British students correlate the N.E.W.T.s with their own A-levels which, though less exactly as that with Ordinary Wizarding Level s (O.W.L.s), occur at the same age. American students, on the other hand, equate them to their Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses.

Like O.W.L.s, N.E.W.T.s are graded on the following scale: (With Muggle student equivalents in parentheseses)

''Passing grades''
  • O for ''Outstanding'' (A-levels A; AP 5/IB 7)

  • E for ''Exceeds Expectations'' (A-levels B; AP 4/IB 5/6)

  • A for ''Acceptable'' (A-levels C; AP 3/IB 4)


''Failing grades''
  • P for ''Poor'' (A-levels D; AP 2/IB 3)

  • D for ''Dreadful'' (A-levels E; AP 1/IB 2)

  • T for ''Troll'' (A-levels U; AP 1/IB 1)


Most students take around three or four advanced N.E.W.T. classes. However, exceptional students go beyond this: Percy took twelve N.E.W.T.s, and Hermione Granger took seven. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley each took five.

Some of the references to N.E.W.T.s in the series include:

  • Percy Weasley does excellently on his N.E.W.T.s and quickly lands a very high-placed job in the Ministry of Magic.

  • In Chapter 29 of '' Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix '', Harry Potter (at the time preparing for his O.W.L.s), consults with Professor McGonagall about career possibilities. He wants to be an Auror , and she informs him that the Ministry of Magic expects Auror applicants to have achieved "Exceeds Expectations" in at least five N.E.W.T.s. She recommends that he enroll in the N.E.W.T.-level classes in Defence Against The Dark Arts , Transfiguration , Herbology , Charms , and Potions .

  • In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Harry says he is not expecting to return to Hogwarts for his seventh year, if this indeed happens then he will not be able to take his NEWT's, this is presuming the school even reopens.

  • There are only twelve students in Harry's N.E.W.T. Potions class:

  • ---Harry Potter

  • ---Hermione Granger

  • ---Ron Weasley

  • ---Ernie Macmillan

  • ---Draco Malfoy

  • ---Blaise Zabini

  • ---Theodore Nott
