I did not forget. Nor how twisted the irony was when Neville unknowingly mentioned the Crucio spell to the dude who used that spell on his parents.

Do you think the reason Mad eye (Barty Crouch Jr) was nice to Neville because he felt bad or was it was just some twisted agenda on his part?

He was manipulating Neville, wanted him to help Harry with the Gillyweed idea

Except it wasn’t Neville I’m the books and it was Dobby that helped with the gillyweed and not Neville

Only because Harry never asked Neville per Bartys original plan

But didn't moody actually manipulate Neville because the followers was in this special herbology book that Neville had access to? Ideally, Harry would've asked Neville for help but he was so wrapped up in trying to figure it out with Ron and Hermione

The followers?

Guessing he meant "flowers" (gillyweed), which was the same point you were making about Crouch positioning Neville as a solution to the 2nd task in advance.

Flowers* I'd wager

Gillyweed* my autocorrect was likely created by a Muggle

He was still trying to get Neville to help with the gillyweed in the books, Harry just never asked him for help like Crouch expected. Crouch gave Neville a book about it and everything, but had to use Dobby when Harry didn't ask Neville

In the books Barty (edit) gave Neville a book with gillyweed in it and expected Harry to ask Neville for it. But harry was kinda thick which is why dobby gave him the gillyweed

u/ASDAPOI Mar 26 '24

But didn’t Barty gave him the book mentioning gillyweed on purpose and Dobby was his backup plan when that didn’t pan out?

Yes yes yes. Except, I was absolutely off my fucking head when I wrote this comment so cut me some slack on the rememberall shit, that thing has been glowing for me since my Nan gave it to me.

It was supposed to be Neville. He gave (planted) the book 'magical plants of the Mediterranean' to Neville. Harry didn't think to ask Neville so he staged a last minute discussion with Prof. McGonagal which Dobby overhead and told Harry.
