I searched the archives and unbelievable cannot find anything on 
this.  I see on the Lexicon that Ravenclaw's house mascot is listed 
as the Eagle and not a Raven.  I am searching for canon to confirm 
the true mascot of the House.   Does anyone have any references they 
can point me towards that I am missing and not recalling?

Now me:
(SS Amer Ed. Pg 34) "Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of 
arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounding a large 
letter H."

(GoF Amer Ed. Pg 237) "Enormous silk banners bung from the walls, 
each of them representing a Hogwarts House; red with a gold lion for 
Gryffindor, blue with a bronze eagle for Ravenclaw, yellow with a 
black badger for Hufflepuff, and green with a silver serpent for 
Slytherin.  Behind the teachers' table, the largest banner of all 
bore the Hogwarts coat of arms; lion, eagle, badger, and snake 
united around a large letter H."

I've seen several responses to this post, but found two additional 
quotes, so I thought I'd chime in.
