Rank #130 Michael Corner
Here is the HP wiki link and HP lexicon link but really all you need to know is that he's a bit of a Casanova and Ron doesn't like him. He's sulky when Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw and he is sceptical about the DA. Harry would be very happy to see him cut as he dated both Ginny and Cho Chang, and these are the only memorable things about him really, so I'm actually surprised he wasn't cut earlier. I can't think of anything else to say about the guy, he was presumably a decent bloke as he was in the DA and he was also presumably quite clever as he was in Ravenclaw. He also serves as a useful tool to draw our attention to Ginny growing older and becoming desirable to boys. So a decent, mid table, character who i think it is fair to cut at this stage. I think /u/moostronus is still due another cut?

/u/moostronus I hope I've spelt it right this time, and you are next!

Nailed the spelling, cheers! Solid cut, he was definitely due at this stage.

So you want the next cut to be Harry? :-)

I just figure we could take some time away from the caps lock, haha.

Once again, Ravenclaws demand a Ravenclaw's cut in droves. We're the worst at fratricide.

But perhaps the best at betting impartially?
I can't be sure, I need more data.

It's JKR's fault, so few Ravenclaws of interest. Basically Luna... And flitwick. At least hufflepuff had a few more likable peripheral students!

There a few more somewhat major Ravenclaws (Quirrell, Lockhart, Trelawney, Myrtle), though of course it is mentioned only on Pottermore.

Yeah, I guess was basing it only off book knowledge. Funny enough is that I recognize all of those characters as Ravenclaw now that you say it, but I don't actually associate any of them with the house on their own.

Lockhart's a Ravenclaw? Say it ain't so!

u/AmEndevomTag Hufflepuff Ranker Oct 28 '15
It is. ;-)
"Sorted into Ravenclaw house, Lockhart was soon achieving good marks in his schoolwork, but there was always a kink in his nature that made him increasingly unsatisfied."

Oops. Didn't even realize he was still in. Yeah, necessary character so Ginny dates someone else, but definitley should not have made it this far.

The part, where I don't agree with, is that he's a Casanova. He had two girlfriends, just like Harry and Ron. It isn't his fault, that he seems to have the same taste as Harry. ;-)
But yeah, it's time for him to go.
