Now come get your skull measured so we know which you are
You do get to decide which house you'll be in though, that's the whole point.
Not that any of the muggle borns will know what the houses mean...
Pretty sure that's fan canon, or at least something added in content outside of the main book series.
No, it's literally a plot point, Dumpledore says to Harry at the end of book two that he's not like Voldemort because he chose to be in Griffindor
Yup gaslight the kid into believing he had a choice and that hat doesn't just look into every future to determine the best outcome for the hat's personal amusement.
Dumbledore doing this is why those Slytherin kids turned out evil.
Okay what the hell are those censors for.
I have no idea, thats how i found it. Its the only mentions apart from "student" that could suggest that the people are children, so thats probably why. I hate this version of the internet.
Makes me want to unalive. /s
