In order to speak and sing, a tear along the brim opens like a mouth. Tthe Sorting Hat was bewitched by all four of the founders of Hogwarts with brains and some amount of personality. It's function is to determine which of the four houses each new student will enter. The first year students one by one place the Sorting Hat on their head. Within a minute, it loudly proclaims the house for which they are best suited. Moderators: Professor McGonagall, Sorting Hat | 34 | 51 | on Jan 31, 2006, 8:33pm by puddingcup in Bellatrix Black |

Each tap automatically releases not only water, but bubble bath (a different kind of bubble bath for each colour-coded handle). A pile of fluffy white towels are kept in one corner.
