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. Ms Granger completed her star chart accuratly anyway. Well Done!

Care for Creatures- Ms Granger proved herself very capable. It was obvious she knew the animals in theory as well, as she knew their weaknesses and other aspects very well to boost her grade. 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- Obviously the Best in the Class, with flawless demonstrations of the charms in question. Also performed several NEWT standard spells. Absolutely amazing.

Defense against the Dark Arts- Very good. Obviously has some experience with the Dark Forces. Very nice spellwork.

Herbology- Apart from a little sting and a few bites was a flawless exam. Very good indeed.

Potions- Perfect. Only one flaw could be found- a slightly thicker substance than usual. This did not affect the end result.

Transfiguration- Almost perfect. A slight difficulty with the more complex transfigurations, but no problem with the end results. Full Marks!

Arithmancy- Has a very good grasp of this subject. Precise calculations and neat work. Perhaps a little more timw needed on the actual exam, as the end seemed quite rushed.

Theory

Care of Magical Creatures- Amazing knowledge on the animals. A well deserved Outstanding.

Charms- Outstanding results. Goes into much detail and very thourough explanations. No problem at all. Suggested job as a teacher.

Defense against the Dark Arts- Large knowledge on the subject. Perhaps more concentration on the spells rather than the background behind them!

Arithmancy- Has obviously read up a great deal on the subject. Needs to explain her theories sometimes, but overall an outstanding paper!

Herbology- Knows her plants very well. Came second in the year in this paper, and it was very thourough and precise.

History of Magic- Incredible knowledge on the subject. One of only two pass grades on the subject, and the only Outstanding on the subject for about 14 years! Congratulations. Would make a very good teacher.

Potions- Very thourough paper. Has an excellent knowledge about a difficult subject. Outstanding!

Transfiguration- - Incredible knowledge on the subject. Congratulations. Would make a very good teacher. No mistakes in this paper and a lot of extra marks given out. 132% correct! WELL DONE!!!

Study of Ancient Runes- Very good, though a couple of runes slightly mixed up. However this would effect some spells greatly, so moved down a grade. Very good overall though.

These are very good results, and if you would like to sit the NEWT Charms, Transfiguration and History of Magic papers 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.

p.s. Astounding spellwork, Ms Granger. Reminds me of Albus Dumbledore when he was your age. Keep it up!
