In honor of our 7th year of the HPOOTP-Flourish & Blotts reading challenge, it’s time to take on your Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests!   Each of the 12 classes have 5 prompts. You get to decide which grades to go for in which classes and which classes you want to attempt a NEWT in (receive a passing grade). This year, as an extra challenge, we have added an Action to each subject.   'Actions' are intended to be completed while reading one of the book prompts for each of the 12 subjects.  You can find more details here:  bit.ly/2024Newts
