I think he was much like Helena Ravenclaw, who stole her mother's diadem instead of earning a reputation of her own.

Why was Lockhart in Ravenclaw? I don't see any qualities of Slytherin in Lockhart. He might have been a bad person but that doesn't immediately make him have Slytherin qualities. He wrote books on many subjects even household cleaning. He did seek knowledge because he actually went out and found the witches and wizards who actually did the things he wrote about. And, he very logically assumed that the books would not have sold nearly as much if people didn't think that he wrote them because those people were unattractive and didn't nearly have as much charm as him.

I don't think Rowling once mentions the school house of any of her adult characters outside of some the relatives of the kids. The Head of any House was a student from that House, but that's about it for any sure thing. It seems once you're out of school, nobody gives a hoot what House you belonged to. The Houses seem to be a schoolkid thing, left behind when you leave school and only important if you want you're kids to go to that House. Probably works the other way as well. If you hated the House you were in, you probably don't want your kids in it. I don't think Luna would worry too much if her kids didn't get sorted into Ravenclaw. |

To me, that is how I imagine Ravenclaw House: a heterogeneous mixture of intelligences, as well as those who simply aspire for intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (which I perceive as 3 very separate ideals). Thus, I would expect the House to be very dynamic and often paradoxically contradicting. I think the Head of House, Professor Flitwick, is an excellent display of how all of those characteristics are mixed into a single individual. Not only does he appear incredibly "book smart" and knowledgeable, but he also has a very open mind and, to me, seems like he would be quite philosophical. Quote:

Discussion of Gilderoy Lockhart belongs in the Gilderoy Lockhart:Character Analysis thread.

The problem with Ravenclaw is that we haven't seen a lot of them so we're left grasping at straws though we do have some details. That being said, open-mindedness might be a Ravenclaw trait but it does not mean that every single Ravenclaw must have it. Wit, a love for knowledge, curiosity, or open-mindedness individually might be enough to land one in Ravenclaw though, of course, it is more likely to be put in Ravenclaw if you have several of these qualities.

It doesn't seem that Luna's open mind that is completely non-discriminating in regards to evidence and proof would be typical of Ravenclaws. |
