Before you can take your seats,
you must be sorted into your houses.
Hmm.
Difficult.
Very difficult.
Plenty of courage, I see.
Not a bad mind either.
There's talent.
Oh, yes.
Listen,
if it really means that much to you,
you can choose Gryffindor.
The Sorting Hat takes
your choice into account.
Really?
Really.
So, the Sorting Hat was right.
I should be in Slytherin.
It's true, Harry.
Why, then, did the Sorting Hat
place you in Gryffindor?
Because I asked it to.
Exactly, Harry. Exactly.
Which makes you different from Voldemort.
It is not our abilities that
show what we truly are,
it is our choices.
Okay. Relax.
Ah. Right, then.
Mm. Right.
My old friend.
You sold James and Lily
to Voldemort, didn't you?
I didn't mean to.
The Dark Lord,
you've no idea the weapons he possesses.
Ask yourself, Sirius,
what would you have done?
Gryffindor.
I know.
Hufflepuff!
Ha!
Why is it always me?
Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs.
Your house will be like your family.
They are Gryffindor,
Hufflepuff,
Ravenclaw,
and Slytherin.
Hello, everyone.
[Roaring]
Yes!
Another ten points to Gryffindor!
This is it.
[Speaking Parseltongue]
But so what?
I bet loads of people here can do it.
I'll see you back in the common room.
This is the entrance to the
Slytherin common room.
In order to enter, one must
simply speak the correct password.
Well, sit down.
Who lived longer,
the ghost or the poltergeist?
A non-being
can never have been.
Welcome to the Gryffindor common room.
Fortuna Major.
No, no, no, wait! Wait.
Watch this.
That was bloody brilliant.
Oh, thank you for that
assessment, Mr. Weasley.
