The Neville Effect

The phenomenon whereby an awkward, unattractive, often pudgy-looking child grows up to be unbelievably hot.
The first observed case of The Neville Effect, and therefore the boy after whom the effect is named, Neville Longbottom (from the extraordinary Harry Potter series) is the typical example of this phenomenon. He looks a bit awkward and chubby when he is younger, but in a miraculous series of events, grows up to become a badass sex god. Other notable cases include Josh from Drake and Josh.

Roberto Nevilis made this world so damn painful for inventing homework that stupid teachers should know that nobody is gonna do that shit! Damn sleeping on rusty spikes seems way less painful!

Neville Longbottomed 

When a non-attractive person goes through puberty and becomes very attractive as a result.

First seen on Tumblr and Imgur, this term refers to Matthew Lewis's battle and victory over puberty.
"Have you seen Lisa since grade school?"
"No I have not, she really Neville Longbottomed. Damn."

"I was staying at my friend's house when her brother who I haven't seen in years walks in to say hello. I was in shock, as he Neville Longbottomed."

Neville up 

To become ridiculously more attractive than one's former self, primarily, but not exclusively, as a result of puberty. A pun on 'level up', referencing the unexpected transformation of Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis).
"Did you see what that kid from ET looks like now?"

"Yeah bro, I didn't expect him to Neville up like that."
