Neville Longbottom

To get significantly more attractive after going through the process of puberty.

Origin stems from Harry Potter, where the character Neville Longbottom (actor: Matthew Lewis) went from a dumpling shaped (but very sweet) 11 year-old to a daaaamn fine (and still very sweet) 25 year-old today.

The word was popularised by tumblr usage as both a noun and a verb.
Me looking in the mirror: I'd better Neville Longbottom by the time I get to uni, or I'm going to die alone. :/
Person returning home from uni: Is that...? Is that Susan?! Well she certainly Neville Longbottomed.
Person referring to their boyfriend: Nah, I'm not gonna break up with him. Yeah he's kinda pudgy, bit fingers crossed he'll do a Neville Longbottom!

Coined in the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" by Harvey Dent, A.k.a. Two-Face.

It is the philisophical summary that, no matter what good you intend to do, as long as you live and continue, you will bring about just as much evil as good, if not more through accident or intent. Death becomes a saving grace, providing vindication for their actions and preventing a worsening of certain outcomes through inactivity.
Examples include:
Falling to the same corrupton you sought to eliminate. ( Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars, Lois Griffin from Family Guy)
Prolonged exposure to evil, despite good intentions. (Frodo from Lord of the Rings, Ice King from Adventure Time)
Narrow minded destruction in belief of a greater goal. (Harvey Dent from "The Dark Knight Rises")
