25 Great Films for Ravenclaws: Part 1

20 min readMar 6, 2020

When it comes to music, literature, the arts, science, or even basic common sense — most Hogwarts Houses possess almost little to no knowledge. The only House that brings a little character to Hogwarts is Ravenclaw. I consider Ravenclaw the best of all the four Hogwarts houses. We value traits such as intelligence, creativity, curiosity, wisdom, acceptance, eccentricity, wit, intellect, knowledge, individuality, and resourcefulness. Some really great movies celebrate these traits. We may not be as mainstream as Gryffindor or Slytherin, but our intelligence. individuality, imagination, creativity, & wit makes us a unique bunch and a force to be reckoned with. All who are sorted into Ravenclaw soar high to all places with our talents. At first, I never acknowledged it, but now I realize it’s where I truly belong. If you’re looking to broaden your mind or get smarter, here are some movies just for you.

25. The Pagemaster (1994)

This is the story of a young boy named Richard Tyler, who spouts statistics about the possibility of accidents. So much so, he is scared to do anything that might endanger him, like riding his bike or climbing into his treehouse. While riding his bike home, Richard finds shelter from a storm inside a nearby library. Richard slips and is knocked unconscious while exploring a rotunda in the library. Upon awakening, he is led on a journey through conflicts and events that resemble fictional stories, keeping him from finding the exit from the library.

Richard is definitely a Ravenclaw, but definitely the worst kind. He embodies all of the stereotypes that people have been saying about us all the time.

24. Indignation (2016)

Indignation simply means anger provoked by something perceived as unfair treatment and that’s what happens to the main lead Marcus in this Phillip Roth beautiful adaptation.

Thought-Provoking themes and survival in a society where there exists no individuality — Stating it simply this film proves even its set in 1950s society doesn’t follow well with change. Marcus played by Lerman considers himself to be an atheist and wants to stay that way. There are many things that he finds difficult to chose from like joining jew fraternity club, love life, sexual awakening, relationship with his father, conversation with the Dean of college. Unable to conform to these changes his life deteriorates and it’s something that anyone who doesn’t go all the way with beliefs of society and very well understand. All this is represented very beautiful manner. I don’t want to say much about the themes as you should watch it yourself to draw meaning from them. I was wondering how the film started it must be going somewhere, it went and delivered more than I expected. The themes it tackles especially of individual freedom and independence is something even many people struggle with within today’s society. The way society wants you to make them their carbon copy only makes it harder. Apart from that the film also takes a genuine take on Human Character like Marcus Father worrying about him or How the slit wrist mark on Marcus love interest was not seen by him as he has no intention of that type but was quickly seen by his mother which at that moment hated her stating it’s her weakness that will drown Marcus which I strongly object to. There are far more things and if you are an atheist it’s of your interest.

23. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Mankind finds a mysterious, obviously artificial, artifact buried on the moon and, with the intelligent computer HAL, sets off on a quest. “2001” is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon’s surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and humans (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be. Like a Circle around the human condition, 2001 starts at the beginning, skips the middle, and proceeds to the ending, right back where we started. Noting the weakness of words compared to image(s), Kubrick wisely dispenses with dialogue, preferring the power and essence of the scenery, and allowing the intelligence of the audience to do the deciphering. Or not, depending on the audience. A monolith in cinematic history, 2001 is a high watermark of direction, execution, and achievement. If one considers the ambition of the film (a film about everything), and the measure of success the film achieved to that end, a very sound argument for this being the greatest of all films can be made.

22. Pi (1998)

This surrealist psychological thriller film, which was written and directed by Darren Aronofsky, follows an unemployed number theorist named Max who suffers from cluster headaches, paranoia, hallucinations, and social anxiety disorder. The film is notable for covering themes ranging from religion, mysticism, and the relationship of the universe to mathematics. Max becomes obsessed with these themes to find the key to the chaos that surrounds us everywhere, which he can use to predict anything, such as the stock market.

An introduction to these themes is extremely interesting, but I’ve found that the real takeaway from this movie is the dangers of constantly looking for something that may not be there. No matter how educated and informed you are, you can’t always predict what’s going to come next.

21. Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events (2004)

Before the Netflix Series that we know and love, there was the classic 2004 A Series Of Unfortunate Events movie made for kids. It’s weird but it’s one of my secret favorite movies. “A Series of Unfortunate Events” is a wickedly grotesque film based on a well-known book. One can even classify it as a horror movie meant for the whole family. Brad Silberling extensively uses black humor and does not fall into excessive sentimentalism. The film maintains a specific atmosphere of mystery and horror. The flick is visually stunning and artistic. In particular, set design and cinematography are just mindblowing. Also, the credits at the beginning and the end of the movie are done with great reverence. I was amazed and had my eyes glued to the screen throughout the movie. The film probably wouldn’t be so superb, if it weren’t for Jim Carrey. His Count Olaf is simultaneously insane and extremely villainous. His appearance triggered off a suspicious smile on my face. Besides, Meryl Streep (Aunt Josephine) who exhibits her comedy talent here is as always great. “A Series of Unfortunate Events” is unpredictable, avoids repetitions, and keeps in suspense.

20. Amadeus (1984)

The composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) had the great misfortune of having a career at the same time as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). And how can a perfectly good composer compete with the greatest composer of all time? By descending into jealous madness, that’s how. In this Academy Award-winning drama, Salieri acts upon his resentment of Mozart’s musical gift and sets into motion a scheme that’ll have tremendous consequences for both composers.

19. The Book Thief (2013)

Before the Second World War, after meeting her adoptive family and learning how to read and write, a girl falls in love with books which happen to become banned by the Nazis. While struggling in her new life, poverty being very common, she makes new and unexpected friends, one of them being a Jew hidden in her family’s basement, and starts “borrowing” books from a wealthy family which had a full library of them.

The girl’s life is presented dramatically with her strong emotions, her adventures, her losses, and gains. It’s tense in a lot of situations due to its harsh conditions, generated mainly by the upcoming war, but it manages to maintain suspense until the end. It’s hard to explain in a few words what happens but I can guarantee that it’s worth your time especially if you enjoy such movies with kids, which by the way, plays some great roles!

18. The Great Debaters (2007)

Melvin B. Tolson is the kind of educator who truly recognizes the remarkable power of knowledge. An outspoken Wiley College professor who boldly challenged the discriminatory Jim Crow laws of the 1930s, Tolson’s recognizes that his young debate students possess the spark of a new generation. Convinced that they could invoke great change if, given the confidence and tools needed to do so, the tireless educator implores his students to take responsibility for the future while furtively attempting to protect them from his clandestine role as an organizer for the Southern Tenant Farmers Union. Chief among Tolson’s promising young students is a 14-year-old prodigy named James Farmer, Jr. Farmer’s father, James Sr. is a renowned scholar and an important presence in the emerging student’s life. Yet despite his formidable reputation, James Sr. has not yet learned how to truly harness the power of knowledge through action and assertion. James Jr. has seen the raving effects of racism all around him and longs to live in a future where no one must be in fear simply because of the color of their skin. Other talented debaters on Tolson’s team include fiercely independent student Henry Lowe, and Samantha Brooke — the first-ever female ever to join the Wiley College debate team. While most educators may not have recognized the remarkable potential of assembling such a disparate team, Tolson’s unique vision truly sets him apart from the pack as the team begins to experience a series of consecutive victories on their road to challenging Harvard at the National Championships.

The Great Debaters soars with words and feelings. The movie is important and it’s deeply inspiring for it’s something from our nation’s not-so-distant past that we must not forget. Also, it is must-see viewing for students of all backgrounds. Finally, it is a wonderfully acted and directed movie and it has an important message to impart to the viewer, particularly students.

17. Tomorrowland (2015)

This movie really took a person’s imagination to a whole new level. The story was interesting and keeps a person engaged with what is happening. It was cool to see the power of imagination and how a simple thought could become something much bigger.

Frank Walker, played by George Clooney, was recognized for his limitless imaginative capability. It was going to one day change the world as it is. He was able to do just that. Walker was a genius scientist who made a certain discovery about Tomorrowland that would hold the key to changing the world. With the help from Casey Newton, played by Britt Robertson, Walker was able to travel to the city and unravel what he had discovered so long ago. This movie has a simple story, and it is ideal for those with a creative and innovative imagination. An excellent movie for Ravenclaw.

16. Blade Runner (1982)

It is the year 2019 and a company by the name of Tyrell Corp has started making replicants which are clones of human beings but with better physical abilities. Though they are illegal on earth, they are sent to colonies outside the earth. Deckard is a blade runner who kills these replicants but is planning to retire. Troubles arise when a few replicants have seized a spaceship and return to earth to find their creator. Deckard has no choice but to fight them.

Though this movie may seem old, the movie is packed with action and the visuals are definitely ahead of their time. The movie definitely has a lot of action but one of the best parts would be tears in rain. If you have already watched this movie, a sequel has also been released “Blade Runner 2049” starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

15. The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

Another Ravenclaw movie that celebrates eccentricity and being a genius. This was a quirky film that surprised me, in that I liked it….at least twice. By the third viewing, I had enough but I got my money’s worth out of it. That’s what I would recommend with this movie: rent it before considering buying it. It’s very different, and you might love it but also might hate it. What it is, simply, is a portrait of a very dysfunctional family and the father trying to re-connect with his kids after a long absence. Gene Hackman is the father, Angelica Huston the mother, and the wacko kids — and other assorted strange characters — are played by Ben Stiller, Owen and Luke Wilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray, and Danny Glover.

This is mostly dry, dark humor with some funny lines delivered in a deadpan style. Nobody is particularly likable but — with the possible exception of Paltrow’s character — are not really unlikeable either. They are just strange. I enjoyed viewing the house with all its colors. For those who appreciate low-key absurd humor and some pleasing visuals, you should like this film and I certainly recommend giving it a look.

14. A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Inspired by the bestselling biography of Nobel Prize-winning economist and mathematician John Forbes Nash, Jr., this Academy Award-winning film focuses on the discovery of the Nash Equilibrium, which as Investopedia explains, “is a concept of game theory where the optimal outcome of a game is one where no player has an incentive to deviate from his chosen strategy after considering an opponent’s choice.”

That may sound confusing, but economists have used this theory to “work out how competing companies set their prices, how governments should design auctions to squeeze the most from bidders, and how to explain the sometimes self-defeating decisions that groups make.” Furthermore, the “Nash equilibrium helps economists understand how decisions that are good for the individual can be terrible for the group.”

13. Agora (2009)

Agora is a really engaging film looking at the clash of Christians & Pagans in 4th Century Roman AD. The loss of ancient knowledge and destruction by ignorant violent mobs Hypatia, a female mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer in 4th century AD Roman Egypt — a most interesting historical character & the importance of tolerance and asking questions, the pursuit of knowledge (If Hypatia went to Hogwarts, she would be a Ravenclaw).

She was also a very interesting woman. She charted and cataloged celestial bodies, and invented the hydrometer, used to determine the relative density and gravity of liquids. She is most well known in mathematics for her work on conic sections, introduced by Apollonius, which divided cones into different parts by a plane, which developed the ideas of hyperbolas, parabolas, and ellipses. She edited the works On the Conics of Apollonius making them easy to understand, and thus allowing the work to survive the course of time.

This is a beautifully shot film as well, it’s a window of a lost society. I love Ancient History & was nice to see it brought to the screen. It’s just tragic to see the destruction of ancient knowledge by stupid mobs whipped up by crazy zealots just makes you wonder with the collapse of the Roman empire how much ancient knowledge was destroyed. As a Ravenclaw, that scene just makes me wanna cry.

12. Meet The Robinsons (2007)

The Robinsons are one weird family. It takes time to know them, and once you do, you will like them. They come from the future, filled with colorful buildings, flying jets, traveling tubes that would remind you of the Jetsons. Everyone is strange in their own way, from Frannie who conducts a frog band, Grandpa who wears his clothes backward, and twins Dimitri and Spike who stay in flower pots. Plus a talking robot like C-3PO.

In Back to the Future style, 13-year-old Wilbur Robinson brings a smart nerd Lewis to 2037 to recover his invention. Are you lost yet? Now, all these eccentric characters and stories can be quite hard to understand. Everything happens so fast, so don’t lose your attention. Once you get past the initial stage, everything falls nicely into place like a jigsaw in this intricate story. Although there isn’t one main character who will appeal to you like The Incredibles, the whole Robinson family will charm you the same.

Some critics may say Too many characters. Too much dialogue. Too confusing. Too many things happening at the same time. Indeed, there were points where young children may go “huh?”. Nevertheless, the singing frogs, big-headed dinosaur, colorful setting, and music from Danny Elfman make it all quite likable. With a strong “keep moving forward” educational message and a touching ending, this animation is recommended to families who will continue to enjoy this work from Disney. He would be very proud of this movie. He said: “Around here, we don’t look backward for very long. We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

11. Interstellar (2014)

Interstellar is not a perfect movie. It’s certainly not perfect from a filmmaking standpoint (the dirty secret is that no movie is), but for this discussion, it’s not perfect from a scientific standpoint. Some have argued that Interstellar’s own view of the end of the world is a bit too “Hollywood.” It expedites a process that could take millions of years to achieve a dramatic effect. Mostly, though, its imperfections can be traced back to the film’s attempts to address complex subjects such as wormholes.

For that, it’s hard to fault the movie. Interstellar tackles a field of science so complicated that even the world’s most intelligent minds continue to debate about it, and it does so with the kind of grace that you typically don’t associate with Hollywood blockbusters. Whatever faults may exist in the film’s science pale in comparison to Christopher Nolan’s construction of an elaborate disaster movie that actually does make you consider the implications of the science that is occurring on-screen.

10. Matilda (1996)

By the time she begins first grade, Matilda has already read Moby Dick and Pride and Prejudice. Stuck at home all day with her no good, dirty rotten, scamming family, Matilda’s mental prowess is floundering. In fact, the elementary schooler is so under-stimulated that she’s developed telekinetic powers. Soon, Matilda will use object-moving capabilities to take down the bullies at her school — the worst of whom is the headmaster, Miss Trunchbull — and forge a better future for herself than she could have at home.

9. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

Based on the novel written by Stephen Chbosky, this is about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs. The introverted freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors, Sam and Patrick, who welcome him to the real world.

8. The Greatest Showman (2017)

Not much about The Greatest Showman is based on reality, which is one of the musical’s principal charms. All of that aside, the musical is about the father of modern show business: P.T. Barnum. Barnum was able to identify humanity’s tendency to gawk at the difference and monetize that tendency through circuses and strange displays. Even if his freak shows were squirm-inducing, one must applaud his visionariness.

All of the songs in this movie, I believe, perfectly cater to all of the many different traits of Ravenclaw, especially the songs “This Is Me”, “Never Enough”, and “A Million Dreams”. P.T. Barnum may have had some of Slytherin’s ambition and resourcefulness, but he is a total Ravenclaw.

7. Rushmore (1998)

This is a love-or-hate-it kind of movie. I’ve watched this movie with people with a like-minded sense of humor and they always have a polarized reaction to it. Love it or hate it. Personally, it’s one of my all-time favorites. Max Fischer is the quintessential oddball kid. A phenom of extracurricular activities but still gets bad grades. He lacks social skills yet is bold enough to say what’s on his mind. In other words, Ravenclaw is the perfect House for Max. The genius of this film is how Anderson writes dialogue for his characters as adults but has kids saying the lines. Dirk steals the scenes as he confronts Bill Murray and spits on his car, plays a gun touting nun in Max’s version of “Serpico” and is the cigarette smoking point man in the final play. Anderson has a great talent for having his characters be odd, yet still plausible. He can really balance that mix, yet still, tell a story from his skewed reality. This movie is about the pain of growing up, the pain of loneliness, the happiness of friendship, the ugliness that we are all capable of, and ultimately for Max, redemption.

6. Inside Out (2015)

Yes. This is a Pixar film. But, as Charlie Jane Adams, one of the founders of i09 and author of the bestselling All The Birds in the Sky, explains, this story about a young girl named Riley struggling to adjust to moving to a new city “ is an extended metaphor for the changes that happen in your heart and mind as you grow up — the dueling emotions show the emotional states of a child, being supplanted and rearranged as you learn maturity.” The film also explores “the complexity of the ways that different emotions interact with each other.”

During the course of the film Riley’s emotions, Joy, Fear, Sadness, Disgust, and Anger, discover “how to manage more difficult situations, and to abandon their old assumptions about what kind of emotional state is best.” Additionally, “Inside Out” also explores “the ways that memories are stored in the brain, and how memories can change over time as you revisit them.”

Even though this is a kid’s film, those are all priceless lessons that entrepreneurs should learn during the course of their entrepreneurial journey.

5. WALL-E (2008)

The movie Wall-E is a touching work of science fiction. that manages to bridge the gap between child and adult. Wall-E is left abandoned on a decrepit planet Earth, with the directive of compacting and organizing the leftover trash. Having been alone for a great amount of time, his entire reality and purpose going to change. Bringing into perspective moral conflicts of consumerism and big business, the film displays an ominous conclusion for the Earth we live in today. All this stands in stark contrast to the robot himself, who demonstrates a loving personality and emotions such as curiosity, empathy, and loneliness. It is hard not to be drawn into Wall-E’s charm.

Viewers will undoubtedly be taken by the stunning graphics, amazingly detailed scenery, and creative characters. But for those looking for more, you will find a thought-provoking story that brings into question our behavior and responsibility on this planet. Definitely recommended for young and old alike…

4. Good Will Hunting (1997)

This Academy Award-winning film follows a janitor with genius-level intellect working at MIT with a troubled past. Good Will Hunting actually brought in an MIT professor for the complex mathematical equations, and there are also plenty of excellent literary and philosophical discussions between Will and Dr. Sean Maguire (Robin Williams), the most valuable lessons from “Good Will Hunting” are understanding that education can come from anywhere, there’s no such thing as “perfect,” and the importance of emotions and relationships.

3. Hidden Figures (2017)

As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women, known as “human computers”, we follow these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history’s greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Goble Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.

2. The Imitation Game (2014)

This film starring Benedict Cumberbatch (who usually ends up playing a Ravenclaw) tells the story of mathematician Alan Turing, a.k.a. the father of modern computing, as he assisted in a British code-breaking operation that helped shorten the Second World War.

Besides learning the history of Turning and how he laid the groundwork for computers and artificial intelligence by inventing a “universal machine,” “The Imitation Game” also celebrates human ingenuity, encourages you to think big, and inspires you to learn more about Turing and the machine and test that bear his name — which would come in handy if you’re involved in the tech industry. If Alan went to Hogwarts, he would definitely be a Ravenclaw.

1. The Theory Of Everything (2014)

The Theory of Everything is the story of the most brilliant and celebrated physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Wilde the arts student he fell in love with whilst studying at Cambridge in the 1960s. Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of age. He became galvanized, however, by the love of fellow Cambridge student, Jane Wilde, and he went on to be called the successor to Einstein, as well as a husband and father to their three children. Over the course of their marriage as Stephen’s body collapsed and his academic renown soared, fault lines were exposed that tested the lineaments of their relationship and dramatically altered the course of both of their lives.

Update: A Part 3 might be coming soon.

Ravenclaws are always in the background. Every house apart from them has had a major role to play in the HP universe. Sure, we got Luna but was she was only introduced in the last two books. Ravenclaws are way too overshadowed. They’re not just nerds and know-it-alls. They see the beauty in every little detail, see the work put into every piece of music, see the wonder in every piece of art. Ravenclaws are brave because they want to explore the unknown. They want to understand it. Humanity sees the unknown as something dangerous because we simply don’t understand it. Ravenclaws are courageous because they seek to understand. They are cunning because they see every outcome in every situation. They are kind because they understand emotion and empathy. They are wise because they take the time to listen. The universe can be a loud place, one that many see as too loud. They try to drown it out, they try to ignore it. The universe was made to be known, made to be wondered at, made to be understood. I‘ve always seen Ravenclaws as dreamers, hearing of new worlds and possibilities, and the excitement that comes with it. Wanting so badly to explore everything, to express their creativity and the beauty they see in the world. So because of this, they set themselves to reach for the stars, and become more. Ravenclaws see this and listen to what the universe has to say. You may not be a Ravenclaw like me or the many others on this planet. But now and again, listen to the universe. It will tell you things that no one will ever teach you.

I’m so proud to be a Ravenclaw. Stay blue!
