While there is a lot of head-scratching magic to see throughout the Harry Potter series, the first time the series may have you scratching your head is with the introduction of the Sorting Hat.

Luckily, there’s actually a ton of information known about the Sorting Hat thanks to the various books, movies, and all the other extended media for the Harry Potter franchise.
