hello welcome back to my channel how are you doing my Wizarding friends. I'm
Rebecca Felgate, your friendly neighborhood Slytherin and today I
wanted to make you a Ravenclaw Struggles video but the problem is is that I'm not
Ravenclaw so I haven't really had to suffer any of the struggles but luckily
I do know one keen keen Ravenclaw who might want to help out here! ACCIO RAVENCLAW
I've summoned her! this is Ravenclaw Ruth, you may recognise that from our Harry
Potter Hogwarts house challenge videos! Yeah! So you're a Ravenclaw?
I am a Ravenclaw and sometimes it is very hard! So Ruth is going to talk about
the struggles today... but before we get started on this video guys I just want
to let you know that I have started a patreon so if you want to support this
channel and it's magical videos then I'm going to leave a link to that in the
comment section down below..... I'm also gonna leave Raymond or Ruth's Twitter so
you can tweet her Ravenclaw things!
*mocking Ruth* Oooh I am a Ravenclaw and my life is so hard! Look at me point my wand... I'm so smart! Thanks for watching
So one of the biggest problems I come across is that people just assume that
I'm a recluse.... sure us Ravenclaw's do love to read a book. I have been a lifelong
lover of literature but I'm just as much about going to the Quidditch match or
off to our common room party as anyone else.... especially if my Slytherin friend
Rebecca leads me astray...but is true that you need a little bit of peace and quiet
if you're gonna be really getting into that novel and during a Quidditch match
the library and common room tends to be really quiet so the perfect time to
delve into the story! Oh one other problem is that you just never get a
lie in! I mean I'm a pretty early riser anyway along with all the other
Ravenclaw's; we want to get going in mornings... but when that Sun rises in the
tower we're always the first to be woken up by it so a lie in is just not an option.
another mistake people always tend to make is to assume that our house emblem is a raven...
It's not a raven.... it's an eagle.
so after a hard day of study... I've been in lessons all morning, as I mentioned earlier I got woken up pretty
early....well all you want to do is climb those stairs and get into bed but
you have to answer a riddle to get into the common room! And sure we are the
smartest house, we're very clever and we do usually love a riddle but when you're
tired sometimes it's really hard and you just you can't get the answer okay! I wish
that eagle would just sometimes just pipe down!
And speaking of walking up all those steps to the common room, sometimes I do
kind of wish we could just apparate in the castle! It's good for the cardio,
it's good for the legs but sometimes it's just real tiring.
Okay nerd rant alert! Sometimes I just want to be able to study 24 hours a day
okay and Hogwarts is supposed to be a place of learning, one of the best
wizarding schools in the world and yet we can't go into the library 24 hours a
day? Are you joking! Sometimes people don't take that
seriously enough! We're here to learn and I want to have access to all the books I
need anytime ....and what is going on with the restricted section? Okay maybe some
other houses shouldn't be allowed access to it if you know what I mean.... but we
should be we're Ravenclaw's we're in there for the intellectual information! I
mean obviously I'm not gonna try and make a Horcrux !
sometimes in history of magic class when we have to take it with all of those non-Ravenclaws cause it's a
mixed class, I'm just like catch up.... this is going so slowly! okay let's talk
about Hermione for a second.... she is considered to be apparently one of the
smartest witches of all time. she only stood out because she was smart for a
Gryffindor... all the Ravenclaw's are as smart as Hermione and probably smarter.
Also people do always want to copy our homework they know we're the smartest
and when they're lagging a bit behind in their grades, were the first people
they come to. Hey Ruth! What are you reading? History of magic. Oh did you actually do the
reading for that I forgot....I did it twice.
Oh...twice.Wow....can you like paraphrase I know we have
mystery magic next... I haven't read the book so I figure just give me a
quick cliff notes. Like could you just tell me and catch me up
real quick. You can't copy my homework guys. You can't copy my homework guys.
This does apply to some other houses as well but we're always typecast
as one specific type. Sure we're all clever book smart or intelligent we're
witty... we do have other things going for us as well! A lot of Ravenclaw's are
actually very creative they're most happy when they're creating something
we're also the most tolerant and open-minded house. You know, we don't
necessarily go in for the clickyness or what's the trend right now. Whoever
you are and whoever we are we're happy to to be friends. One of my personal
worst things is that people always assume you know the answer to every questions
guys I am a Ravenclaw...I am not an encyclopedia I don't have every fact in
my brain right now but I can go look it up in a book if I need to. Sometimes someone will come in
they want to ask me a random question and if I don't know the answer they're
never gonna let me forget it!
Okay so a lot of my friends are Gryffindor's... they're a
house I have a lot of love for but what is it
with them always winning everything! We're always beaten by them in the house
cup! we win our points fair and square through academic achievement and they
swooped in at the last minute with some daring-do.... I don't know what's going on!
I know you're saying and i do think it's very important that you get points of
being smart but i don't think you should just get Hogwarts House point to being
smart like being cunning is a really good thing too and you should get points
for that! I agree I think ambition is important as well.
I agree .....see this is why Slytherin and Ravenclaw's make such good
friends...So I feel like I've learned a little bit about the Ravenclaw
struggles you go through I had no idea life was so hard for you ...it must be
really difficult being top of the class and succeeding in everything and no one
thinking that you're evil! Thank you very much
to Ruth for joining us in this video if you want to see more of her let
me know in the comment section down below also feeling quite positive about
your return to the next house challenge.... I hope so! Yeah It's
gonna be good! So I am Rebecca Felgate, your friendly neighborhood Slytherin and
I'm Ruth the Ravenclaw and we will see you next time
