Dòng 15:
This chapter introduces Hogwarts castle, including the school's four Houses: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor; it also serves us our first taste of the rather eccentric Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore (who Harry thinks might be a bit mad), while Harry's scar may be acting as a barometer to the passing scene. Harry's fame in the Wizarding world is also further shown through the other students' excited responses to his name being called out for Sorting.
The Sorting ceremony is arguably the most important school rite that Hogwarts students participate in. It not only determines in which House they will spend their entire seven years at Hogwarts, but it reflects much about who they are and generally indicates what direction their lives may take. These affiliations also build life-long alliances, as well as create rivalries among the Houses, though these are generally friendly; it will be seen, however, that there is a particular competitiveness between Gryffindor and Slytherin, two Houses that come to symbolize themes of good and evil in the series, and which path, light or dark, the characters choose to follow. The four Houses are distinct and represent the individual school founders: [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Helga Hufflepuff|Helga Hufflepuff]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Salazar Slytherin|Salazar Slytherin]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rowena Ravenclaw|Rowena Ravenclaw]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Godric Gryffindor|Godric Gryffindor]]. All had varying talents and differing views, and students with similar characteristics to the founders are usually sorted into the House that best reflects those traits. The Hat sees abilities in Harry, cleverness, determination, and ambition, that are suitable to Slytherin and could lead him to greatness, something no one has ever told Harry or that he considered about himself. Some students, like Harry, do appear to have traits suitable to more than one House, and the Sorting Hat mulls over where it should put him. Already dismayed by his connection to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], Harry immediately resists Slytherin, a House he knows is associated with Dark Wizards and unpleasant students.
Although the Sorting Hat apparently favors putting It should be noted that Slytherin is not inherently evil, nor are all its students so unpleasant as Draco Malfoy and his cronies. However, that particular House does represent certain characteristics, such as ambition, power-hunger, ingenuity, slyness, etc., that Dark Wizards apparently possess in abundance. Like Harry, all Slytherins have a choice as to how they will utilize these traits, and whether they will follow a light or dark path. Later in the series, a Slytherin character will aid Harry.
Dumbledore's stern warning that "this year" the third-floor corridor is off limits, in addition to the package Hagrid delivered, indicates that unusual, and
Ideas are also presented on how the Wizarding realm differs from the Muggle world in which Harry had been trapped until now. Understanding how Wizard society operates here is not only appropriate to Harry's age (11), but also the details are at a level that is comprehensible to someone that age who is suddenly thrust into the magical world. For instance, when the banquet food appears on the plates, Harry never considers who prepared it or how it got placed there. That curiosity and the resultant understanding comes in about another three years.
