Ravenclaw

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

Ravenclaw was one of the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their common-room could be found in one of the towers and is guarded by a bronze eagle-shaped knocker, which will ask you a riddle. Before the right answer to the riddle is recieved, you won't be allowed to enter the room.

Ravenclaw's symbol is an eagle and the house-colours are blue and bronze.Three of the Four Queens all were sorted into Ravenclaw; Freedom, Mandy Diamond and Sarah Ferenish. Out of those three, Freedom was the one who really represented all of the traits that a true Ravenclaw had; creativity, knowledge, cleverness and intelligence. The two others often proved that they had some of these traits as well, but more often than ever acted before thinking.

The founder of Ravenclaw was Rowena Ravenclaw, who thought that intelligence was the best of traits that a student at Hogwarts could have. She was the one to create the moving staircases at Hogwarts, thus proving her own creativity. She was also described as "beautiful yet intimidating", which would also be a widely known trait in the Ravenclaw House; not only the three Queens who were sorted into Ravenclaw were intimidating yet beautiful, there were many others as well. Rowena Ravenclaw left a tiara behind after her death, which by rumour is still somewhere at Hogwarts.
