They’re led by Professor Minerva McGonagall, and the house has been home to the likes of Sirius Black, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, Hermione Granger, the Weasley siblings, Harry Potter and his father James, and last but certainly not least, Hogwarts’ Gryffindor-biased Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Gryffindor's house is decorated with scarlet red and gold drapery. So, she’s someone that can be remembered quite fondly. Considering the students of Ravenclaw are notably kind-hearted and accepting, it’s fair to say that Rowena shares this attribute. The matriarch of the house wished that only the cleverest of students would share her name. Not much is known about Rowena, but she’s well known as the “most brilliant witch of her time,” a compliment that would later be bestowed upon the non-Ravenclaw Hermione Granger. Ravenclaw was founded by a woman named Rowena Ravenclaw. Not only this, but ravens often symbolize great wisdom and insight. As such, Ravenclaws are aligned with the element of air. This group of magical beings is all linked by their creativity, cleverness, sharp wit and extraordinary intelligence. Hogwarts' Sorting Hat makes its often-wrong assignments based on the student’s traits, and these attributes can be connected back to the house's origins.īest recognizable for their blue and bronze colors, Ravenclaws are led by professor Filius Flitwick and have alumni such as house ghoul, The Grey Lady (Helena Ravenclaw), the cowardly, incompetent professor Gilderoy Lockhart, the wand maker Garrick Ollivander, and the quirky Luna Lovegood. The three others are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and the often-villainous Slytherin.

The titular Harry Potter is placed in the most well-known and favored Hogwarts house, Gryffindor. These groups are their houses and each house makes up both a team and a sort of family. At the beginning of their first year, each Hogwarts student is sorted into one of four groups. More specifically, they probably have a couple of groups in mind. When people think of Harry Potter, they likely think of Hogwarts and the students within it. But, many people don’t stop to think about where the houses came from. Some make their placements based on personality, much like the characters from the series. Most fans of the Harry Potter franchise have, at some point or another, taken an online quiz to determine their Hogwarts houses. You can find CBR's continuing coverage on Rowling here.
