Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 32 is actually a world within a book.

"Hermione, don't worry, you're so talented, you'll definitely be sorted out!"

Jerry watched as Hermione, looking extremely anxious, began repeatedly reciting the fourteen spells from her textbook after Professor McGonagall left. He sighed and offered her some words of comfort.

He knew that the so-called Sorting Ceremony had nothing to do with magic or spells. It was just about putting on a hat and then the hat would determine which house you belonged to based on your personality and lineage.

If you fit the characteristics of multiple colleges, you can also chat with Mr. Hat and choose one you like.

Just like in the movie, Harry fit both Gryffindor and Slytherin, but in the end he chose Gryffindor and was sorted into Gryffindor.

However, he couldn't tell Hermione any of this, since he couldn't explain why he knew the details of the Sorting Ceremony.

"How could they possibly be so sure which college we'd be assigned to?"

"I think there has to be some kind of test. Fred said it hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking."

Meanwhile, Jerry overheard Harry and Ron's conversation on the other side.

He glanced around and saw that there were more than forty young wizards in the room. Apart from a few young wizards born into pure-blood families like Malfoy, most of the other young wizards were just as nervous as Hermione.

Because most of them shared Hermione's view that the upcoming Sorting Ceremony would likely be decided by testing magic.

However, they are not Hermione. Most young wizards, like Harry and Ron, are currently unable to successfully cast a single spell.

Even though children born into pure-blood wizarding families like the Malfoys may have been exposed to magic earlier than wizards born into Muggle families, their magical abilities are not actually much higher than those of wizards born into Muggle families.

According to a short video Jerry saw on Douyin in his previous life, it seems that the magical bloodline in young wizards only stabilizes when they reach the age of eleven, allowing them to learn to cast spells.

Moreover, children from wizarding families are not much different in personality from children from ordinary families. Apart from Hermione, few children of this age are interested in settling down and delving into those difficult and complicated magical knowledge.

Isn't a flying broomstick more appealing? Aren't magical snacks more appealing? Isn't shopping in Diagon Alley more appealing?

However, children born into wizarding families are bound to have a broader range of knowledge and experience. At least Little Pony and the others knew exactly what the Sorting Ceremony was all about.

However, in their eyes, the panicked state of those Muggle-born wizards was a very interesting sight, so why tell them the truth?

As for Ron and Neville, who were also born into wizarding families, Ron had two brothers, George and Fred, who were good at causing trouble for their younger brother, while Neville had a bad memory and might not remember even if his grandmother mentioned it.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Just as the young wizards were immersed in the tension of the Sorting Ceremony, several screams suddenly broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

Jerry turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

It turned out that more than twenty translucent ghosts had passed through the wall and were flying around the young wizards' heads, waving and greeting them.

"Alright, everyone come out and line up behind me. The Sorting Ceremony is about to begin!"

Then, McGonagall reappeared at the door of the cabin, and the drifting ghosts filed into the wall and disappeared.

……

"This is truly a... surreal scene!"

Jerry and the young wizards lined up and followed Professor McGonagall into the magnificent Great Hall. Looking at the scene inside, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration once again.

Perhaps because it was an important opening banquet and college orientation ceremony, the auditorium was decorated exceptionally lavishly.

Tens of thousands of candles, imbued with a levitation spell, floated above the auditorium in place of the magic chandelier, illuminating the entire hall.

Inside the hall, four long tables, filled with young wizards, were decorated with golden plates and silver goblets that glittered in the candlelight.

What amazed Jerry the most was the ceiling of the auditorium.

If you don't look closely, you might think the sky above the auditorium is open-air, because you can see a dazzling and beautiful Milky Way hanging there when you look up.

Standing beneath the lectern between the deans' desks and the faculty's long tables, Jerry saw Professor McGonagall first move a four-legged stool and place it on the lectern.

Then they brought out a patched, worn-out, and extremely dirty hat.

"This must be the ancient Sorting Hat, the same age as Hogwarts!"

The Sorting Hat appears to have originally been an ordinary hat belonging to Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Hogwarts. Later, the four founders imbued it with magic, giving it the ability to help choose a house based on the characteristics of a young wizard.

The ability to imbue an inanimate object with independent thought and personality sometimes makes Jerry truly believe that the magic in the Harry Potter world is incredibly powerful.

Its power doesn't lie in its destructive force, but rather in its highly idealistic nature, lacking any scientific basis—it's just truly magical!

You might think I'm not pretty.

But never judge a book by its cover.

If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine

I can eat myself.

'

The hat wiggled on the stool and split open with a wide slit, like a mouth, and began to loudly sing its own unique Sorting House anthem.

Even more outrageous, after the hat finished singing, seeing the little wizards below applauding enthusiastically, it very gentlemanly stood up and gave a very elegant bow.

Have you ever seen a hat bow to you?

Definitely not. This is the first time Jerry has seen it either. He doesn't recall ever seeing this scene in movies in his previous life.

"When I call someone's name, that person should put on their hat, sit on the stool, and await sorting."

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward with the parchment in hand, slowly opened it, and read aloud:

"Hannah Abbott!"

A little girl with rosy cheeks and two golden braids stumbled out of the line.

"Hannah is as tough as nails!"

Looking at the little girl wearing the Sorting Hat and sitting on the four-legged stool, Jerry finally realized what had been bothering him all along.

It turns out that this is not the world of the movie "Harry Potter", but the world of the book "Harry Potter".

Because he remembered very clearly that in the movie, Hermione Granger was the first to be sorted, while Hannah Abbott was the first to be sorted in the book.

He had seen the "Hannah is an ironclad figure" meme in many short videos in his previous life.

But the key point is that in his previous life, he had only seen those movies on TV and had not specifically sought out the original books to read.

The differences between the movie and the original book shouldn't be too significant, right?

Probably!
