Ravenclaw values intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit. The house mascot is an eagle and the house colous are blue and bronze (blue and grey in the films). The house ghost is The Grey Lady. According to Rowling, Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to the element of air.
The dormitories are located in Ravenclaw Tower on the west side of the school it is round and filled with blue hangings and fat armchairs, has a domed ceiling painted with stars and features a replica statue of Rowena wearing her diadem. A logical riddle must be solved to gain entry, whereas the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin common rooms only require a password, indicating that it may be easier for those students from other houses who possess a high degree of intelligence to enter this common room than others.
