Hah! Knew it'd be Ravenclaw (like it wasn't completely obvious ;-) ). Nice to see her with the diadem... must really get one for Halloween or something. :-)

I'm so glad that it's finally Ravenclaw, she's my favorite
of the founders! And I bet that broken heart of hers has
something to do with her daughter (Helena/The Gray Lady).
I see the Diadem. :)

I thought Rowena Ravenclaw might be the wizard of the month. She is the last of the founders who has not been the wizard of the month yet.

I was waiting for her to be next because its been the 4 Founders so far.
plus she had a HUGE part in Deathly Hallows so this honor should go to her.

I want to know who broke her heart. Salazar? Godric? Sir Nicholas? It's probably a juicy story.

Oooh, I wonder who will be next month's WOM? I'm tossing up between Voldemort and Harry. Jo did say on her webchat that both Harry and Ron end up on Chocolate Frog cards, so it could be one of them - I would assume Harry first.

Fat Lady Sings and TheSeventhHorcrux, sorry, I just read your above comments - SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T FINISHED DEATHLY HALLOWS:
I assume her broken heart was because her daughter Helena stole the diadem, then when she sent the Bloody Baron (we never did find out his real name, did we?) to bring her back, both of them ended up dead. So she lost her daughter, and in a way, brought about her death herself by sending the Baron after her, as he killed her. Just what I assume to be the case.

A brilliant mind brought down because of love? Hmmm... That sounds slightly familiar, I think. =D

jones_jj says:
I wonder if the broken heart was due to the fact that she may have been slightly disappointed at what her daughter did?
I can't believe it's already August. Where has this year gone?

Wow - that was a really interesting background that we got of Ravenclaw in Deathly Hallows - the whole debacle with the Bloody Baron ... very interesting!
Happy birthday!
