!!Spoiler!!How Neville got the sword of Gryffindor.

I searched for any other threads on this and couldn't find any.
After i read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the second time it hit me. BAM!!!
Neville killed Nagini with the sword of Gryffindor but i thought that Griphook had run off with the sword after Harry,Ron and Hermoine had stolen Helga Hufflepuff's cup from Bellatrix's vault. So how did Neville get the sword. Did anyone else notice or did i miss something?

That was the one thing I wondered after I read it too.

The title of the thread is a spoiler in itself. You may have just caused people endless misery by spoiling a key detail in the final book in a landmark series. Go you.

oops! sorry sorry sorry!

Yeah, let's say spoiler, then spoil it anyway. 😐

Anyway, I think the hat sort of summons the sword or something.

I thought the Hat made an appearance?

Nevile got it out the hat because he was a true Griffindor. Like harry did in #2, it's not a great mystery.

I think what potterz honey means is, "How did Neville get the sword even though Griphook took it?", not, "How did Neville manage to get the sword out of the hat?"

meaning...they dont really know...

Meaning, it's not deep or anything, well, I highly doubt it is. I mean before Harry got the sword it wasn't in the hat or anything, it just magically appears in the hat when a true Griffindor needs it..

Statement: Neville was able to draw the sword from that hat because he opposed Voldemort in a situation that meant certain death.

Statement: One of the hallmarks of the Gryffindor group is bravery.

Conclusion: Neville was a "true heir" of Gryffindor.

Makes you wonder why Harry was so worried when Griphook stole the sword then, if all that had to happen was a true griffindor taking it out of a hat.

Maybe Bill knew Harry had Gryffindor's sword and switched it, and Griphook didn't bother to check if he had the real sword. Or perhaps the hat has a charm on it that makes the sword sort of like a portkey.

Oh dear.

so if it doesnt matter who has the sword or what they're doing with it Griphook could have been holding the sword up and admiring it and then suddenly it vanishes from his hand and appears in Neville's own?Hmmn...that would be weird.

Strange that Harry and chums didn't seem to realise that the Sword could return to them if they were in need of chivalric deeds.
