The Sorting Hat invites you to make an important decision. You can choose one of four houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin. This choice will determine the location of your common room and influence your experience throughout the game.

After the sorting, Headmaster Black dismisses everyone for the evening. Deputy Headmaster Professor Weasley shows you to your new common room for your house.
