Summary

With Back to Hogwarts Day fast approaching, I started thinking about all of the young witches and wizards that will experience the Wizarding World for the first time. For many of them, it'll be their first time at platform 9 ¾, first time on the Hogwarts Express, and first time walking through the front doors of Hogwarts school.

But one key aspect of this integration process that got me thinking pertains to none other than the Sorting Hat. Shortly after entering the Great Hall, each of these new first year students will be required to place the fabled hat upon their head.

And the Hat, which has the unique and essential task of assigning new students to one of the four houses, will place this new student in to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.

For the most part, this process runs pretty smoothly, with students being sorted across the board.

But what if for some strange reason, things didn't go quite as smoothly as they usually do? What if the Sorting process led to a completely disproportionate number of students in one house? Or better yet, what if one or more houses had no new students at all?

Today we're tackling all of that (and more) as we dive (deeper) in to the Sorting Ceremony.
