In The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there are four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. While you are a student at Hogwarts, your house is sort of like your family. Your good decisions and accomplishments earn your house points for the House Cup at the end of the school year, and your bad decisions deduct points. On your first night at Hogwarts, you are sorted into your house by the magical Sorting Hat. It analyzes your character traits and announces which house you would excel in.
This is the song that the sorting hat sings in Chapter Seven of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone before it sorts Harry and his new friends.
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart.
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To acheive their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
All the houses have good qualities, so I will discuss this in my next few posts. If you want to find out what house you are in, but you haven't received your invitation to Hogwarts yet, you can take this quiz! http://www.gotoquiz.com/pottermore_sorting_hat_quiz_2
Come back soon for my opinions about the houses!
P.S. I'm in Hufflepuff! :)
