"Wit beyond measure is a man's greatest treasure."

Harry Potter Quote!
Wow, its been awhile since I've done one of these, most of the time I focus on love and all that rot. Anyhow; I love Harry Potter! I am a massive Potterhead and very proud to be one! I frankly love this quote, I think J.K. Rowling is a literary genius, simply because she brought us these amazing books.
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." I love that, because it's so true. It's a Ravenclaw quote, so even though I am generally annoyed by the house of Ravenclaw this would be the only thing besides Luna to ever really come out of that house that I really like.

I think, that you can be as tough as anything, but if you don't know how to use it, then what good is it? Wit, knowing how to get yourself out of trouble, just by talking, or coming up with something clever.
I know plenty of people who can do this, and frankly they are some of my best friends, so let me just tell you, there is nothing wrong with a house full of smarty pants, in fact they are quite entertaining! They are able to hold good conversations and challenge your thinking and such. They make the world seem interesting.
I am honestly, not the biggest fan of this house. I don't know why, but some of the people that can be sorted into this house, can be very.. well how should I put this, annoying.
(Small backstory, I, being a potterhead, tend to sort people into the Hogwarts houses. I know several annoyingly smart people, (Ravenclaws), some very brave people (Gryffindors) hard workers and genuinly good people (Hufflepuffs) Then there are people like me, quite nasty sometimes, but are generally resourceful, cunning, but with a sense of great ambition. if you couldn't tell I am a Slytehrin and I am very happy to be one.)
((Now if you can't tell from this post, I am a major nerd and I love to just show my knowledge of the topic.))
Anyways back the the topic at hand. RAVENCLAW; wit above all else, great trait, it really is, to be able to think lightly on your feet and to actually have that sense of knowledge that not many people do.
I love to think that Luna Lovegood was really the best representation of Ravenclaw, as scatterbrained as she could be, (ex. loosing shoes, dressing up, wearing strange glasses.) she really was the best ravenclaw, she knew what it was to be humble as well as intelligent, and she is one of my favorite people in all the books.

Anyways, long, (very long story short.) Wit, (in my opinion is much preferred) to being all braun, I would rather be friends with someone who can have a conversation with me, and MAKE IT INTERESTING! so thank you very much reading this very long (sort of long) post about my second least favorite Hogwarts house. As much as I love it.. (which I barely do) Luna was the only good thing to come out of it. because i mean come on people, even Ravenclaws own daughter gave Riddle the Diadem.. so heres to that. But, when I think of Ravenclaw, I think of the sweet little Luna Lovegood and how she basically made up for the whole house.
