The Sorting Hat is a sapient artefact used at Hogwarts, which magically determines to which of the four schoolhouses—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin—each new student is to be assigned. During the opening banquet at the beginning of the school year, the hat is placed on every First-Year student's head. The hat will announce its choice aloud, and the student joins the selected house. Judging from Harry's own account of his Sorting, and a brief comment made by Hermione in the 5th book, the hat speaks to the student while they're being sorted and is willing to take the student's preferences into account when it makes its decision.
