The houses of Hogwarts and the clubs they resemble

#3 Bayern Munich - Ravenclaw

Bayern Munich is as keen on taking in the proven best as Ravenclaw

Rowena Ravenclaw wanted her house to be home to the wisest, wittiest and most intelligent of all the Hogwarts students and in that sense are much like Bayern Munich in Germany. Famed for their academic prowess, members of Ravenclaw house are competitive and quick-witted and the most accomplished students in the whole school with the exception of Hermione Granger.

After the German club went through a bad patch, they completely overhauled themselves in the early 2000s and have since been a model of precision and excellence. Not only did they begin nurturing exceptional homegrown talent but created a system that attracted the best players from other countries.

To have the likes of Arturo Vidal, Mats Hummels, Manuel Neuer, Phillip Lahm, Thomas Muller, Frank Ribery, Robert Lewandowski, Jerome Boateng and Xabi Alonso all at the same time is remarkable for a club. They even have a crop of fresh talent that have great potential and promise.

Bayern Munich have won the last four Bundesliga titles in a row
