Chapter 49 About the setting of Ravenclaw
I've read a lot of feedback on my Ravenclaw settings in the past few days, and after thinking about it, I did make a mistake in the order.
Ravenclaw is wise enough. I originally wanted to use Helena's memories to illustrate the greatest essence of Ravenclaw - tolerance.
It is the tolerance born of wisdom, because wisdom sees enough and far enough, so it is tolerant - not the unity and kindness of Hufflepuff, but the tolerance of different opinions and development.
So according to what the Sorting Hat said, all wise people can find like-minded people in Ravenclaw.
This was a more antagonistic group than Hufflepuff, and differences gradually arose until they parted ways. But everyone is using their own wisdom to find their own way. Because of tolerance, Ravenclaw can accommodate those with different paths. Because of wisdom, those with different paths will never be easily persuaded.
I was thinking about Luna when I was finishing the last chapter, and then I realized that Ravenclaw should indeed have bad guys - because Ravenclaw has to accommodate a bunch of more thoughtful wizards, it shouldn't be a peaceful place. Where there is anger, it should be in a state similar to the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period.
It should have as many groups as the Spring and Autumn Period, some good and some bad, fighting for what they pursue, and sending the discordant ones to Azkaban.
It is for this purpose that Ravenclaw Academy allows those who have pursuits to confront and communicate with each other so that their wisdom can produce more dazzling knowledge.
Therefore, it must have careerists like Lockhart and authoritarians like Rita, because they are indeed using their own wisdom to pursue what they think is important - just like the opinions produced in the Spring and Autumn Period are not all the essence. .
Therefore, some Ravenclaws think they are wrong and think it is inevitable that they should go to Azkaban - isn't that what Ravenclaws should be like?
Because of tolerance, Ravenclaw has Lockhart and Rita, but they also have Millicent Barnold (the Minister of Magic who persisted in fighting Voldemort to victory). Will all the Ravenclaws be because of Rita? Or proud of Lockhart? How is it possible--so, Ravenclaw's tolerance can allow people with obviously different actions and opinions to come in, but there will definitely be a large number of rejectors inside.
This kind of tolerance can even unite them when they collectively reject one thing - such as the selection of warriors in the Goblet of Fire, but this does not affect the desire to send each other to Azkaban afterwards.
There is no doubt that Professor Flitwick, the dean, is in line with the concept of tolerance - of course, it may also be due to the fact that the original book describes too little.
That is to say, under the greatest concept of tolerance, I started various weird people in Ravenclaw - but it seems that I have used too much force at the moment, and even need to explain it specifically, because I couldn't write the concept out at the beginning.
However, I think Ravenclaw should be like this, pursuing wisdom and knowledge, daring to strike hard at those in the same house, and daring to strike normally at those in the same school - I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more.
Chasing results? Good score? Unity and harmony? It's nice, but too small... Ravenclaw is partly like that, but it can't just be that.
Dare to discuss the future of the wizarding world, consider the future of wizards, seek reasonableness in all kinds of chaos, dare to say no, dare to prove it in every way after firm belief and goal - including but not limited to including Ravenclaw. students sent to Azkaban.
Well, Ravenclaw does.
