❓❔ What is the sorting hat?
The Sorting Hat was a sentient magical hat at Hogwarts that determined
which of the four school Houses each new student belonged most to. These
four Houses were Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The
Sorting Hat originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of the four
founders of Hogwarts.
