Nope, it's an eagle. Looked it up. What with how J.K. names her characters, I'm just surprised the interpretation of house mascot wasn't more literal.

Ah, but what a wasted opportunity, in a place with centaurs and unicorns, not to have the mascot be a griffin. Just sayin'.

Ok, what with Snape's final communication to Harry being his death-throe thoughts viewed in a pensieve, I'm now thinkin' the choice in the Order of the Phoenix movie to change the Snape kidhood flashback from the book's pensieve to a simple mind invastion during Occlumancy lessons will prove, in the long run, to be a poorly chosen time-saving device.

Doesn't J.K. fill the filmmakers in if they're going to make a decision that bodes ill for future episodes??
