On the next page you will find individual comments on each of the subjects.

Practical

Astronomy- Due to the shocking circumstances of the exam, each student has had their grade boosted by one level. Mr Potter did not complete his star chart, but the part done was accurate and mostly neat.

Care for Creatures- Mr Potter proved himself very capable, and showed a great respect towards the animals. It seemed that the entire class was up to a higher standard than is usually expected at OWL level. Perhaps they were introduced to more advanced animals.

Charms- Mr Potter did very well, with only one small mistake. Definitely a well deserved Outstanding Grade.

Defense against the Dark Arts- Obviously the Best in the Class, with flawless counter charms, curses, jinxes and hexes. Also performed amazingly with the patronus charm. Absolutely flawless. Could well teach the subject to his peers right now. Suggested job as a Teacher or an Auror.

Divination- Doesn't really seem to care about the subject at all, and obviously made up everything on the spot. It is suggested that Mr Potter drops the class as soon as possible.

Herbology- Apart from a slight bite was a flawless exam. Very good indeed, and Mr Potter would be good as an environmentalist.

Potions- A very good potion. Not flawless but a perfectly useable sample. A hard potion to make, but a very good try.

Transfiguration- Almost perfect. Very good, although there were a few oddities in the spells. Very good overall though.

Theory

Care of Magical Creatures- Seems to know his magical creatures very well.

Charms- Very good results. Can go into some detail on certain charms. Particularly good explanation on the summoning charm.

Defense against the Dark Arts- Amazing knowledge on the subject. Would be a good teacher.

Divination- Mr Potter has a sufficient knowledge on the subject to scrape an Average grade.

Herbology- Mr Potter knows a lot about plants, especially Devil's Snare!

Potions- A very good paper. Has obviously been pushed in this subject. Almost enough for an Outstanding grade, but more explanation needed.

Transfiguration- A very good paper. Has obviously been pushed in this subject. Almost enough for an Outstanding grade, but more explanation needed.

These are very good results, and if you would like to sit the NEWT Defense paper early, please inform your Head of House, who will arrange it with the exam board. Please do not take this lightly as it is a great honour.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask by return owl.

Yours truly,

Griselda Marchbanks.
