Welcome to Hogwarts!
Gryffindor Tower
Slytherin Dungeons
Ravenclaw Maze
Hufflepuff Commons
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 else 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 you real friends,
Those cunning folk 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!
