We may not have a football team, but we have a damn good Quidditch team.
I'm pretty sure we're the ones in the green capes.

HP House.
Ravenclaw values intelligence, creativity, wit, and wisdom. "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure" is an oft-repeated Ravenclaw proverb.[HP5][HP7] The house mascot is a raven, the house colours are blue and bronze (changed to blue and silver in the films). The head of this house is the Charms professor, Filius Flitwick, and the house ghost is The Grey Lady. According to Rowling, Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to the element of air. The founder of this house is Rowena Ravenclaw.
The dormitories are located in Ravenclaw Tower on the west side of the school. The common room, which went undescribed in the series until the climax of Deathly Hallows, is round and filled with blue hangings and fat armchairs, has a domed ceiling painted with stars, and also features a replica statue of Rowena wearing her diadem. Harry also notes that, by day, the Ravenclaws "would have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains." A logical riddle must be solved in order to gain entry, whereas the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin common rooms only require a password.

Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission.
That trailer makes me fangasm.
I usually hate when books are made into films because key points are usually lost or mistranslated, and the HP movies are no exception. However, the fourth and fifth movies (and most likely the 6th) are gorgeous; even though there are things missing and certain characters are overshadowed, the movies are fabulous in terms of cinematography. It's just one more thing that makes HP superior to Twilight--so much production goes into the movies and they're not just banged out in order to get money.
Also, I just love Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter.
