🧙‍♂️ Hat Sorting Quiz for Your Harry Potter Party

Make Your Sorting Ceremony Truly Magical with These 30 Enchanting Questions

Throwing a Harry Potter-themed party? Whether it's a birthday, a Halloween bash, or a movie marathon, no wizarding celebration is complete without the Hogwarts House Sorting Ceremony. This Hat Sorting Quiz is a fun, interactive way to assign guests to Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw based on their personality traits—just like the enchanted Sorting Hat does at Hogwarts.

Below are 30 multiple-choice questions, each with four options. At the end of the quiz, you can tally up the choices to determine each guest’s house placement. You can print it out, read it aloud during your ceremony, or even customize it as a Google Form or printable parchment scroll!
