Its purpose is to place each new student of Hogwarts in one of the four respective houses at the start-of-term feast in the Great Hall. Each new student places the Sorting hat upon their head and within a minute the Hat will loudly proclaim the house for which they are best suited. ; The hat is patched and dirty and speaks and sings through a tear in the brim that acts as its mouth. The hat can also read the thoughts of the students and while not in use it sits safely out the way on a stool in Professor Dumbledore’s office. ; This set includes the sculpted base which is made out of Cold Cast Porcelain and Wood. You will purchase individually the House Pens which representing each of the four Hogwart Houses; Gryffindor Ravenclaw Hufflepuff and Slytherin each with a unique intricate design.

Be careful what you wish for… ; ; Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart a wise head and poor planning skills; which unforunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when Death came for Desiderata. So now it’s up to Magrat Garlick Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn’t marry the Prince. ; ; But the road to Genua is bumpy and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire werewolf and falling house (well this is a fairy tale after all). The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who’ll stop at nothing to achieve a proper “happy ending” even if it means destroying a kingdom!

It will happily sit on your bedside table without ruining the bedroom’s mojo because it looks just like any other teddy bear.
