"Why Credence definitely won't survive"
Well that's depressing.

Honestly Ravenclaw is the most overlooked house. The only big famous Ravenclaw is Luna (not complaining about having her though), while the other houses are either heroes, villains, or stars of spinoff movies. We get nothing besides being the smart house. Our merch isn't even the right colors, and nobody gets our animal right. The official Harry Potter merch is blue and silver with a raven. WE ARE BLUE AND BRONZE WITH AN EAGLE!

JK Rowling is calling the other producers right now -
“CODE RED, EVERYONE!!! The SuperCarlinBrothers just revealed half the plot”

[aj_hew]

Yeah you're right we Ravenclaw's really do get like NO recognition in the books outside of Luna and Cho

Aberforth loves goats because Ariana used to help him feed them, that's why it's his patronus.

"Hi, snake!"
"Hi, raven!"
"Imma pick you up"
"I prefer you didn't"
"Too late! I gotcha"
"Imma bite you now"

The Bloody Baron and Helena Ravenclaw was not romantic pursuit...it was him being an obsessive stalker and it's actually really dark to think about because she has to spend eternity in purgatory with her obsessive stalker

Snake beats raven, hmm... You know who beats snake? A honey badger

[aDifferentJT]

Actually the lesson to be learned from that fable is not from the raven but from the snake. The snake is currently being carried by the raven pretty high up, then the snake bites the raven and falls to its death. Hence why the snake “curse[s] himself for being such a fool, as to meddle with a purchase that had cost him his life.”
n.b. Purchase here means grip not acquisition.

“Hi snake”
“Hi raven”
“Imma pick you up”
“Mmmm I prefer ya didn’t”
“Too late! I gotcha!”
“Imma bite ya now”

I remember a lot of Korean stories(Hi I’m Korean) about a man falls for a beautiful girl but she turns out to be a snake lady and the snake lady wants to eat and kill the man and it turns out a: the man kills the snake or b: the man’s dying love for the snake lady leads him on a quest to lift the curse and they live happily ever after. She’s a korean character so I think its gonna connect somehow

One thing I've always pondered about Nagini, is what if she isn't actually that bad. But is infact affected by Voldimort's soul since she is a horcrux as well. Similar to how Harry was affected by being an unknown horcrux.

[V.nu]

I’m pretty sure the message of the fable was to do with the fact that the snake killing the Raven ended in both of them dying as the raven was no longer able to carry the snake while dead so the snake fell from a great height and died.

8:07 I've said it before and I'll say it again (because I've basically made it my mission in life to answer this question every time I stumble across it on the interwebs) --- Aberforth loves goats because of Arianna.

As we all know, Arianna was his Obscurial sister who he absolutely adored and who is the main point of contention between him and Albus. He was her favorite, and he could talk her down from her rages, and get her to eat when their mother couldn't. And they used to feed the goats together. That was their thing, that was the thing he did to really bond with his beloved sister.

And then Albus and his pal Grindelwald stupidly got her killed. This could have all been avoided if *Brian* over here would've just let Abs leave school and take care of her. They could've gone on raising goats together for the rest of their lives, bro and sis, but NOOOO. *Brian* had to be man of the house. *Brian* had to be special. *Brian* had to travel the world and recklessly endanger their delicate sister.

So the years go on and Aberforth hangs onto his memories of feeding the goats with Arianna. And his Patronus turns out to be a goat, and then one day, clinging to these powerful memories of feeding the goats with his sister, he decides to do something a little reckless. He decides to try to transfigure one of the goats *into* his sister. And Rita Skeeter spins it like some foul bestiality SNAFU, but it was honestly just a grieving brother trying to cope.

Like, seriously, if either of you had a pet that you bonded over and then one of you died a horrible death, and the remaining brother had the ability to turn that pet into the dead brother, you can't tell me you wouldn't get really drunk one night and try. I've got 3 siblings, I know better.

*THAT'S* what is up with Aberforth and goats. Now go forth and make that video :)

I really like the fable because it gets at the danger behind every house.
Gryffindor's bravery can lead to brashness/foolhardiness.
Slytherin's cunning/ambition can lead to ruthlessness.
Hufflepuff's kindness can lead to emotion over reason (hence their reputation as "duffers").
Ravenclaw's intelllect can lead to tampering with forces that shouldn't be tampered with.

[TheMrwa]

Well, however sad it is, this does sound plausible, no, even more, very possible. So, good job! I guess... so many mixed feelings.

A *Ravenclaw* here; thanks... wink, wink, such smart, much alive.

[thelesbeean]

But don't forget that at the end of each of these stories the 'snake' ends up dying:
The Bloody Baron kills himself;
The snake who bit the raven will plummet to his death;
Slytherin never actually win the quidditch world cup.
So will the snake girl also die?
I have SO many questions
