okay-prongs:

an incomplete list of why harry is not a ravenclaw

— he thought the WIND blew him onto a roof

— he tried to pick letters falling from the ceiling instead of ones ALREADY ON THE GROUND

— he didn’t recognize the half-blood prince’s handwriting after literally seeing it on the board for five whole years

— receives a BROOM SHAPED PACKAGE and asks what it is

— asks seamus wtf he’s trying to do when seamus is literally saying the words to WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO OUT LOUD

— literally holds his hands out in chamber of secrets making it look like he’s the one levitating the cake

— diagonalfjjfjfjgkh

— decides to open a letter addressed to him in front of the durselys when they smart thing to do would have just been to ?? hide it ???

— went into the chamber of secrets with an clearly useless teacher and a broken wand when he KNEW that that roosters were fatal to the basilisk

— it never once occurred to him that, salazar slytherin, a parselmouth, founder of slytherin house, house with a snake for a mascot, would leave a snake in the chamber of secrets

— roonil wazlib. need i say more

— never made the connection that werewolf mcwerewolf always disappeared at the full moon and was sick after it

— thought it was smart to put his face into a bowl (pensive) filled with an unknown liquid

— performed numerous spells from the inside of a book without knowing what they would do

— never thought to make some liquid luck (or save the stuff he won) and go kill voldemort
