Every year, the Sorting Hat, sorts first years into one of the following four houses. Each house is named after one of the four founders of the school. While at the school, a students triumphs and achievements will gain points for their house, all these points are counted at the end of the year and the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup - a great honour. The four houses are:
Gryffindor You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart! |
Ravenclaw Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you've a steady mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind!

||
Hufflepuff You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil.
|
Slytherin Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old or bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains rot.
