Luna Lovegood, for example, was one such student: eccentric to put it at its mildest, she was a Ravenclaw student who initially was bullied for her open defiance of conventionality, but ultimately became a celebrated wizarding naturalist and renowned for her participation in the legendary Battle of Hogwarts and past membership in Dumbledore's Army. Some of these eventually also ended up being not only accepted but even celebrated, in spite of being initially subjected to scorn for their various oddities. Often hard-working and diligent, as often was the case with intellectuals with a predisposition for academics, some of the pupils sorted under the blue-bronzed eagle were known to be inclined to dismiss certain social expectations for the sake of satisfying their own intellectual curiosity. Hermione Granger, an extremely intelligent witch and the top student in her year, was sorted into Gryffindor, though she admitted that the Sorting Hat had seriously considered placing her in Ravenclaw. It was not unusual to find Ravenclaw students practising especially different types of magic that other houses might shun. They also prided themselves on being original in their ideas, and methods. Thus, many Ravenclaws tended to be academically motivated and talented students. Ravenclaw House prized learning, wisdom, wit, and intellect in its members. Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw " Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." - Rowena Ravenclaw's motto
