James Brolly me as well this is the first time I’ve seen someone defending my house every time I’ve told someone I’m a Ravenclaw they’ve called me a nerd
I found two types of shirts on my warner brothers tour and neither where in my size!! I still bought one tho. I still bought myself ravenclaw bedsheets from primark
Ok good video but let’s get one thing straight Luna Lovegood is an amazing example of what a Ravenclaw is, maybe not all Ravenclaws but one could argue that she is more Ravenclaw than most She is constantly doing something to train her brain She always thinks outside of the box She always thinks about things from many different angles and so much more Yeah she may be a bit (or a lot) out of the ordinary but that is what makes her such an amazing Ravenclaw
Yes she is but she was bullied by other ravenclaws which makes me think that most ravenclaws were not like her and that's why they bullied her. She didn't represent an average Ravenclaw. She represented a very unique Ravenclaw. And she isn't a lead character. She appears in the fifth book and becomes almost insignificant in the seventh and all other houses had significant characters throughout the series
@@achyuththouta6957 as a ravenclaw, i felt bad for Luna, knowing that Hermione is an anti-Luna (JKR said it herself) and also the one who is bullying Luna. But when they've met, Hermione began to understand Luna and finally became friends with her.
Couldn’t agree more! Luna is amazing and the best kind of Ravenclaw to #represent www.wizardingworld.com/features/seven-reasons-to-love-luna-lovegood 😍😍
She's perfect. People think we're just 'smart', and yet Hermione is in Griffindor, when Luna - the Anti-Hermione - is here. An individual, thinking outside the box, open-minded.
I just want to add, Lockhart is a genius. He came up with a great plan on how he can be famous with the least amount of effort and it totally worked. It's not that he's not talented, he's just lazy. He mastered memory charms and figured out how he can be very famous with only that. Lockhart is rightfully in Ravenclaw and I'm saying this as a Ravenclaw.
In the Wizarding World site, Lockhart's background is written. Here's some quotes from there "his teachers felt that he was of above-average intelligence and ability, and that, with hard work, he might make something of himself" "Sorted into Ravenclaw house, Lockhart was soon achieving good marks in his schoolwork, but there was always a kink in his nature that made him increasingly unsatisfied. If he was not first and best, he would rather not participate at all. Increasingly, he directed his talents towards short cuts and dodges. He valued learning not for its own sake, but for the attention it brought him. He craved prizes and awards."
fun fact; the films tried to make it blue and bronze, but the bronze coloring kept messing with the camera and looking like a muddy washed out mess in the original film, so they had to switch it to a "cleaner" color.
I'm a Ravenclaw and I prefer the Raven as our mascot and silver instead of bronze, but I feel that my fellow Ravenclaws should just choose whichever emblem best suits them.
And worse still is that blue and bronze looks better than blue and silver, on top of the fact that silver is part of the slytherin colors - not the ravenclaw ones. The movies and Warner shafted us real hard.
Gryffindors: We got all the famous characters! Hufflepuffs: We are underrepresented! (And therefore there are now a lot of hufflepuffs) Slytherins: We aren't all bad! Ravenclaws: hello?
I have always felt that Ravenclaw has been the most overlooked! People always used to say Hufflepuff was, but that claim has been made so much that it has reversed their situation and made it so they are almost overcompensating, now being up there with Gryffindor and Slytherin for popularity - Ravenclaw is the MOST overlooked house by a mile and has been since way before any of the Fantastic Beast films.
@@okidoki1811 At least your house mascot is a bird. Maybe not a raven but still a bird. What the f**k is a hufflepuff anyway. And why is their mascot a BADGER???
me, but to myself. me: *after taking MULTIPLE quizzes* I'm a ravenclaw 💙! me: *after looking up what ravenclaw is like* how though? I do so bad in school ..
Ravenclaw is about having an open mind and open heart! Embracing what others say it's weird and call it WONDERFUL! 💙 If you like to learn new things, are very creative and values what's different, that means you're home! 💙
It's a Ravenclaw Vs a Hermione (who is a Gryffindor) thing. Ravenclaw was so different to just plain old smarts that Hermione wasn't put in it. Yes, Hermione's Gryffindor traits are there...but Trelawney even made a joke about her being too closed/mundane minded, stuffy, and straight lined. She's very very school minded while Ravenclaw doesn't have that limitation that Hermione has. That's what I find helps me understand jokes, quotes, and comments about Ravenclaw intelligence; they are NOT Hermione. 😂
“Iguanas are basically squirrels for Florida.” That’s a beautiful statement, Ben. Also, thanks for defending us Ravenclaws. It sucks, I wanna buy merch but I want to buy the right merch
Also Ollivander, famous for the awfully gorgeous phrase of "terrible, yes, but great", which shows that Ravenclaws might stretch moral boundaries in the pursuit of knowledge ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶p̶o̶s̶s̶i̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶p̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶l̶e̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶S̶l̶y̶t̶h̶e̶r̶i̶n̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶u̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶i̶n̶g̶
@@janeschwab1682 the hufflepuff badger is not a honey badger though. It is a European badger and they are very different animals as European badgers tend to live together and work together (like hufflepuffs) whereas honey badgers live by themselves.
What about flitwick? He may have been a part-goblin but he is one of the most powerful wizards, he is a duelling champion and the best charm teacher. He is also the second most powerful ravenclaw, after Rowena Ravenclaw herself. He is small but an incredibly powerful wizard. Don’t underestimate him.
Same although Lockheart isn't actually that bad at being bad he's just not really that bad if you get what I mean like he doesn't actually want to hurt anybody he just wants to steal all their work because the only magic he's good at are memory charms.
People really need to know that the mascot of ravenclaw isn't a raven but an eagle... If the translation was good it's because I speak french and I read the Harry Potter books in french 😊
The french translation is very good tbh the only thing i was disappointed with is that they didn't change Slughorn's name when it was a really good opportunity to show creativity. But apart from that it's a really good example of what happens when translators actually put a lot of thoughts into a translation. For example, changing Tom Riddle's name so that it is an anagram for "je suis lord voldemort" instead of "i am ...", while keeping the "Tom" part because he has to have the same name as the bartender, and while still managing to squeeze in a play on word with Jedusor - Jeu du sort (roughly translates to "the game of fate") like WOW i can't imagine how they managed to come up with that
i hate the people who say: Slytherins are all evil Hufflepuff are the “underrated” wimps Gryffindors are the only one who matter And Ravenclaws are the bookworm nerds
True, I'm a ravenclaw but I prefer experiences rather than studying... I'm not a fan of reading or stuff... Unless it's a veeery interesting thing and I need it for some purpose
When I saw this title the Ravenclaw in Me nearly began to cry. Finally a whole video about us. But the majority of ravenclaws are more likely to be like Luna.
I appreciate you shedding light on the problems of 'official' Ravenclaw merch, and acknowledging that we don't have good representation in the books. Though Luna is fabulous!
Well, Ravenclaw has Luna = a fan favourite Quirrell = gives Harry his first huge experience with evil and helped make him strong Lockhart = Teaches Harry what he could become if he lets his ego grow to much Trelawney = Makes the prophecy that the whole story's centered around. Cho: Gives Harry his first kiss
Luna- bit crazy but nice Quirell- dude had voldemort at back of his head Lockhart- coward who stole other people acomplishemnts Trelwaney- bit crazy but nice Cho- its cho bruh
Right? After noticing J's "Shrewd" shirt in a previous video, I looked up similar shirts for the other houses, but "Shrewd" is a way better word than "Loyal," "Brave," or "Wise."
It’s really sad, especially considering those two are my main houses. Literally the first time I took the pottermore quiz it said Hufflepuff and the second time I took it I got Ravenclaw so I’m essentially a Ravenpuff (or Huffleclaw if you prefer that name)
@@ellomas2544 I mean honestly forget about the misrepresentation, I asked my friend (who went to Universal Studios Osaka) to buy Ravenclaw merch (preferably a keychain haha) for me and she said they couldn't find any?
There was a new clothing store in Hungary (where I live) that carried hp merch. I was so happy I could fly (cause you can only get it online and shipping is sooooo expensive). So I went and saw hoodies with the house crests and there was no ravenclaw one! there was slytherin, hufflepuff, gryyfindor and one with all four. i asked the girl who worked there if it sold out, but she said they never had one because it just isn't popular enough! I was so crushed... Like until fantastic beasts, hufflepuff and ravenclaw were on the sidelines together, but since then, ravenclaw is the forgotten house :(
Me, a Ravenclaw: *sobs* *applauds like a maniac* this is what my soul needed. We shall rise and gain a righteous representation! #BringBackTheBronze #RemoveTheRaven
I wish jk had made the mascot a raven from the beginning bc it makes so much more sense and that's what ravenclaws are about but noooo she mad the mascot an eagle and the movies did a raven so now everyone wants the eagle back. I mean it's literally on the name ravenclaw so she should of done it from the beginning tbh
Vidya B. It is A LAST NAME! If my last name is Fox does that mean my patronus is a fox? The houses are named after the founders! And it is an eagle because "Like eagles, Ravenclaws sour to great heights." The name Ravenclaw is basically a pun/nod to the fact that a raven is also an intelligent bird.
@@spencersholden saaaame! I’m definitely a slytherin now. But when I was 11 I was a Hufflepuff. And in the books you’re sorted when your eleven and that’s your house forever. I consider Hufflepuff my true house since it’s what I originally got, and Slytherin my current/secondary house that fits my personality and motives better now
Another Hufflepuff here and I have to say that while both are ignored is because of JK Rowling’s Good (Gryffindor) vs Bad (Slytherin) story that she set up while Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws sit off to the side. Not saying I don’t like Harry Potter because I LOVE harry potter but I wish Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws had some better, more prominent, stories and characters
Finalllllllyyyyy! I can't find ANY good merch except for stuff on Etsy P.S. Its Ravenclaw because eagles have black talons. Raven - not the bird, the color raven (black)
Which is such a Ravenclaw thing to do, wordplay, you know Rowena was chuckling when she did that. Also, Ben forgot the most important Ravenclaw trait, thinking outside the box and not accepting the status quo, like theory crafting. Finally, Ravenclaw does get one thing, we have Merlin.
As a ravenclaw, I like the Eagle more as its just kinda a cooler mascot. However if you're going off of what best fits the house, the raven is the perfect symbol.
I think they should just make the Raven canon, people just automatically think of a Raven when they think Ravenclaw. Plus as noted by this video, the Revan would be a better representation for the values of the house. An eagle on the other hand is just a cool-looking bird.
Although amazingly smart, ravens are scavenger birds. They usually seek their food being at the bottom, taking what others left. Eagles, on the other hand, are birds of prey. Boldness, intelligence, strength, elegance and superiority over the prey make the eagle a more suitable animal to represent the house, in my opinion.
“Ravenclaws celebrate individuality!!!” Like five minutes earlier: “Luna’s not the best example of a Ravenclaw, she’s kind of an outcast in her own house...”
Valuing individuality does not automatically mean everyone in the house is actually kind. Every house has jerks (yes, even Hufflepuff, fight me). And personally, I also think Ravenclaw is maybe the least collectively social house as well, so it's easy to understand you'd have outliers and loners in a house like that. Being very individualistic, they don't necessarily have such a strong teamwork mentality that we see in Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs.
I'm a Ravenclaw, and I'm kinda gettin the vibes that my house are the ones who don't get invited to office parties and stuff. I would know, I get uninvited to parties all the time!
Well, why would we want to waste time on such a pointless event? It certainly isn't going to be fun, there are better ways to network for career opportunities, and we definitely aren't learning anything there. You can have your office party, thank you. I'll pass.
Honestly, I nearly wanted to start crying when I saw the title. Finally, a video all about us! I am a Ravenclaw and some of the problems i deal with is that many people tease me and say that i'm a nerd and don't belong in most social groups. #RemoveTheRaven #BringBackTheBronze
But wouldn't you be bored in most social groups? My experience is that it's best to embrace your unique individuality, be content with a very few close friends and go anywhere you want to go as if you rule the world without needing "acceptance".
As a Hufflepuff- I can confirm and we are very thankful but CAN WE HAVE A MERCH COLOR CHANGE TOO? Like that bright yellow is oogly like I love the Ravenclaw blue but we are bees now not badgers- owo
I feel like huffelpuff and slytherin are now the most popular houses because everyone ignores ravenclaw and think that gryfindor is overrated (I actually think that gryfindor is overlooked and gets hate because people that are not that into Harry Potter LOVE gryfindor just because is the house where the protagonists house)
true true, imma gryffindor, and even tho i know most gryffs aren't fake fans, if someone tells me that they are a gryffindor i immedietaly think they are a fake fan EVEN THO IMMA GRYFF TOO oOf
"Luna Lovegood isn't really the best representation of Ravenclaw." I somewhat disagree there, because despite her being an outcast even among her housemates, she displays creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, which are key traits that Ravenclaw values. Her intelligence is there it just manifests differently. Although I agree that Ravenclaw does deserve a character who represents the average Ravenclaw instead of it kind of being "either you're a Luna or you're a Cho Chang" type of deal.
I don't understand why Luna got a bad rap in her own house like we are full of outside thinking, why would we shun her? That's not Ravenclaw. Smart people don't hurt others unless they threaten them of which Luna doesn't so... Yeah, it makes no sense.
yea plus part of being ravenclaw is being an outcast so it would make sense that members of ravenclaw may not get along with each other as on like the other houses may
@@DahliaLegacy sometimes the smartest people are scared of what they don't understand and Luna being less logical may be frightening to a house of logical thinkers who typically don't understand people that well
Yeah, intelligence and knowledge aren't the defining characteristic of a Ravenclaw. It's the thirst for knowledge, intuition and creative thinking. That's what made Luna suitable for Ravenclaw. She was always willing to think outside of the box, unlike say Hermione, who ( although very knowledgeable ) was consistently stubborn and narrow-minded throughout the books.
See, the thing is, everyone can argue that their house is underrated but Hufflepuff = Tonks, Newt, Teddy Gryffindor = Golden Trio, Ginny, Neville etc. Dumbledore, Marauders Slytherin = Draco, Regulus, Albus Severus (for those who consider the cursed child canon), Death Eaters, Andromeda etc. RAVENCLAW = LUNA who shows up in book 5!!! And CHO. Oh you don't know who that is? Well she kind of went out with Harry at one stage but not really. Not important anyways. FINITO
I disagree. Hufflepuffs are viewed as always cheerful, sometimes to a point of stupidity. Griffindors are seen as dumb jocks, Ravenclaws as emotionless nerds, Slytherin as evil and evil and also evil.
@@Subangelis see I understand your point entirely. You are correct. However my point in not putting them down was that ravenclaw doesn't have any character that is as big as Harry, or Draco, or Newt. Obviously they have a lot of characters such as the ones that you have mentioned. However one must agree that they don't have as developed characters as the other houses. To a certain extent
I prefer the raven; just saying. *shrug* I feel it better represents our House, but I also feel that each Ravenclaw should simply choose whichever color scheme and mascot better suits their preferences.
True. But let's remember that he's the bloke who told little Harry that Voldemort did great things; terrible, but great. So, cool character and amazing actor.
Thank you so much for a dressing this problem. We Ravenclaws have it the worst out of all the houses. We are so badly stereotyped. Everyone thinks we are all nerds and stuck up. Not all of this are like that. Thanks a lot for this.
yasss the first time i saw him in da vid i legit started screaming and my mom came like "WOT HAPPENED" and i start screaming that i want the frickin shirt but i aint gots no cash soooooooooo
I agree. I'm a Ravenclaw, and when I was sorted, I couldnt remember any traits about Ravenclaws, and thats because they were barly represented in the books and movies! Also I was kinda mad and wanted to be in Hufflepuff or somthing. Hufflepuff used to be underated untill everyone wanted to be one because of that. Slitheryn has a really protective house, and for that reason everyone focuses on them. And thn oviously Griffindoor has Harry and the whole gang up in there. Least to say and I love my house now. I'm hoping Ravenclaw gets more light shown int he future.
Talk about Deathly Hallows: "Harry, what's going on?!" "We don't have the time Neville. Take this sword and go cut off the head of Voldemort's ox." "W-what...?!" Or, Fantastic Beasts: Rather than a snake, a large buffalo smashes its way into the room, before folding and morphing before their eyes. Where once was a buffalo, now was a broad chested ginger man. "I'm Nagino, I'm the Weasley Accountant."
Exactly! It bugs me that Ravenclaw is so underappreciated. I used to go to Universal a lot and the representation of Ravenclaw is slim to none! Obviously, Gryffindor and Slytherin have the most, with Hufflepuff having a little less. But if you look closely, very little Ravenclaw items exist. And to make matters worse, it's the wrong colors and the wrong mascot. More Ravenclaw representation!
@@VihtoriKye so true! Ravenclaws are terribly underrepresented! I mean the books in general are mostly centered around gryffindor and Slytherin, then there's Newt Scamander who's a "hufflepuff-hero" (besides Cedric, of course) but all we get is freakin' Cho Chang?! And yes Gilderoy Lockhart, like that's the most beloved character... seriously, we deserve better than this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! I am a Ravenclaw and I am proud of it! #RemoveTheRaven #BringBackTheBronze Thanks for all the likes! This is the most I’ve ever gotten!!
The other day I went to the Puyallup Fair and I saw this really cute backpack I really wanted it but then I looked closely at it and saw a raven it had Ravens all over it is it Ravenclaw and the colors was not even the same shade of blue Hazard cross it was a really light blue and the other color on it was silver my boyfriend found me a shirt that had an eagle but had the wrong colors it was silver and super super dark nearly navy blue...... at least it had an eagle. My boyfriend refuses to give me anything that says Ravenclaw that does not have any eagle .
@@logicallyblue3814 and Luna seems weird to everyone, not just ravenclaws. The other ravenclaws probably seem odd to Luna, as well. My point is that each ravenclaw could be a different kind of weird or eccentric.
@@mozziemeow9948 Have you taken the quiz more than one time? It doesn't always give you the same questions, so if you answer the same thing on the same questions when you take the quiz again you can still get different houses. I took the quiz 20 times in one day and got 9 ravenclaw, 9 hufflepuff, 1 gryffindor and 1 slytherin, so I like to think of myself as ravenclaw or hufflepuff, undecided until an actual sorting hat comes along and sorts me. 😁
People often forget that creativity is one of the Ravenclaw house traits. 💙( And everything mentioned in the video)💙 Not all Slytherin's are evil💚 Hufflepuffs aren't leftovers from the sorting or weaker than the other houses💛 But in the end I'm still proud to be a Ravenclaw and hope that I will sometime be able to get the right merch at the store.
I feel like when the majority of us looked at his shirt, and saw the stack of pancakes, we were just like “Ah yes, that is indeed a hufflepuff.” And just carried on with the video.
I think it is important to acknowledge that ALL of the houses have stereotypes. I am a Hufflepuff. I agree that Ravenclaws definitely get the shorter end of the stick. I will say that unfortunately, when I tell people that I am in Hufflepuff, they say things like “Hufflepuffs are weak” or “Hufflepuffs are the leftover house.” Also, it is possible to be a kind Slytherin; you can be ambitious and not be a bad person.
Im curently showing my nephew Harry Potter for the first time and I’m like REMEMBER SLYTHERINS CAN BE GOOD GRYFFINDORS CAN BE BAD RAVENCLAWS AND HUFFLEPUFFS NEEDS TO BE REMEMBERED
As a Ravenclaw, I am offended that we are said to have “blue and silver” as colors, and “the raven” as our colors are blue and BRONZE, Our mascot is the EAGLE!💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅🤎🦅💙🤎🦅 #removetheraven #bringbackthebronze
Vendela I’m not hating on Slytherin, my therapist, my brother, and my best friend are all Slytherins. All I’m saying is that Ravenclaws are misrepresented, so are Slytherins, and they have a video on how your house is misrepresented. I’m just helping my fellow Ravenclaws. Trust me, Slytherin is my second favorite house (Ravenclaw being my own is my favorite) but I love Slytherin. #SlitherClaw yes I’m starting that, because both of our houses are misrepresented.
Luna is my favorite character, I love her 💙 but… she was introduced to late, which didn’t leave a lot of time for Ravenclaw to leave there mark. If she was introduced earlier I think us Ravenclaw could say we have a main character.
Gryffindors: We got all of the good guys. We got Harry Freaking Potter Slytherin: We got all of the cool bad guys. We got Voldemort! Hufflepuffs: Bro, we got Newt Scamander and Tonks. We all good, bro! Ravenclaws: Hey, we got Lockhart and Quirrell. We also got Trelwany and Luna, both are kinda crazy. And we got Cho, an emotional breakdown machine. Yeah...
Olivander is pretty good representation. He's brilliant and intellectually unusual because of his obsession. Ravenclaws love that. He's also a pretty important character since he was kidnapped and imprisoned for his knowledge and mastery.
Yea im a ravenclaw and i dont see myself as a nerd if I told someone I was a ravenclaw they would be surprised because were supposed to be "nerds" there are other aspects too being a nerd is fine but being labeled as "just a nerd" is not fine there is more to a person then just their iq level
I was genuinely confused when I saw that the Ravenclaw uniform merch was silver and blue. me: wait I could have sworn the colours were bronze and blue.
Gryffindor is the most hated house nowadays and i had a hard time accepting i was one just cuz of it. Can’t we all just love our house without bashing another? ❤️🦁 it’s srsly annoying And do ravenclaw justice please, they deserve to be represented as well💙🦅
When I first read Harry Potter I was afraid of being in either Gryffindor or Slytherin because of the conflict and I didn't want people to think I wanted to be in the same house as the "good" characters. Thankfully I'm not fussed anymore.
I have a feeling that the all of the houses were overall better fleshed out in the fandom than in the books. Possibly because the books are more from Harry's P.O.V. I do wish we could see a fuller, richer representation of the houses from the series in general.
And yeah - the colours and house emblem being misrepresented to this extent is ridiculous! It's almost like when you're a kid, and you're writing test, and you're not sure of a spelling for a word, so you keep alternating between two (if not more) spellings, in the hope that at least one of them is right! :P

Ok good video but let’s get one thing straight
Luna Lovegood is an amazing example of what a Ravenclaw is, maybe not all Ravenclaws but one could argue that she is more Ravenclaw than most
She is constantly doing something to train her brain
She always thinks outside of the box
She always thinks about things from many different angles and so much more
Yeah she may be a bit (or a lot) out of the ordinary but that is what makes her such an amazing Ravenclaw
Yes she is but she was bullied by other ravenclaws which makes me think that most ravenclaws were not like her and that's why they bullied her. She didn't represent an average Ravenclaw. She represented a very unique Ravenclaw. And she isn't a lead character.

Amy Miller Couldn’t Agree More!!! Luna is the best kind of Ravenclaw 😍
Couldn’t agree more! Luna is amazing and the best kind of Ravenclaw to #represent www.wizardingworld.com/features/seven-reasons-to-love-luna-lovegood 😍😍
She's perfect. People think we're just 'smart', and yet Hermione is in Griffindor, when Luna - the Anti-Hermione - is here. An individual, thinking outside the box, open-minded.
I just want to add, Lockhart is a genius. He came up with a great plan on how he can be famous with the least amount of effort and it totally worked. It's not that he's not talented, he's just lazy. He mastered memory charms and figured out how he can be very famous with only that. Lockhart is rightfully in Ravenclaw and I'm saying this as a Ravenclaw.
👏👏👏👏
Tbh that sounds more like Slytherin to me
@@Rainime his second house is definitely Slytherin. I personally think he suits Ravenclaw better, but I can see why you would say Slytherin.
In the Wizarding World site, Lockhart's background is written. Here's some quotes from there
"his teachers felt that he was of above-average intelligence and ability, and that, with hard work, he might make something of himself"
"Sorted into Ravenclaw house, Lockhart was soon achieving good marks in his schoolwork, but there was always a kink in his nature that made him increasingly unsatisfied.

fun fact; the films tried to make it blue and bronze, but the bronze coloring kept messing with the camera and looking like a muddy washed out mess in the original film, so they had to switch it to a "cleaner" color.
@@zephner They could've made it yellow, brown or orange. Silver is just way off from bronze. At least choose something close to the original colors

I'm a Ravenclaw and I prefer the Raven as our mascot and silver instead of bronze, but I feel that my fellow Ravenclaws should just choose whichever emblem best suits them.
It makes me so irrationally angry that the official merch is blue and silver instead of bronze... *sigh*
wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure
and sadly the dunderheads that designed our house merch had none
A true Revenclaw wrote this!
True Ravenclaw just there...true Ravenclaw
And worse still is that blue and bronze looks better than blue and silver, on top of the fact that silver is part of the slytherin colors - not the ravenclaw ones. The movies and Warner shafted us real hard.
So true! 💙🦅 #Ravenclawpride

It's a Ravenclaw Vs a Hermione (who is a Gryffindor) thing. Ravenclaw was so different to just plain old smarts that Hermione wasn't put in it. Yes, Hermione's Gryffindor traits are there...but Trelawney even made a joke about her being too closed/mundane minded, stuffy, and straight lined. She's very very school minded while Ravenclaw doesn't have that limitation that Hermione has. That's what I find helps me understand jokes, quotes, and comments about Ravenclaw intelligence; they are NOT Hermione. 😂

In french, Ravenclaw is "Serdaigle". Aigle means eagle, so in french there's no problem with the raven and eagle.
Good french translation. In portuguese we have Ravenclaw translated as "Corvinal". Corvo means Raven.
People really need to know that the mascot of ravenclaw isn't a raven but an eagle... If the translation was good it's because I speak french and I read the Harry Potter books in french 😊
Definetly! I wonder how other languages translated our house's name. It's really interesting to know that.
I agree with you. We are a community !
The french translation is very good tbh the only thing i was disappointed with is that they didn't change Slughorn's name when it was a really good opportunity to show creativity. But apart from that it's a really good example of what happens when translators actually put a lot of thoughts into a translation. For example, changing Tom Riddle's name so that it is an anagram for "je suis lord voldemort" instead of "i am ...", while keeping the "Tom" part because he has to have the same name as the bartender, and while still managing to squeeze in a play on word with Jedusor - Jeu du sort (roughly translates to "the game of fate") like WOW i can't imagine how they managed to come up with that
i hate the people who say:
Slytherins are all evil
Hufflepuff are the “underrated” wimps

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff don't get as much merch as Griffindor and Slytherin and that's kinda sad
Right? After noticing J's "Shrewd" shirt in a previous video, I looked up similar shirts for the other houses, but "Shrewd" is a way better word than "Loyal," "Brave," or "Wise."
It’s really sad, especially considering those two are my main houses. Literally the first time I took the pottermore quiz it said Hufflepuff and the second time I took it I got Ravenclaw so I’m essentially a Ravenpuff (or Huffleclaw if you prefer that name)
Literally! In HARRY POTTER WORLD LONDON Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw shared a section of a wall whereas Griffindor and Slytherin had a wall to themselves
@@ellomas2544 I mean honestly forget about the misrepresentation, I asked my friend (who went to Universal Studios Osaka) to buy Ravenclaw merch (preferably a keychain haha) for me and she said they couldn't find any?
There was a new clothing store in Hungary (where I live) that carried hp merch. I was so happy I could fly (cause you can only get it online and shipping is sooooo expensive). So I went and saw hoodies with the house crests and there was no ravenclaw one! there was slytherin, hufflepuff, gryyfindor and one with all four. i asked the girl who worked there if it sold out, but she said they never had one because it just isn't popular enough!

I took the potter more quiz twice. First time a raven claw. Second time a sytherin tho I have none of personality traits of a Sytherin ; - ;
Thanks so much for acknowledging my house! Everyone says Hufflepuff is misrepresented, but Ravenclaw is just flat out ignored! #ProudRavenclaw
Another Hufflepuff here and I have to say that while both are ignored is because of JK Rowling’s Good (Gryffindor) vs Bad (Slytherin) story that she set up while Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws sit off to the side. Not saying I don’t like Harry Potter because I LOVE harry potter but I wish Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws had some better, more prominent, stories and characters

High five
(I thought my memory was playing tricks with me)
As a ravenclaw, I like the Eagle more as its just kinda a cooler mascot. However if you're going off of what best fits the house, the raven is the perfect symbol.
Why not both? Like you have intelligence like a Raven, and reach high like an Eagle.
I think they should just make the Raven canon, people just automatically think of a Raven when they think Ravenclaw. Plus as noted by this video, the Revan would be a better representation for the values of the house. An eagle on the other hand is just a cool-looking bird.
I feel like an eagle represents more like bravery. A raven intelligence. I think it fits better.
Although amazingly smart, ravens are scavenger birds. They usually seek their food being at the bottom, taking what others left. Eagles, on the other hand, are birds of prey. Boldness, intelligence, strength, elegance and superiority over the prey make the eagle a more suitable animal to represent the house, in my opinion.
@@DarkNova2010 Eagles are murderers!
“Ravenclaws celebrate individuality!!!”
Like five minutes earlier: “Luna’s not the best example of a Ravenclaw, she’s kind of an outcast in her own house...”
My exact reaction..
Good point
Valuing individuality does not automatically mean everyone in the house is actually kind. Every house has jerks (yes, even Hufflepuff, fight me). And personally, I also think Ravenclaw is maybe the least collectively social house as well, so it's easy to understand you'd have outliers and loners in a house like that. Being very individualistic, they don't necessarily have such a strong teamwork mentality that we see in Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs.

Ear ear
Look at it this way: If Hufflepuffs stepped out of their rut, what’s to say we Ravenclaws and Gryffindors can’t overcome our own adversities?
I would say Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are the most popular...
"Luna Lovegood isn't really the best representation of Ravenclaw." I somewhat disagree there, because despite her being an outcast even among her housemates, she displays creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, which are key traits that Ravenclaw values. Her intelligence is there it just manifests differently. Although I agree that Ravenclaw does deserve a character who represents the average Ravenclaw instead of it kind of being "either you're a Luna or you're a Cho Chang" type of deal.
I don't understand why Luna got a bad rap in her own house like we are full of outside thinking, why would we shun her? That's not Ravenclaw. Smart people don't hurt others unless they threaten them of which Luna doesn't so... Yeah, it makes no sense.
yea plus part of being ravenclaw is being an outcast so it would make sense that members of ravenclaw may not get along with each other as on like the other houses may
@@DahliaLegacy sometimes the smartest people are scared of what they don't understand and Luna being less logical may be frightening to a house of logical thinkers who typically don't understand people that well
Yeah, intelligence and knowledge aren't the defining characteristic of a Ravenclaw. It's the thirst for knowledge, intuition and creative thinking. That's what made Luna suitable for Ravenclaw. She was always willing to think outside of the box, unlike say Hermione, who ( although very knowledgeable ) was consistently stubborn and narrow-minded throughout the books.
@@A_Feather Agreed.
See, the thing is, everyone can argue that their house is underrated but Hufflepuff = Tonks, Newt, Teddy
Gryffindor = Golden Trio, Ginny, Neville etc. Dumbledore, Marauders
Slytherin = Draco, Regulus, Albus Severus (for those who consider the cursed child canon), Death Eaters, Andromeda etc.
RAVENCLAW = LUNA who shows up in book 5!!! And CHO. Oh you don't know who that is? Well she kind of went out with Harry at one stage but not really. Not important anyways. FINITO
I disagree. Hufflepuffs are viewed as always cheerful, sometimes to a point of stupidity. Griffindors are seen as dumb jocks, Ravenclaws as emotionless nerds, Slytherin as evil and evil and also evil.
Um. Flitwick, Lockhart, Padma Patil, Ollivander, Quirrell, Trelawney , Luna's dad
...just to name a few. Unlike a Ravenclaw to do research.
@@Subangelis see I understand your point entirely. You are correct. However my point in not putting them down was that ravenclaw doesn't have any character that is as big as Harry, or Draco, or Newt.

What about Ollivander? I think he’s a good representation of Ravenclaw.
*YES!!*
I was also thinking that
He is!! But he is not mentioned in the books to be a ravenclaw either
True. But let's remember that he's the bloke who told little Harry that Voldemort did great things; terrible, but great. So, cool character and amazing actor.
Ollivander and Ignatia Wildsmith represent best Ravenclaw's in my opinion...
Thank you so much for a dressing this problem. We Ravenclaws have it the worst out of all the houses. We are so badly stereotyped. Everyone thinks we are all nerds and stuck up. Not all of this are like that. Thanks a lot for this.

Hufflepuffs are soo disrespected 🤦🏾♀️🤣
poor hufflepuffs
I agree. I'm a Ravenclaw, and when I was sorted, I couldnt remember any traits about Ravenclaws, and thats because they were barly represented in the books and movies! Also I was kinda mad and wanted to be in Hufflepuff or somthing. Hufflepuff used to be underated untill everyone wanted to be one because of that. Slitheryn has a really protective house, and for that reason everyone focuses on them. And thn oviously Griffindoor has Harry and the whole gang up in there. Least to say and I love my house now. I'm hoping Ravenclaw gets more light shown int he future.

“Yes oxen.” 😂
God honestly how different the books would be if Voldemort could talk to Oxen.

Or, Fantastic Beasts:
Rather than a snake, a large buffalo smashes its way into the room, before folding and morphing before their eyes.

hahah
I’m so sad that this was 4 years ago and still nothing has changed!!! Proud RAVENCLAW here!!!🦅💙🧡
AS A PROUD, YET FRUSTATED RAVENCLAW, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO LIKE FOREVER, AND I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED
You are not alone
not alone waiting for this in 2 years
yep..Ravenclaw for life
Exactly! It bugs me that Ravenclaw is so underappreciated. I used to go to Universal a lot and the representation of Ravenclaw is slim to none! Obviously, Gryffindor and Slytherin have the most, with Hufflepuff having a little less. But if you look closely, very little Ravenclaw items exist. And to make matters worse, it's the wrong colors and the wrong mascot. More Ravenclaw representation!
@@VihtoriKye so true! Ravenclaws are terribly underrepresented! I mean the books in general are mostly centered around gryffindor and Slytherin, then there's Newt Scamander who's a "hufflepuff-hero" (besides Cedric, of course) but all we get is freakin' Cho Chang?! And yes Gilderoy Lockhart, like that's the most beloved character... seriously, we deserve better than this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! I am a Ravenclaw and I am proud of it! #RemoveTheRaven
#BringBackTheBronze
Thanks for all the likes! This is the most I’ve ever gotten!!
MichaelWithAnA ravenclaw forblife
Yes!!!! I like the eagle better idk why =3
I’m a raven claw too
I'm Ravenclaw
I'm a Hufflepuff, but I 100% TOTALLY agree; Ravenclaw house deserves their EAGLE! 🦅
Thanks, the feeling is much appreciated!
AND THE BRONZE (thank you. I'm a Ravenpuff)
You would try to make us feel better. Lol.
Proof that you are indeed a hufflepuff 😂
Thank you
On behalf of all Hufflepuffs, I can surely say that shirt is basically a mood
I’m a ravenclaw and literally the only hoodie I could find had the wrong stuff on it 😒

#bringbackthebronze
Hear hear!
The other day I went to the Puyallup Fair and I saw this really cute backpack I really wanted it but then I looked closely at it and saw a raven it had Ravens all over it is it Ravenclaw and the colors was not even the same shade of blue Hazard cross it was a really light blue and the other color on it was silver my boyfriend found me a shirt that had an eagle but had the wrong colors it was silver and super super dark nearly navy blue...... at least it had an eagle. My boyfriend refuses to give me anything that says Ravenclaw that does not have any eagle .
Also everyone thinking we’re just the smart house when we also have all the artists!!! We’re also the creative house!
Eleanor Ravenclaw seems to encompass the wisest variety of people, and yet we don’t get to see that anywhere.
We are also eccentric, which means the way we do things isn't the norm and is seen as wierd (I'm basically Luna) 🦅
@@logicallyblue3814 and Luna seems weird to everyone, not just ravenclaws. The other ravenclaws probably seem odd to Luna, as well. My point is that each ravenclaw could be a different kind of weird or eccentric.
Eleanor I like to think that I was stuck between hufflepuff and raven claw. I’m creative, yet kind. I got hufflepuff sooo...... am I half raven claw?
@@mozziemeow9948 Have you taken the quiz more than one time? It doesn't always give you the same questions, so if you answer the same thing on the same questions when you take the quiz again you can still get different houses. I took the quiz 20 times in one day and got 9 ravenclaw, 9 hufflepuff, 1 gryffindor and 1 slytherin, so I like to think of myself as ravenclaw or hufflepuff, undecided until an actual sorting hat comes along and sorts me. 😁
People often forget that creativity is one of the Ravenclaw house traits. 💙( And everything mentioned in the video)💙
Not all Slytherin's are evil💚
Hufflepuffs aren't leftovers from the sorting or weaker than the other houses💛
But in the end I'm still proud to be a Ravenclaw and hope that I will sometime be able to get the right merch at the store.
@James Miller your right I totally forgot about that! ( It's time I read the books again I keep forgetting stuff)
JamesMiller, oddballs are indeed sorted into Hufflepuff, BUT, if someone is already kind or loyal they will be Hufflepuffs as well.
Leftovers ):<
This is why we needed Newt Scamander. To prove otherwise...
People dislike being a gryffindor because its filled with Tom Hollands
now these replies are making me (a proud Hufflepuff) quite frustrated
9:56 Ben: what’s the deal with the iguana?
Quirrell: DANCIN’ IGUANA
"There is no house that is treated worse when it comes to merch and House Pride than Ravenclaw" will be my new tattoo.
how do I retweet this
I feel like when the majority of us looked at his shirt, and saw the stack of pancakes, we were just like “Ah yes, that is indeed a hufflepuff.” And just carried on with the video.
I just want the shirt to be in Hufflepuff yellow. It's adorable. (not a hufflepuff, but huffle-curious)
that is just so stereotypical. I am hufflepuff
Yes
@@ecampbell12 I am (half) too, and it's so friggin' on point
I feel that Hufflepuffs would have the least hate if/when they are portrayed by the wrong mascot, plus who hates pancakes.
I'm in Ravenclaw and my struggle is finding Ravenclaw merch
So true.
Me too the struggle is real
Lootcrate is where it's at, I'm a ravenclaw too
🦅🦁🦡🐍
myself as well.
I think it is important to acknowledge that ALL of the houses have stereotypes. I am a Hufflepuff. I agree that Ravenclaws definitely get the shorter end of the stick. I will say that unfortunately, when I tell people that I am in Hufflepuff, they say things like “Hufflepuffs are weak” or “Hufflepuffs are the leftover house.” Also, it is possible to be a kind Slytherin; you can be ambitious and not be a bad person.
Im curently showing my nephew Harry Potter for the first time and I’m like REMEMBER SLYTHERINS CAN BE GOOD
GRYFFINDORS CAN BE BAD
RAVENCLAWS AND HUFFLEPUFFS NEEDS TO BE REMEMBERED
You are going to be one good aunt/ uncle ma'am/sir
"Iguanas are basically just squirrels of Florida"
My new favorite quote ever
Danny Krastek As a Floridian, I can confirm this.
this.. this is correct. iguanas all around my backyard
I mean.. it's true
As a Ravenclaw, I am offended that we are said to have “blue and silver” as colors, and “the raven” as our colors are blue and BRONZE, Our mascot is the EAGLE!💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅💙🤎🦅🤎🦅💙🤎🦅 #removetheraven #bringbackthebronze

@Vendela
Vendela I’m not hating on Slytherin, my therapist, my brother, and my best friend are all Slytherins. All I’m saying is that Ravenclaws are misrepresented, so are Slytherins, and they have a video on how your house is misrepresented. I’m just helping my fellow Ravenclaws. Trust me, Slytherin is my second favorite house (Ravenclaw being my own is my favorite) but I love Slytherin. #SlitherClaw yes I’m starting that, because both of our houses are misrepresented.
Shouldn't silver be better coz it's second and bronze is third according to medal colours (not hating on original colours or ur comment)
@@basantasenabiswas9459 Nah bronze is classy.
Luna is my favorite character, I love her 💙 but… she was introduced to late, which didn’t leave a lot of time for Ravenclaw to leave there mark. If she was introduced earlier I think us Ravenclaw could say we have a main character.
"Yes, We can go bad... we're just not good at it" 😂😂😂

#bringbackthebroze
Gryffindors: We got all of the good guys. We got Harry Freaking Potter
Slytherin: We got all of the cool bad guys. We got Voldemort!
Hufflepuffs: Bro, we got Newt Scamander and Tonks. We all good, bro!
Ravenclaws: Hey, we got Lockhart and Quirrell. We also got Trelwany and Luna, both are kinda crazy. And we got Cho, an emotional breakdown machine. Yeah...
And, uh...and Flitwick who is one of, if not the best duelist and charms expert alive
Edit: And most, if not all, of Trelawney's prophecies were true.
How is Cho an emotional breakdown machine tho, her boyfriend was murdered what did you guys expect?
Takarah Parker DONT YOU DARE SAY LUNA IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
um luna is better than anyone in the book
Yeah, and who says Hufflepuff’s are the underrated house?!?! J.K. Rowling said it’s the best house!
Ben: I'm not Ravenclaw
Also Ben: *spends almost 12 minutes defending Ravenclaw*
Here to represent and defend my house at all costs. No Ravenclaw slander will be tolerated 😭✊🏼
“Iguanas are basically squirrels for Florida” -Ben 2019😂
I DIED. 😂😂😂
(My sister lives in south FL and her property is absolutely overrun by iguanas...)
actually on J's vlog channel (Jonathan Carlin) he goes down to Florida for a week and says this in the vlog
I texted my friend that quote as quote of the day
“Where our raven claws at?”
Sitting in the corner of the bathroom with a book on their head crying.
We're right her girl. Right her!
Me though
Here
Pretty much.
How did you know? XD
Olivander is pretty good representation. He's brilliant and intellectually unusual because of his obsession. Ravenclaws love that. He's also a pretty important character since he was kidnapped and imprisoned for his knowledge and mastery.
I hate that Ravenclaws are labeled as the nerds, we are more than books and brains.
Exactly
Speaking As Someone That's Half Ravenclaw: We ARE Nerds. But That's Good,Because It Means We're At Least Interesting If Not Smart.
We kinda are, and I actually like being a nerd its being klever and liking old musik
Yea im a ravenclaw and i dont see myself as a nerd if I told someone I was a ravenclaw they would be surprised because were supposed to be "nerds" there are other aspects too being a nerd is fine but being labeled as "just a nerd" is not fine there is more to a person then just their iq level
I have no brains but I am a huge nerd and do love reading. Oh and hi fellow ravenclaws
As a ravenclaw I have to say, more like scream, " FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!!!!"
#ProudRavenclaw
Would have done the same thing if would not have woken up my entire family
Oh I’ve been saying it!
(I’m...a slytherin. #HousesSolidarity #BringBackTheBronze )
@@anonymousfellow8879 then you are an awesome slytherin
I was genuinely confused when I saw that the Ravenclaw uniform merch was silver and blue.
me: wait I could have sworn the colours were bronze and blue.
ThatWeirdOwlHatGirl I was confused because Slytherin's colors are silver and green
Me: wait doesn't Slytherin already use silver?
Gryffindor is the most hated house nowadays and i had a hard time accepting i was one just cuz of it. Can’t we all just love our house without bashing another? ❤️🦁 it’s srsly annoying
And do ravenclaw justice please, they deserve to be represented as well💙🦅
When I first read Harry Potter I was afraid of being in either Gryffindor or Slytherin because of the conflict and I didn't want people to think I wanted to be in the same house as the "good" characters. Thankfully I'm not fussed anymore.
Ollivander was a Ravenclaw how's that for representation 🤔
My house: Ravenclaw
How it's misrepresented: Everything said in this video.
I have a feeling that the all of the houses were overall better fleshed out in the fandom than in the books. Possibly because the books are more from Harry's P.O.V. I do wish we could see a fuller, richer representation of the houses from the series in general.
And yeah - the colours and house emblem being misrepresented to this extent is ridiculous! It's almost like when you're a kid, and you're writing test, and you're not sure of a spelling for a word, so you keep alternating between two (if not more) spellings, in the hope that at least one of them is right! :P
