Ravenclaw
Brainy wizard faction
Ravenclaw is one of four houses at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series, known for valuing intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and wit.
Students sorted into Ravenclaw are stereotyped as bookish or academically driven: She's such a Ravenclaw—always in the library.
Outside the fictional context, calling someone a Ravenclaw suggests they prize learning and cleverness.
