Houses

Ravenclaw

Founded by Rowena Ravenclaw

Ravenclaw is the house for wit and a mind that would rather understand a problem than win an argument about it. Rowena Ravenclaw’s diadem was a device for wisdom until her daughter stole it and, much later, Tom Riddle turned it into a Horcrux and hid it in the Room of Requirement. Luna Lovegood is the house’s best-known student in these books: strange by the school’s measure, and right more often than the people who laugh at her.
