Here we honor Muggle geeks who embody Ravenclaw spirit!
Louis Braille (1809-1852)
As we leave Beauxbatons behind on this term's Ravenclaw Roadtrip, let's learn about a famous geek from France.
Louis Braille was blinded in a childhood accident. At the age of twelve, he developed a tactile system of raised dots which allowed blind people to read and write efficiently. Although "braille" was not used widely until long after its inventor's death, it is now used around the world.
