Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw values intelligence, learning, wisdom and wit.[HP5][HP7] The house mascot
is an eagle (raven in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films) and the house colours
are blue and bronze (blue and silver in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films).
During the books, the head of this house is the Charms teacher, Professor Filius Flitwick,
and the house ghost is the Grey Lady. According to Rowling, Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to
the element of air. The founder of this house is Rowena Ravenclaw.
The dormitories are in Ravenclaw Tower, on the west side of Hogwarts. The common room is
round and filled with blue hangings and armchairs, has a domed ceiling painted with stars
and features a replica statue of Rowena wearing her diadem. Harry also notes that Ravenclaws
"have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains". A logical riddle must be solved to gain
entry, whereas the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms only require a password. Professor
McGonagall, the head of the Gryffindor House, solves the riddle accurately.
