Welcome to Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft & Wizardry
'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 bowler black,
you 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 out to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dewll the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryfindors 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 folks use any means
To achieve 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!'
(quote from 'Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone';JK Rowling;p 117-8)
Just like at Hogwarts, you can be sorted into a common room! Once
you belong to a house, you can help earn your house points by
playing quidditch, attending classes (when they become available)
and sharing recent news about the hp series with me!
Here's how it works:
You must contact Professor McGonagall and she will make sure you
are eligable for attending Hogwarts. She will then send you her
response by owl, telling you your house and your house
password.
DO NOT REQUEST A HOUSE, OR YOU WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
INTO THE SCHOOL
You will include your password at the end of
all letters that you mail to earn points for your house. This
way, Professor McGonagall can keep track of the house points.
If you are already on a quidditch team, you will be receiving an
owl soon, telling you your houses password.
If you wish to be sorted, please
send an owl to Professor McGonagall.
Please enter 'sort' in the subject box. Thank you.
