’t a romantic relationship between Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) and Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch) in the books, it’s worth noting that this romantic interest wasn’t present in the books either. Neville and Luna are among the six leaders of Dumbledore’s Army who venture to the Department of Mysteries at the end of the fifth film, and they subsequently become the unofficial silver trio alongside Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), after Harry Potter’s golden trio.

In the Harry Potter books, there’s no hint that Neville and Luna are anything more than close friends. However, during the climactic moments of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, with adrenaline pumping, Neville (Matthew Lewis) admits to Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Ginny that he harbors feelings for Luna. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Luna is depicted sitting beside Neville, playfully suggesting they might become a couple in the future. However, further exploration of the Harry Potter universe through pottermore.com post-book series revealed that both Neville and Luna got married to other characters within the storyline.

In the final Harry Potter book, Luna is completing her sixth year. She has only one more year left before graduation. Upon leaving Hogwarts, she chose a career as a Magizoologist, dedicating herself to studying and nurturing magical beasts. For a while, she also served as a professor at Hogwarts, being among the pioneers who taught the Field Studies class. This unique course allows students to venture out from the school to observe and engage with magical creatures in their natural habitats.

In her private life, Luna tied the knot with another Magizoologist named Rolf Scamander, a grandson of the character Newt Scamander from the ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ films (portrayed by Eddie Redmayne). Notably, they both shared the same profession as Newt, who authored the textbook that they might have used at Hogwarts. Interestingly, Porpentina “Tina” Goldstein, Newt’s wife and Rolf’s grandmother, was an American auror.

It is said that Luna wore a vibrant rainbow and sparkling ensemble, complete with a unicorn horn tiara, to her wedding – an outfit that was deemed “The Most Unconventional Wedding Attire of the Year” by Rita Skeeter’s readers. Luna and Rolf welcomed twin boys named Lorcan and Lysander into their family. The Potters chose to name their daughter and youngest child Lily Luna, in honor of Luna.

Neville Marries A Notable Background Character

Subsequently, following his graduation, Neville assumed the role of Herbology professor at Hogwarts, taking over from Professor Sprout. Additionally, he took on the position of Head of Gryffindor House, with Professor McGonagall moving up to become the headmistress of the school. Neville also holds a special place in the family as the godfather of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley’s second son, Albus. Despite not having children of his own, Neville married Hannah Abbott, a character from the “Harry Potter” series who studied at Hogwarts alongside the main trio and Neville himself.

At Hogwarts, Hannah belongs to the House of Hufflepuff, is part of Dumbledore’s Army, and participates in the Battle of Hogwarts. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it’s hinted that she was taken out of class due to her mother being tragically killed by Death Eaters. Following their school years, Hannah and Neville resided at the Leaky Cauldron, with Hannah serving as its landlady. Later, she pursued a career in healing, expressing an inclination towards nursing duties within Hogwarts.

In the movie adaptation of Harry Potter, it’s plausible that Neville and Luna lived similarly fulfilling lives, despite their shared interest at age 17 not necessarily leading to marriage. The series often depicts this pattern with its characters, as many find it difficult to form new relationships after experiencing so much together. However, both Neville and Luna found love later on with intriguing secondary characters, although these relationships were not extensively developed in the story.
