Gauntlet is out of order...
R1: Clears. Minas Tirith's army only had maybe 12,000 some men who were just men, so would become meat for the NK after they fall. No response to necromancy. Outnumbered by a force 5x as large who can summon blizzards and (per reputation at least) cause snows 100 feet deep that freeze kings to death in their homes. Hard to counter Viserion too (we saw what Drogon did to a city that had dragon killing bolts on deck and can somewhat scale to Viserion). Cave trolls were devastating when coming up against a force of men and GoT giants are bigger and stronger.
R2: Mordor. NK's necromancy may not work due to Sauron's own mastery. Can't recall EXACT figures but pretty sure Mordor would have the larger force. And Mordor's will be well trained, not mindless, and will be defending from a fortified position and have trebuchets/catapults. Also have creatures like cave trolls that can contend with things like giants or undead polar bears if need be. Viserion may be able to contend with the Nazgul but doubtful he could kill all of them on their felled beasts. The advantage of the darkness in Winterfell would be negated by the eye of Sauron. Wights don't have all that impressive combat feats. Biggest problem is no dragon glass or valyrian steel. But it won't take long to figure out fire works with smart commanders like the Witch King. (Just realized OP says defenders can kill white walkers. Don't know if he meant wights as well or if they'd still need to burn them, but either way, Mordor)
R3: Assuming this is from ATLA and hence not populated with fire benders, I'll say Night King clears. Earth bending is great and all but in the series, your average infantry man either wasn't a bender or wasn't near as impressive a bender as the main characters. Overwhelming numbers of non-benders were still a greater tactical advantage than a handful of skilled benders in the show. No response to necromancy, way smaller numbers, no response to blizzards. Sure, crushing them with boulders would work but based on what we saw from Azula's invasion attempt, they can't spam em fast enough to fully negate the numbers advantage. And Viserion could sweep the top of the wall. Ba Sing Se's greatest asset was its impenetrable wall. But if NK can fly over it, then people on the other side of the wall start dying and once he raises them, the enemy is inside.
Round 4: Clears. No real feats for these dwarves but if orcs and goblins took em down, NK should be able to. No response to necromancy. Harder to light ablaze the inside of mines than it is an open field, which is the best counter for a large force of wights.
Round 5: Lol magic is way too variable. This would be pure speculation. Not sure how they counter the magical shields guarding Hogwarts but if those fall, Hogwarts is screwed. There was a reason Voldemort and the Order were trying to make allies with magical creatures like giants. Because magic, though it seems like it ought to be, isn't actually OP. Hermione punching another wizard in the face still knocks him to the floor. Harry has been kicked in the middle of a duel and it was devastating. Magic can allow you to do great stuff but it takes skill and time while you yourself are still human with normal human durability. With 100,000 undead wights running at them, most of them cannot counter this. Voldemort's attacking force was something like two to three thousand. 100,000 is insanely different. And necromancy hax still works. But this is all predicated on them being able to breach Hogwarts' magical defenses, which I don't see them being able to do.
