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

Ravenclaw House

• Head of House: Filius Flitwick
• Colors: Blue and bronze
• Animal: Eagle
• Ghost: Helena Ravenclaw (The Grey Lady)

The House of Founder Rowena Ravenclaw. The members of this house prize learning, wit, intellect, and wisdom. They can sometimes be quirky and have unusual intellectual interests, which they tend to embrace. The Ravenclaw common room is in one of the towers of Hogwarts Castle. Unlike all the other common rooms, which have a password, you must answer a riddle in order to enter the Ravenclaw common room. It is guarded by a bronze eagle-shaped knocker.
