“Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you’ve a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind.”
(x)На меня вчера снизошло по Рейвекнло и я пошла копаться в разных тумблер блогах тематических. Нашла много инетересного. Во первых, в них неоднократно подчёркивается, что в Рейвенкло учатся только самые умные и ботаны - это клише. Самое главное свойство - это тяга к знаниям и постоянное любопытство. А так же, подчёркивается, что не стоит забывать, что intellegence имеет разные оттенки и оно заключается не только в количестве запоминаемой информации. Я посчитала это важным вставить сюда в пост, потому что заметила такую неуверенность в тех, кто был определён тестом на факультет.
I’m worried that I’m not smart enough
I just want to take a second to point out that the ravenclaw motto specifically says “wit beyond measure”
not knowledge. not intelligence. not intellect. wit.
sharpness of mind. the ability to process quickly and inventively. learning for the sake of growing, not for the sake of being smart.
ravenclaws are not necessarily book smart and are likely the kind of people who only do half their homework because they were busy reenacting Chopped with the hufflepuffs and making excellent puns and “yeah professor i know i didn’t but look at this actual flying bird i charmed out of toothpicks from the great hall and also jessie’s shoe lace”

“I’ve been sorted into ravenclaw but I’m worried that I’m not smart enough!”
If there’s one thing I’d like people to take from this blog it’s the fact that you don’t have to be academically intelligent to be in ravenclaw.
Firstly, ravenclaws admire knowledge and strive to pursue it. This doesn’t necessarily mean they actually are smart. And secondly, intelligence comes in lots of different forms which is why ravenclaw places such a large emphasis on creativity and individuality.
So what if your average grade is a B? Maybe you’re an incredibly talented artist, maybe you’re a skilled musician, maybe you love exploring other cultures, maybe you’d rather spend your time learning about things that actually interest you rather than the mundane topics covered in school. Intelligence doesn’t just have one form and ravenclaws admire originality so much more than being able to memorise passages of text and spew them out in an exam
Ravenclaw is about so much more than grades; it’s about acceptance, inspiration, and ingenuity, so don’t ever feel like you wouldn’t fit in based on some letters on a page.
There are so many other things that define you.Самые клёвые блоги по ГП, это блоги с хедканонами. Вот один классный список того, какие отношения у рейвенкловцев с другими факультетами. Считается, что рейвенкло ближе всего по духу слизерин, поэтому про них интереснее всего.
Отношения с другими факультетамиOkay real talk slytherin/ravenclaw is like the ultimate power couple you put them together and they’re unstoppable and here’s why
-slytherins tend to stick to the status quo so having a ravenclaw in the mix helps them to branch out and find more innovative ways of achieving their goals
-ravenclaws are often big time procrastinators but slytherins get shit done and won’t stand for any slacking so the ravenclaws will actually follow through with their ideas for once
-both houses put a lot of emphasis on learning so the two will be able to bounce ideas off each other and encourage new ways of thinking
-the same goes for humour. I think slytherins and ravenclaws have a similar sense of humour in that it tends to be quite dry and witty so they enjoy hanging out
-the kind of friends that would go on a road trip with a checklist and would actually only end up getting half of it done but every time they do something not on the list they’d add it anyway just so they can get the satisfaction of crossing it off
-they’d have 2 am chats about bringing down the government
ravenclaws begging their slytherin friends to let them redecorate their common room because ‘it’s so dark and murky and creepy and how do you live in these conditions??’
-‘fuck off it’s classy af’
-slytherins would volunteer to be the friend ravenclaws use as their test subject providing they get taught any new spells the ravenclaw invents
-‘study sessions’ more like ‘hey you’re on track for an O in transfiguration. I’ll do your drawing of a centaur if you finish this essay for me.”
ultimate dream team
Вот здесь так же про романтические отношения со слизеренцами и про отношения с остальными факультетами. Так же в том посте про сходства и различия с факультетами. Интересно, что с Гриффиндором выходят довольно напряжённые, но очень активные/дополняющие отношения.—
