A newt is a type of amphibian related to salamanders.
Description[]
It was used as a potion ingredient. It was an ingredient in a potion Harry Potter researched for the second task of the Triwizard Tournament.[1] The eye and spleen of this creature were also commonly used as a potion ingredient (such as in the Ageing Potion, the former also being a phrase used by the Frog Choir in the song Something Wicked This Way Comes.[2] The tail of this creature could supposedly be used as a protective device to protect the owner against the Dark Arts.[3]
Double-ended newts were a breed of newt with two heads that could be kept as a pet, which a wizard was instructed into by the saleswoman in the Magical Menagerie in 1993.[4] Ginger Newts were a kind of biscuit sweet in the wizarding world, which Minerva McGonagall, the Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, owned a jar of.[5]
The Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test was often abbreviated as "N.E.W.T.", likely a reference to this creature in much the same manner as the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams were abbreviated "O.W.L." (owl).
