Longbottom is the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. They are related to the Black and Abbott families, and more distantly to the Weasley , Crouch and Potter families[2].

Most Longbottoms do not appear to hold prejudice based on blood purity, although there are indications that they are considered more respectable than the Weasleys. For example, Callidora Black was not disowned by her family for marrying Harfang Longbottom[2], implying that he was not considered a blood traitor. Their respectability may also stem from both Frank and Alice's popularity as highly accomplished Aurors. The last few generations of the Longbottom family, however, had strong connections to the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army, clearly opposing notions of pure-blood supremacy[3][4].

Etymology

Longbottoms

Alice and Frank Longbottom.

  • Longbottom, in addition to being a compound word, means "long valley". It is also the name of a region of the Shire and used for describing a leaf of pipe-weeds in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
  • The name itself is considered quite humorous, but "bottom" is an old word for "staying power." This seems to accurately fit Neville's personality and overall devotion to Harry.
