Here's a new little trivia question I picked up while reading The Goblet of Fire for the umpteenth time. See if you can answer this one without looking it up (online or in the book).
Who owned the Sorting Hat before it started sorting, when it was just a plain ol' hat?
The answer to the question is in the Sorting Hat's own beginning-of-term song in the fourth book. I'm amazed that I never really noticed this little bit of trivia before.
Did you get it? Do you know the answer? Do you remember?
Well, the answer is Godric Gryffindor. Yep, the Sorting Hat tells us Gryffindor took the hat off his own head and made it into the Sorting Hat.
So we've got his Sword and his Hat playing a significant role in the magical world. Neat.
