Mandy here:
There are two ravens that live in the Tower of London.  Legend says 
that if the Ravens leave the Tower, England will fall.  The country 
will be defeated and invaded.

Not quite sure how that would fit in Hogwarts though.  The Ravens, 
not being book canon haven't been established enough.  Fawlks might 
hold some kind of parallel symbolism with the Tower Ravens, rather 
than the raven in PoA/movie.

Cheers, Mandy
