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.
