"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind."

Ravenclaw is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its founder was the medieval witch Rowena Ravenclaw. Members of this house are characterised by their wit, learning, and wisdom. The emblematic animal symbol is an eagle, and blue and bronze are its colours. The Head of Ravenclaw is Filius Flitwick and the house ghost is the Grey Lady, otherwise known as the daughter of Rowena RavenclawHelena Ravenclaw.

​

Ravenclaw House prizes learning, wisdom, wit, and intellect in its members. Thus, many Ravenclaws tend to be academically motivated and talented students. They also pride themselves on being original in their ideas, and methods. It's not unusual to find Ravenclaw students practising especially different types of magic that other houses might shun. Hermione Granger, an extremely intelligent witch and the top student in her year, was sorted into Gryffindor, though she admitted that the Sorting Hat had seriously considered placing her in Ravenclaw.

​

The smart Ravenclaws will take their time to determine the best strategy to outsmart their foes, valuing knowledge above all.

Excentrics in their own way, each Ravenclaw will find a way to prove you how smart they actually are, rejoicing on their own superiority. Information and knowledge are two of the most important things for a ravenclaw to have.

​

In this cube Ravenclaw is represented by the colors red and blue. Wit will benefit the Ravenclaws the more information they gather, aka, drawing cards. So hold on to your drawing card spells and abilities until you have a few creatures with Wit  so they can really outshine and prove how knowledge is power.

​

"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
