| Hi!  I'm relatively new to the group, and I am an American with a
| question.  What do OWLs and NEWTs in the HP books represent?  What is
| an "ordinary level"?  Is it a class, a test, or both?

[Lee]:
OWL is Ordinary Wizarding Level, exams for which are held in Fifth year.

NEWT is Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test; they are given in Seventh year.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
