Troll (grade)

A Troll-graded W.O.M.B.A.T..

Troll is one of the three failing grades, out of six grades overall, in the Ordinary Wizarding Levels, Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests, and Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Tests. It is the lowest mark, immediately below Dreadful. There are no known recipients. Some people, including Hermione Granger, did not know it existed, hinting that the grade is seldom attributed.

Entering into N.E.W.T. Classes

If a student is given a Troll grade on their O.W.L. test, they have failed that subject and are thus unable to continue with that class at a N.E.W.T. level. The same goes for the other two failing grades: Poor and Dreadful.

Behind the scenes

• The grade "Troll", as the worst of the failing grades, comes from the fact that the Troll species is known to be incredibly dim-witted.
• In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Hermione Granger's boggart is Professor McGonagall showing her an essay with a Troll's head on it, obviously meaning a Troll grade. Her Riddikulus is the teacher presenting her an award.
