The Hogwarts Sorting Hat EMM05
I've done this job for centuries On every student's head I've sat Of thoughts I take inventories For I'm the famous Sorting Hat. I've sorted high, I've sorted low, I've done the job through thick and thin So put me on and you will know Which house you should be in...
The Sorting Hat is a sentient hat at Hogwarts that magically determines which of the four school Houses each new student belongs most to. These four Houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The Sorting Hat originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. It normally stays in the Headmaster's office until it is needed.
