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.

If you've just arrived at sorting-hat.com for the first time, you can undergo the Ceremony to assign you to the most suitable House.

Sorting Hat Ceremony

 

Unlike the Exams, this is a "Closed Book" test, meaning that you should answer the questions without looking at any books. There are no right or wrong answers, and you can take as long as you like.

If the Form version doesn't work on your Browser, there is also a manual version to do with a pen and paper (remember those?). Once you've done the test, check your answers. If you have more points for one particular House after the first six questions, disregard the seventh - it's there as a tie-breaker only if you have an equal number of points for more than one House after the first six.

Once you've worked out which House you belong to, you may want to know a little more about your House:

Gryffindor
Hufflepuff
Ravenclaw
Slytherin
