The TRUTH: Why Ravenclaw's Mascot is an EAGLE and not a RAVEN

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing the Hogwarts house system- specifically, Ravenclaw house.

Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty and hard-work, Gryffindors for their bravery, Slytherins for their cunning, and Ravenclaws for their knowledge and wisdom.
