If you're an HP fan, you definitely know what Pottermore is. 

It was first launched in 2011. Fans couldn't wait to find out what house they would be sorted into. BUT the site was redesigned last year and the Sorting Hat disappeared.

At long last, though, it's back. 

According to Pottermore, "The Sorting Hat is one of the cleverest enchanted objects most witches and wizards will ever meet. It literally contains the intelligence of the four founders, can speak (through a rip near its brim) and is skilled at Legilimency, which enables it to look into the wearer's head and divine his or her capabilities or mood."

Rowling arrived at this narrative choice by writing "...a list of the ways in which people can be chosen: eeny meeny miny mo, short straws, chosen by team captains, names out of a hat — names out of a talking hat — putting on a hat — the Sorting Hat."

The hat — and the quiz — are "notorious for refusing to admit it has made a mistake in its sorting of a student," but has made "remarkably few errors" in the history of Hogwarts.
