Description Finally finished the rest of the Ravenclaw common room that I've been working on! Here it is!

In case you haven't seen it, the first part of this concept art, with the fireplace and entrance in perspective, can be seen here: [link]

So this is the rest of it.

As it is with the previous parts, I've kept everything absolutely canon. By this, I first and foremost mean that Ravenclaw colours are supposed to be blue and bronze, not silver. There's a glass cupboard close to the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw (as was seen the time when Luna and Harry were hiding under the Invisibility Cloak in the Deathly Hallows). There's the diadem on Rowena's head. And apparently, her statue, which is on a raised plinth, is supposed to show her as beautiful but intimidating. At least Harry thought so, but he's a Gryffindor.

I'm not quite sure about the doors/doorways to the dorm rooms, though. If I had only read this chapter, without the common knowledge that distinct entrances are supposed to lead to the separate girls' and boys' dorm rooms, I would probably have understood that there is only one door. A door behind which lots of footsteps could be heard when the students flocked down from their rooms after Luna stunned Alecto Carrow before the students actually appeared... But it might have just meant a doorway and the footsteps were heard from above, so... And I mean maybe the dormitories are only separated in the Gryffindor tower, or they don't happen to be separated (or not right at the stairs) in the Ravenclaw Tower.

Either way: this is how I've had it in mind.

I'm pretty sure we have these dapper coffee trolleys scattered around the room. With coffee available at all times. And vintage magazine racks and coat hangers, as seen in the previous drawing.

Just one more thing and I'll finish my over-enthusiastic, obsessive rambling: the raised platform area isn't canon, I know, but I think it's always been an essential part of my concept of the room, just based on the fact that Ravenclaws, by house values, produce the most students participating in art in any form and I mean Flitwick is the choir conductor! I'm convinced we do improptu performances in the common room every once in a while, be it a choir piece, a play, or whatever our exhibitionist housemates are involved in. Aestetically it'd also create a nice counter-pole to the matlepiece.


The technique is fine pen lineart coloured digitally.

Also: a hearty thank you to my boyfriend, from Gryffindor, for suggesting the gorgeous galaxy on the concave ceiling and a big shoutout to both my sister who just got sorted into Slytherin and her boyfriend, a fellow Ravenclaw! Welcome to Hogwarts!

The Common Room seems so cozy! Love the windows with cushions, so I can sit next to it, and draw/ read. And the stage, with all of Ravenclaw's witty and quirky students, is probably one of the funniest and interesting places in Hogwarts.

Ah, you're just so freaking awesome!
I loved the previous drawing, and I love this one even more! You've a rich imagination, girl!
I truly, truly love it! And I completely agree about the trolleys! And I loved the idea of the ceiling!
My favourite picture of the Ravenclaw common room, and I've seen so many of them!
(I'm planning on writing a fanfiction, and wanted to search for other people's opinion about how our Common Room should look like)
Awesome job

This is a beautiful common room! I love the enchanted ceiling and the statue on the raised platform. But I really think that the bookshelves along the side and the piano really make this rendition of the common room for me. It's a point I never really thought about, but aside from being a bunch of bookworms, the Ravenclaws probably would be most inclined towards the arts and Flitwick IS the choir conductor so impromptu performances, practices, and other artistic ventures are probably definitely in order!

Thank you for making me feel a little less surrounded by cold-hearted, cut-throat, genius-brained competition. <3

This Ravenclaw approves

Thank you so much for the comment, I love how you really noticed things and took your time to write this amazing feedback, it really means a great deal to me. And the fact you as a Ravenclaw approve and that I've made you rethink you idea of the characteristics house is great! Don't let them tell you we're dry bookworms. Ravenclaw pride all the way!
