Algie Longbottom (fl. 1991–1995) was a wizard. He was the uncle of Frank Longbottom and the great-uncle of Neville Longbottom.[1]
Biography
Algie was born into the Longbottom family,[1] an old British pure-blood family considered to be one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.[2] He had one known sibling, a brother,[1] and may have had others.[3]
The Longbottom family initially believed that Algie’s great-nephew Neville might have been a Squib, but Algie was determined to catch Neville off his guard and "force some magic" from him. He once pushed Neville off the end of Blackpool pier; however, he nearly drowned. While over for tea one time when Neville was eight, Algie hung him out of an upstairs window by his ankles, and accidentally dropped him when he was offered a meringue by his wife Enid. Instead of getting hurt, Neville bounced safely down the garden and out into the road, thereby proving that he was in fact a wizard. They were all very happy and Neville’s grandmother Augusta Longbottom was crying.[4]
In 1991, Algie gave Neville his pet toad Trevor as a present for gaining entrance into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[4] In 1995, he travelled to Assyria and brought back a Mimbulus mimbletonia plant, which he gave to Neville for his birthday.[5]
