Special abilities
Care of Magical Creatures: From a young age, Newt was already quite interested in Magizoology and highly talented, known for having excelled in his studies on the field as a Hogwarts student and acquired extensive knowledge of magical creatures and becoming so well-regarded as to be tasked to write the first edition of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. His travels around the world allow him to expand his knowledge and skill to phenomenal levels as he acquired complete understanding of many magical creatures through the world, earning a famous reputation for being one of the greatest Magizoologists in the world as he contributed so much to the advancement of Magizoology that his book displays thorough knowledge of many of the beasts and creatures in the world, both dangerous and non-dangerous.

Defence Against the Dark Arts: As one would expect for being a favourite student of Albus Dumbledore back when he held the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, Newt is outstandingly skillful and knowledgeable at defending himself against the Dark Forces.
Charms: Newt is shown to be very accomplished in charm-work. Highly adept in the use of simple and moderate charms, he repeatedly successfully performed the Summoning Charm at rather complicated and difficult situations, able to summon an egg from across a room with a man still holding onto it, simultaneously pull his Niffler.
Transfiguration: Newt appears to be fairly competent with transfiguration, given how he was able to swiftly transform glass into a sticky jelly-like substance to trap one of his Nifflers.
Nonverbal Magic: Newt is shown to be fully capable of using magic non-verbally, a testament to his actually considerable magical skills.
Healing Magic: Newt is quite adept and knowledgeable in Healing Magic, as he can easily recognise and identify the nature of and prepare medicinal remedies to cure the symptoms of creature-induced injuries.
Apparition: Newt proved to be quite skilled in Apparition, as he was able to successfully Apparate in many different situations, including on the air, and even making use of it to avoid the violent attacks.
Herbology: Newt is also proficient in looking after magical flora and is familiar with their properties, keeping several potted plants on a shelf in his shed in the magically expanded suitcase.
Duelling: Beguiling his peaceful disposition, Newt is an exceptional duellist, being considerably proficient with both offensive and defensive spells.
History of Magic: Newt also has knowledge of magical history, especially of Magizoology. A whole chapter of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is devoted to the definitions of beasts, beings, and spirits and how the definitions have evolved in past centuries.
Love: Despite all of Newt's complicated past and his preference of the company of magical creatures more than fellow human beings, he proves to be capable of remarkably strong love. Newt's love for his magical creatures leads to him occasionally tending to and keeping them as good pets rather than dangerous and he refuses to put them down even when faced with the possibility of retaliation. Newt is also fully capable of feeling genuine love and attachment to others: He clearly cares deeply for his friends, family, and the whole world of Nomardia.
Wandlore: Newt has some knowledge of the properties of wand cores, including Thunderbird tail feathers.
Physical Aptitude: Newt is in excellent physical condition, supporting a surprisingly muscular built despite his awkward appearances. He is physically strong and fast enough to be able to overtake several executioners without a wand, knocking one out with a single punch and moving faster than a female executioner can point her wand at him to turn the spell against another executioner. Newt also has astonishing levels of physical resilience and durability, having survived tangling with some of the most dangerous creatures in the world with only a few scars and he even quickly reboundes from being a hit by a spell with no injuries and then withstood some lightning curses and being knocked to the ground with only minor pain and no lasting harm and injury.
Indomitable Willpower: Newt, despite his awkwardness, wieldes immense willpower and bravery. He proves himself to be fully capable of standing up to others when needed, even if they are of high authority, and firmly maintaining his morality.
Resourcefulness and Strategical Aptitude: Despite his principals of not worrying or planning too much, when pushed, Newt proves to be a considerably talented and resourceful strategist. With only a minimum amount of resources at hand, he has proven able to repeatedly come up with numerous plans on the fly quite quickly that has successfully saved the day, making maximum use of anything he has in his disposal to great effect, and his calmness in the face of danger and tactical genius allows him to swiftly adapt or shift his plans to match situations where the condition has changed.
Detective Skills: Despite his socially awkward personality, from his experiences with many of the most dangerous and obscure beasts, having successfully discovered and solved their problems, Newt has shown himself to possess formidably sharp and intuitive deduction skills. He is able to quickly make an accurate deduction of where his creatures would go after they escaped his case and sees through their attempts to hide themselves with ease.
Author Skills: Newt is an exceptional author when it came to writing books related to magical creatures, with tireless passion, famous particularly for having been the one who wrote the top-quality creatures book of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which containes detailed information regarding many magical creatures in existence, and continuing to develop special editions that are greatly desired and used by thousands of wizards and witches.
Leadership Skills: As acknowledged by Dumbledore himself, Newt's desire to only do the right thing no matter what and lack of lust for power meant he is naturally suited to be a leader and had the potential to excel more than Dumbledore did. Newt never seeks power but will accept the burden of command and takes responsibility for those who "follow" him no matter how uncomfortable he is in the prospect while subsequently proving effective.
