The sorting hat would be a very useful thing to have in your life! WHAT WOULD YOU USE THE HAT FOR IF YOU HAD ONE? What does it look like? How does it work? What would you like it to sort?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?	The hat is very dusty and tatty. It is made of smooth black velvet. It has squared blue patches with purple thread. The hat is pointed with glow in the dark stars and half-moons. The rounded bottom has got a piece of twisted wire around it.
HOW DOES IT WORK?	The hat's job is to sort all the first years into the different houses... It goes deep into your brain and sees all your knowledge and then tells you your house that you should be in.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO SORT?	The sorting hat would sort all of my sister's toys out. The way I would like it is all the cars and Barbies in to seperate boxes. The next thing is to sort my brother's mind out. I would like it three quarters good and one quarter bad and sort out his muddled up mouth.
