Shortly after entering the Great Hall, each and every new first year student is required to place the fabled Sorting 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.
