| I hereby enroll you in Ravenclaw!! |
| Founder – Rowena Ravenclaw The Sorting Hat's words about this house in Book 1: "...Old Ravenclaw, Wise and keen, Those who love learning, Will find their way within..." The Sorting Hat's words about this house in Book 4: "...Ravenclaw, where wit and learning shine, A place for those with minds so fine..." "...And each one chose his students well, Not by their looks or by their skill, But by the qualities they held, And the virtues they would instill. For Ravenclaw, intelligence was key..." The Sorting Hat's words about this house in Book 5: "...Ravenclaw says: I'll teach those who Are wise and eager to learn..." "...Ravenclaw – intelligence and mental strength..." As you can already tell, this is a house for avid bookworms! But you can't say, as some do (we won't name names), that only nerds study at Ravenclaw; rather, knowledge is combined with ingenuity and resourcefulness. In Ravenclaw, you won't find inseparable friends or relentlessly ambitious individuals who are constantly undermining you! These are people who, by their very nature, strive for a specific goal – to learn as much as possible in life and live their allotted time peacefully, creating a family and getting a decent job. But it can't be said that Ravenclaw is without its flaws. It is home to people who, to put it mildly, are cold! You won't find a Ravenclaw overjoyed by a good gift or an excellent grade; rather, they will take it for granted. They treat everything with coolness – either because they are not interested in it, or because they are not able to appreciate a particular "gift of fate." Also, in their pursuit of a good life, a Ravenclaw will often break a vow or promise and, without a second thought, go and tattle on you to the teacher/boss. (For those who have forgotten – Cho Chang's friend in Book 5). In general, if you are constantly striving for knowledge, then Ravenclaw is for you! |
