Hello there. This is a collection of Sorting Hat songs that I have written for various things, plus a few just for fun. If you can't be bothered to look up the few that JK Rowling wrote; can't be bothered to write your own; or can't write poetry and, by proxy, Sorting Hat songs then you are welcome to borrow one of these, but only if you give me credit for it. I am also willing to write custom ones on request. Please e-mail me if you wish for me to perform this service.

This particular song was written forRequem Victus, which is an alternative Harry Potter RPG forum. Unfortunately it is currently offline (11 April 2005), but hopefully Trinity (who also has an account, but I can't remember her username right now – she wrote Hairy Pothead, or something, though) and co will have it up and running again soon.

Disclaimer: I do not, nor do I claim to own Harry Potter.

Sorting Hat Song 1

Be you short or tall,

Large or small;

I am the hat

That is here to sort you all.

I am here to choose the table

Where you will be sat,

I am the Hogwarts Sorting Hat!

If you are academically able,

Hardworking, wise and smart,

Ravenclaw is where you fit the part.

If you are crafty and sly;

Always willing to reach for the sky:

Slytherin is where your loyalties lie.

If you are friendly, loyal and true;

Hufflepuff is the place for you.

If you are brave

And adventure is what you crave:

Gryffindor is the home of such a knave.

So put me on and meet your fate.

Make haste; don't be late.

Take care

And begin this adventure if you dare…
