I’m the Hogwarts sorting hat
And as you will soon see
I’ll put you where you belong
So put your trust in me.

You could be in Gryffindor
If folks on you depend
Or maybe even Hufflepuff
If you’re a really good friend.
Don’t overlook Ravenclaw
The house with so much sense
And never rule out Slytherin
If your cunning is immense.

Hogwarts is a magic school
And as you’ll surely learn
If you attend your classes
Much wisdom you will earn.
If you’re looking for some fun
You’ve come to the right place
New friends you are going to meet
Who’ll share in the things you face.

Adventure awaits you every year
And that will be revealed
Just as long as you keep your head
Great rewards you’ll surely yield.
So welcome to our fair school
Be sure and watch for danger
It could come from anywhere
Not merely from a stranger.
