However, bears had long been extinct in Scotland by the time that Rowena Ravenclaw helped found Hogwarts around 990 AD. Thus, the "blue and silver" Ravenclaw colors in the Harry Potter films are more accurate to real-life British heraldry than "blue and bronze", as well as more traditionally "British" in background and context. The updated ...
Making it blue and silver makes Ravenclaw read as just "cool blue" when compared to the fiery Griffindor colors, the reptilian green of Slytherin, and the predominant cheery gold of Hufflepuff. It essentially makes each house have one identifying tone, which pops on screen and is immediately legible.
This is a topic that frequently comes up in the Ravenclaw common room, but I'm curious to hear what other houses think. For those who don't know, the movies' Ravenclaw crest is blue and silver, whereas the book crest is blue and bronze. Pottermore crest (book colors) Example of non-Pottermore book crest.

The carpet of the Ravenclaw common room is described as "midnight blue" (DH29), but I don't know that's supposed to be indicative of the house in general. In fact, I'm pretty certain that every reference to the Ravenclaw colors is simply "blue" in the books (despite the fact that JKR uses colors like "bright blue" or "midnight blue" or ...
Ravenclaw colours, in book cannon, are Blue and Bronze. The Bronze was changed to silver for film reasons. In part, I'm sure, due to the fact that it's hard to find a bronze fabric that actually LOOKS bronze, instead of copper/gold/brown.
When I did the studio tour outside of London, I learned that they changed the Ravenclaw colors stating that blue and bronze do not work well together on film. No mention of dumping the eagle for a raven though. I can understand changing the colors for better visibility on film, but it’s still annoying.
In the books the colors are blue and bronze, but in the films they are blue and silver. I'm guessing they changed it because blue and silver look better together, but silver is Slytherin's color. Unless the Ravenclaw colors in the films are supposed blue and white, which makes sense (blue sky with white clouds) and it contrasts with Hufflepuff ...
I like blue and silver together, but for Ravenclaw I prefer bronze. I believe they changed it so that three quarters of the houses didn't have a yellowish shade, leaving Slytherin the odd one out. Unfortunately, of all the houses, Ravenclaws are the most likely to be bothered by the change.
Ravenclaw merch was blue and silver with a raven when the films came out. Especially following the establishment of the universal studios HP parks, WB has a grip on Potter merch. This, plus the fact that a considerably large number of people aren’t too bothered about sticking to book canon and like the movie merch, means that it’s sort of ...
I actually prefer the reduced and more realistic style in the trailer to the cozy and somewhat stuffy colorful versions in the artwork. Ravenclaw‘s element is air so the Common room should be airy and lofty imho. And not stuffed with bookshelves.
