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.

Now, as we all know, the four houses of Hogwarts can be identified by very unique, defining characteristics- characteristics that allow these houses to stand out from the others. Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty and hard-work, Gryffindors for their bravery, Slytherins for their cunning, and Ravenclaws for their knowledge and wisdom. Of course- I am talking in generalizations here- but if the sorting hat is anything to go by- it's reasonably fair to summarize the houses based on the traits it preaches. The sorting hat DOES sort students in to houses, after all.
