Zitate und Sprüche über Ravenclaw

Our emblem is the eagle, which soars where others cannot climb; our house colours are blue and bronze, and our common room is found at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, behind a door with an enchanted knocker. The arched windows set into the walls of our circular common room look down at the school grounds: the lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and the Herbology gardens. No other house in the school has such stunning views.

The deserted Ravenclaw common room was a wide, circular room, airier than any Harry had ever seen at Hogwarts. Graceful arched windows punctuated the walls, which were hung with blue- and-bronze silks: By day, the Ravenclaws would have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. The ceiling was domed and painted with stars, which were echoed in the midnight-blue carpet. There were tables, chairs, and bookcases, and in a niche opposite the door stood a tall statue of white marble. Harry recognised Rowena Ravenclaw.

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw
if you've a ready mind
Where those of wit and learning
Will always find their kind

Another cool thing about Ravenclaw is that our people are the most individual – some might even call them eccentrics. But geniuses are often out of step with ordinary folk, and unlike some other houses we could mention, we think you've got the right to wear what you like, believe what you want, and say what you feel. We aren't put off by people who march to a different tune; on the contrary, we value them!

Ravenclaws are famous for clambering over each other to get good marks.

In Ravenclaw you'll find learning is prized above all else - and why not? Quite a clever lot, they are in Ravenclaw, and very interesting.

Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.

If you don't like to read you haven't found the right book.

The dedication of this book is split seven ways: To Neil, to Jessica, to David, to Kenzie, to Di, to Anne, and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end.

We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.

Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

The most important thing is to read as much as you can, like I did. It will give you an understanding of what makes good writing and it will enlarge your vocabulary.

Once upon a time, there was a tiny country called Cornucopia, which had been ruled for centuries by a long line of fair-haired kings. The king at the time of which I write was called King Fred the Fearless. He'd announced the ‘Fearless’ bit himself, on the morning of his coronation, partly because it sounded nice with 'Fred', but also because he'd once managed to catch and kill a wasp all by himself, if you didn't count five footmen and the boot boy.

A lot of people say that Slytherins and Gryffindors represent two sides of the same coin.

But we're not bad people. We're like our emblem, the snake: sleek, powerful, and frequently misunderstood.

Speaking of eccentrics, you'll like our Head of house, Professor Filius Flitwick. People often underestimate him, because he's really tiny (we think he's part elf, but we've never been rude enough to ask) and he's got a squeaky voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable Charms master alive in the world today. His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw with a problem, and if you're in a real state he'll get out these delicious little cupcakes he keeps in a tin in his desk drawer and make them do a little dance for you. In fact, it's worth pretending you're in a real state just to see them jive.

My aim is to win the World Cup before I die.

Our emblem is the lion, the bravest of all creatures; our house colours are scarlet and gold, and our common room lies up in Gryffindor Tower.

Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves. Our house colours are yellow and black, and our common room lies one floor below the ground, on the same corridor as the kitchens.

Our emblem is the serpent, the wisest of creatures; our house colours are emerald green and silver, and our common room lies behind a concealed entrance down in the dungeons. As you'll see, its windows look out into the depths of the Hogwarts lake.

Merlin was a Slytherin. Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in history!

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those whose ancestry is purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose intelligence is surest."
Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those with brave deeds to their name,"
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."

In times of old when I was new
And Hogwarts barely started
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted:
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning,
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.

By Gryffindor, the bravest were prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin loved those of great ambition.

You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness.

A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose name are still well-known:

Bold Gryffindor from wild moor,
Fair Ravlenclaw from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin from fen.

They share a wish, a hope, a dream,
They hatched a daring plan,
To educate young sorcerers,
Thus Hogwarts school began.

It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.

There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.

After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.

Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. "After all this time?"
"Always", said Snape.

It is the quality of one's convictions that determines success, not the number of followers.

But he was home. Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here.

Only the bravest and boldest dare to choose Gryffindor. Is that you? Best be sure.

I never thought my life would turn out to be anything but normal. Until the day I recieved a very curious letter.

Welcome, welcome, one and all
The show's about to start
I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And it's time to play my part
You may call me worn and ragged
If that's all you truly see
But listen close and I will tell where you're supposed to be
Go ahead and try me on
There's nothing left to fear
I'll find right where you belong by looking between your ears

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair.

Ron: "One person couldn't feel all that. They'd explode."
Hermione: "Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have!"

You're the weak one. And you'll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.

"Follow the spiders"... Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "follow the butterflies"?

"E" for "Exceeds Expectations". And I've always thought Fred and I should've got "E" in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question. One: He's sitting on my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name's Remus Lupin.

Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley, and that's saying something.

Being different isn't a bad thing. It means you're brave enough to be yourself.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

When dreaming we enter a world, that's entirely our own.

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
