How did Neville get the sword of Gryffindor for the final battle?
From the sorting hat.
I'm not sure about Neville/Hannah
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From the sorting hat.
Voldemort puts the sorting hat on Neville and lights it on fire. But Voldemort's spell freezing Neville isn't strong (and the sword drops rather painfully on top of Neville's noggin). Then Neville takes the sword and does Heroic Things.

How do we know that Neville married Hannah Abbot?
Post-textual interview with JKR. She noted that Neville find Luna a little scary. She winds up marrying somebody who wasn't in the books - another fan of exotic creatures.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Ah, ok. I can buy the sorting hat magically bestowing the sword. I bet Griphook was seriously pissed off.

Especially since it had already pulled that trick in getting the sword to Harry in Chamber of Secrets.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I don't know if I like authors telling you in an interview stuff about the characters that was not in their texts. My highly entitled impulse is that if they want to tell stuff that is not their existing works, write some more damn stories... And I'd be curious to see JKR tackle the short story form anyway,

Is it the sword or the phoenix that arrives when you show great allegiance to Dumbledore?

Also, GRRM responds to the response to the NYT review of Game of Thrones:
I am not going to get into it myself, except to say
1) if I am writing "boy fiction," who are all those boys with breasts who keep turning up by the hundreds at my signings and readings?
and
(2) thank you, geek girls! I love you all.
