The Sorting Hat Ceremony

"Welcome to Hogwarts" sais Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the great hall you will be sorted into your houses.The sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts.You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room.

"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While your here at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn you house points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."

The sorting hat begins the process of sorting you into one of the following houses - Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff - by singing this simple song:

"Oh, you may not think im pretty,
But dont 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 Im the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
Theres nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat cant 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 Gryffidors 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 achieve their ends.
So put me on!Dont be afraid!
And dont get in a flap!
You're in safe hands(though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
