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 top 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 yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a steady mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your 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)

15. WEBSITES WHICH MAY HELP
• http://www.hp-lexicon.org/index-2.html
• http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

16. Gryffindor
Gryffindor values courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and
chivalry. Its mascot is the lion, and its colors are scarlet and
gold. The Head of this house is the Transfiguration teacher,
Minerva McGonagall, and the house ghost is Sir Nicholas
de Mimsy-Porpington, more commonly known as Nearly
Headless Nick. The founder of the house is Godric
Gryffindor.
The Gryffindor common room is located in one of the
castle's highest towers, the entrance to which is located on
the seventh floor in the east wing of the castle and is
guarded by a painting of The Fat Lady, who is garbed in a
pink dress. She permits entry only after being given the
correct password, as was distinguished in the third book,
when Sirius Black tried forcing entry into the tower, only to
be blocked by The Fat Lady after he could not give the
correct password. In the first book, Neville Longbottom
tends to forget the password and must wait near the
painting until other Gryffindors arrive to open the way.[

17. Slytherin house values ambition, cunning, leadership,
resourcefulness, and most of all, pure wizard blood. The house
mascot of Slytherin is the serpent, and the house colours are
green and silver. Salazar Slytherin founded the house. The Head
of House is Severus Snape until near the end of the sixth book.
Then, Horace Slughorn, the previous Head of House, comes out
of retirement re-assuming authority. The ghost of Slytherin house
is The Bloody Baron.[22] The Slytherin dormitories and common
room are reached through a bare stone wall in the dungeons. The
Slytherin common room is a long, low, dungeon-style room,
located under the Hogwarts Lake, furnished with green lamps and
carved armchairs. The room is described in the second book as
having a greenish glow.
The Sorting Hat claims that blood purity is a factor in selecting
Slytherins, although this is not mentioned until the fifth book.
There is no reason to believe, however, that Muggle-born
students are not sorted there, merely that pure-blooded students
are more desirable to that house, as there are several examples
of half-bloods in the house (such as Snape and Voldemort). In
Deathly Hallows, a group of Snatchers claim that "not many
Mudbloods" are sorted into Slytherin.
When believing Harry to be dead and thinking that he has final
victory in his grasp, Voldemort proclaims his intention to abolish
the other three houses and force all Hogwarts students into
Slytherin. This design is foiled by his defeat and death, after which
Slytherin becomes more diluted in its blood purity, no longer
remaining the pure-blood bastion it once was. Its dark reputation,
however, does linger.[21]

18. Hufflepuff
Hufflepuff values hard work, tolerance, loyalty, and
fair play. The house mascot is the badger, and
canary yellow and midnight black are its colours.
The Head of this house is the Herbology teacher
Pomona Sprout, and the house ghost is The Fat
Friar. According to Rowling, Hufflepuff corresponds
roughly to the element of earth. The founder of this
house is Helga Hufflepuff.
The Hufflepuff dormitories and common room are
located somewhere in the basement. The entrance
is found behind a still life painting somewhere near
the kitchens, a password is required for entry. The
Hufflepuff common room is filled with yellow
hangings and fat armchairs and it has little
underground tunnels leading to the dormitories, all
of which have perfectly round doors, like barrel tops
(much like a badger sett).

19. Ravenclaw values intelligence, creativity, learning, and
wit.[HP5][HP7] The house mascot is an eagle and the house
colours are blue and bronze (blue and grey in the films).
The head of this house is the Charms professor, Filius
Flitwick, and the house ghost is The Grey Lady. According
to Rowling, Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to the
element of air. The founder of this house is Rowena
Ravenclaw. The dormitories are located in Ravenclaw
Tower on the west side of the school. The common
room, which went undescribed in the series until the
climax of Deathly Hallows, is round and filled with blue
hangings and fat armchairs, has a domed ceiling painted
with stars and features a replica statue of Rowena
wearing her diadem. Harry also notes that, by day, the
Ravenclaws "would have a spectacular view of the
surrounding mountains." A logical riddle must be solved
to gain entry, whereas the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and
Slytherin common rooms only require a password,
indicating that it may be easier for those students from
other houses who possess a high degree of intelligence
to enter this common room than others. Professor
McGonagall, the head of the Gryffindor House, solves
the riddle accurately.

21. Harry James Potter (b. 31 July, 1980) was a half-
blood wizard, the only child and son of James
Potter and Lily Potter (née Evans), and one of the
most famous wizards in modern times. He was
also one of the most famous students at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of his time. He
was the only known survivor of the Killing
Curse, as Lord Voldemort tried to murder him
when he was an infant, which led to Voldemort's
first defeat and the end of the First Wizarding
War, as well as to the orphaned Harry being taken
in by his Muggle relatives, the Dursleys, the only
relatives Harry had left.

22. Ronald Bilius "Ron" Weasley (b. 1
March, 1980) was a pure-blood wizard
and the sixth son of Molly and Arthur
Weasley. He was also the younger
brother of Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and
George, and the elder brother of
Ginny.
Ron began attending Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991
and was sorted into Gryffindor house.
He soon became best friends with
fellow student Harry Potter and later
Hermione Granger

23. Hermione Jean Weasley (née Granger),
born 19 September, 1979[1] was the
daughter of Muggles Mr. and Mrs.
Granger who were both dentists in the
Muggle world. She learned, at the age
of eleven, that she was a witch and had
been accepted into Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. She began
attending the school on 1 September
1991, when she was eleven, almost
twelve, and was sorted into Gryffindor
House.

24. Draco Lucius[3] Malfoy (b. 5 June,
1980) was a pure-blood wizard
and the only son of Lucius and
Narcissa Malfoy. The son of a
Death Eater, Draco was raised to
believe strongly in the importance
of blood purity. He attended
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry from 1991 to 1998 and
was sorted into Slytherin house.

25. MAGICAL CREATURES
Creatures at Hogwarts are classified by the following rating.
X: Boring
XX: Harmless / may be domesticated
XXX: Competent wizards should cope
XXXX: Dangerous / requires specialist knowledge / skilled wizard may handle
XXXXX: Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate (or as Harry puts it, "Anything Hagrid
likes")
You are going to research mythical creatures and draw one of your own. It may be a type of dragon or
something completely different. You will give it a give it a name and species eg. ‘Buckbeak the
Hippogriff’ or a ‘Norwegian Ridgeback’ dragon You will also tell us which country in the world it is
native to and what rating it would receive from Hagrid. Tell us what it can do.
