A New Sorting Hat Song

Please take a moment for my small song Made for you, dear Hogwarts student Even though you’ve already been sorted Listening now would be quite prudent You have now fulfilled your dream Of becoming a learner of magic So to waste this precious craft Would certainly be quite tragic So embrace what our school has to offer On a monthly basis To take part in the fun activities Might just become your oasis If you look around, you’ll see There are so many hidden skills In each and every house that it’s Enough to give you chills You might belong in Hufflepuff And solve puzzles at lightning speed Their skills in Arithmancy are such There must be something in their mead

Or perhaps in Ravenclaw you’re one of the trivia masters With their amazing Dueling skills They're smart and deft spellcasters If you are in Gryffindor you’re of a creative, stubborn crowd Their beautiful win in Interhouse Made us all so proud Your home may be in Slytherin where the trophy shelf now shakes There is no assignment too hard For those ambitious snakes Yet your house doesn’t matter much In the battle for the House Cup So if these verses don’t quite fit you Don’t worry, please, cheer up If you venture into our Study Hall You’ll surely find something fun Our assignments, puzzles and quizzes Offer everything under the sun I hope all badgers and snakes as well as you eagles and lions in your towers Find the joy in the magical race Now come out and show your powers!

If you’re wondering what in Merlin’s name this song is about, it’s about all the wonderful activities in Hogwarts you can take part in to help your house compete for the monthly House Cup!

To get started, go read www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/wiki/activities and/or join www.reddit.com/r/HPStudyHall.

The activities are such an entertaining way to practice creativity, have fun with your housemates and to have a little escape from reality every now and then, and I know there is so much hidden potential in every house that it wouldn’t take much effort to make it into a fair and tight race again! Can’t wait to see this month’s activities and all your beautiful ideas!
