Philosopher's Stone #4701 Sorting Hat The Sorting Hat was a sentient magical hat at Hogwarts that was used to determine which of the four school Houses was the best fit for each new student. These four Houses were Gryffindor, the house of bravery, Hufflepuff, the house of hard work, Ravenclaw, the house of intelligence, and Slytherin, the house of ambition. The Sorting Hat originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. It was normally kept in the Headmaster's office until it was needed for the Sorting Ceremony at the annual Start-of-Term Feast. Brick Economy: "LEGO 4701 Sorting Hat was a 48 piece Harry Potter set with 1 minifig released in 2001. It features a spinnable Sorting Hat to determine Harry Potter's Hogwarts house, including Harry Potter and Hedwig the owl.
