It'd be funny if a Hufflepuff pull out pots and pans out of the Sorting Hat during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Godric: His Dueling Sword Helga: Enchanted Work Gloves that make you proficent at any household task. Allowing a student to become a one man/woman supply chain. Rowena: An Enchanted Notebook with an unlimited number of pages. Filled with countless spells from Ravenclaw's day to the present. Salazar: An Amulet that allows one to see the history and true intentions of those around its wearer. That way his heir and any traitors could be identified quickly in time of need.

You forget, the Hat gives you the Sword if you're a Gryffindor AT HEART. Anyone could pull it from the Hat, as long as they are experiencing a moment of true bravery.

The simplest explanation I can think of for Godric charming his hat to make the sword accessible in time of need would be personal defense for himself and any of his heirs/students. By this line of thinking, the charm likely existed prior to all four founders bewitching the hat to sort future students.

Yeah i'm not buying this for the simple fact that then ravenclaw and hufflepuff would be without their wands, which they'd still need even after creating the hat. Plus just another wand seems kinda disappointing since every person at that school would already have one on hand You dismissed them but i do think the diadem and cup would be the most obvious choice for items, not least because they're the only significant items known to belong to them, but also cus they make the most sense when you really think about it Sure they're not a sword but remember only a gryffindor's first instinct would be to attack it head on, hence a sword would be the most useful. Ravenclaw's diadem had the power to grant great wisdom, and a ravenclaws first instinct when seeking help would be to seek answers, go the smart route rather than the brave. As for hufflepuff, i dont think its ever stated what power the cup had but that it did have a power, so i propose it had the power of healing those who drank from it. A giant monster attacking the school, a hufflepuff's instinct would be to save their friends as best they can, so an object that could heal could do would be perfect You say these items couldnt be correct cus voldemort found them and turned them into horcruxes, but does the hat really work by "storing" the object inside? I remember the scene in the movie when the sword simply vanished from the goblin's hand so i was under the impression that the hat could simply summon the item from wherever it may be. So by that logic, the other house items would still make sense even if voldemort found them somewhere else And while on the subject, is it stated gryffindor put the sword in the hat after creating it specifically as a measure against slytherin's plans? I always thought it was simply there for any gryffindor who needed help. If its not stated that it was to stop slytherin and they perhaps all put items in when creating the hat, then it makes sense that slytherin would likely put his locket in there. No idea what it would be for though or what it would do, maybe grant whoever wore it the ability to speak parseltongue so they could open the chamber?

Personally, I believe that Godric possibly put the enchantment on as soon as he had obtained the Sword or shortly after. I mean, it makes sense if you think about how the goblins still wanted it, and who wanted to take it back. If they were successfully able to steal it, he is THE true Gryffindor and he would ALWAYS be able to pull the sword. I think he was the only one to have put any enchantment on it, it was HIS hat to begin with. And those who truly had the Gryffindor spirit would be able to pull the sword, just as he was able to.

Hypothetical question, if a parent taught there child occlumency before going to Hogwarts, would the sorting hat be able to sort them into a house? Can an adult wizard from a different wizarding school be sorted into a Hogwarts house? Or like can a student transfer to Hogwarts from a different school like from Durmstrang or Beauxbaton?

I was on board until the actual reveal of the wands, lol. So the other 2 houses need to prove to the Hat that they are true to their respected houses and then prove to the wands that they're worthy? that's a lot of hoops. It would make more sense to me if it was a magical non-sentinel item, like the Sword. It feels like they had a good starting point, but couldn't find anything good and then threw the Wands in as a last resort. And I would think that Godric wouldn't have left the Slytherin house defenseless just because it was Salazar's house. That's sort of like punishing the kids for their association with the parent. I would think Godric could have left a "Slytherin item" in the Hat, or at least something that could be considered Slytherin through the lens of a Gryffindor, if that makes any sense.

I'm not sure if I believe that it would be Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's wands in the hat. While it would work theoretically, I'm not sure I'm sold. After all, I don't recall if we know where Slytherin's or Gryffindor's wands are either. Plus, I don't feel like we know enough about the famous witches to say with any kind of certainty that they weren't warrior's in their own right with their own weapons. I feel like Ravenclaw would have left behind a particularly powerful spell. Perhaps written on a piece of parchment. It would be something universal like the disarming spell or a protections spell. If it was specifically for the basilisk, maybe it was a spell that could create a mirror of sorts so it would look itself in the eye. While not as readily available to just use as a sword, I could see Ravenclaw expecting her students to be clever enough to figure something out. For Hufflepuff, I feel like she was have some kind of magical artifact or perhaps a shield of some sort. Since shields can make powerful weapons, too. The shield would definitely be covered in some kind of highly poisonous toxin she cultivated from some kind of rare plant. Or she would have a potion that was basilisk antivenom. Also, I feel like Slytherin students would be able to pull something out of the hat. After all, we do know that the house accepts half-bloods and on occasion muggle-borns. They would still need protection from their own house since they would technically be purged as well. Though, it may not be anything of Slytherin's since he wouldn't have found those students to be worth saving. They may have gotten their own sword, or perhaps a staff, since I feel like staves could be seen as objects of the powerful and for a wizard a bit extra (because I feel like Slytherins would have the flare for the dramatic). Also, lots of depictions of Merlin (a famous Slytherin) is often seen with a staff (at least in muggle depictions). Perhaps even it could have been Merlin's staff as he would have been around not long after the founding of the school, if memory serves correctly. Or maybe they all had their own swords.

I always thought each of the four left something for their students to pull. We know Gryffindor left the sword. I believe Ravenclaw left her diadem, Hufflepuff left her cup, and Slytherin left his locket. I don’t believe they left their items for a specific “fight,” but something to help their students get out of a “sticky wicket.” The diadem to think of the best solution, the cup, filled with a courage potion, to overcome fear, and the locket to remind the student to keep their “eyes on the prize (Goal). That the three were turned into Horcruxes might “cloud” the results and therefore not work as intended, or as thorough as intended.

I like the idea of a item being in there for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff but not their wands. Probably a special spell book for Ravenclaw and for Hufflepuff maybe a plant, potion or shield.

Hmmm... Slytherin was also associated with healing (as was his wand), and there seems to be an association with potions as well. So I would say that in an emergency a worthy Slytherin would pull from the hat a very powerful and generalized healing potion. A Hufflepuff might pull out a shield that cast a secondary magical shield around you and your friends, so that you could protect yourself and others from whatever threatened. A Ravenclaw might pull out a book of spells that would read from the user their assessment of the situation, and on opening present the spell most likely to be of use to them in that situation. That is how I see things anyway. I do have to wonder though, if there weren't quite a number of students, over the years, who had the traits to make them an excellent Slytherin (ambition, cunning, a bit of ruthlessness, etc.), but they were muggleborn. I know, a few of them were let in, but I have to imagine that was only ones with NO other traits to let them into another house. So that had to have somewhat thrown off the sorting system. Also, what happened when a student wasn't particularly bright, brave, ambitious, or at all loyal or hard working? Did they still get dumped in Hufflepuff by default? Or was that something like a negative hat-stall? Rather then having the traits of several houses strongly, they lacked the traits of any of the houses? It just seems like Hufflepuff should have had more students, at least by a little, than the other houses, if they accepted both the particularly loyal and hard working, and all the ones that the other houses rejected.

I for one can see a use for Helga's cup in a fight. She was obsessed with Herbology so it isn't that much of a stretch to think she might've been a master Potionier as well. The cup could've been enchanted to provide any number of healing potions that would come in handy with dealing with Basilisk venom. While it's established that the only known cure is Phoenix tears in the current age. That doesn't mean there wasn't a potion in the 10th century that has been forgotten by the 21st that could cure Basilisk venom or at the very least halt its effects long enough to find the tears of a Phoenix.

i always thought the other houses would have diffrent kinds of swords like slytherin will have a scymitar hufflepuff would have a dagger and ravenclaw would have a rapier

I believe that hufflepuffs item would be Helga’s cup it could contain a healing potion of some kind

I’d expect some hither to unknown artifact or device before the wands for the very reasons you pointed out. The wands actually do choose the witch or wizard ultimately and depending on the cores and woods used that could be a disastrous choice. I could have see the diadem being a choice except that it was stolen and never recovered until the ghost of Helena revealed the location to Tom Riddle.

Video ideas: if Snape was much loyal to voldemort as he said himself, why couldn't he have just disarmed him in order to gain the allegiance of elder wand? What would've happened if somehow somebody would have used a spell on Voldemort by which he would just forget everything?

Question: if the wand chooses the wizard, what if another wand chose Harry before the wand he got at Olivanders, with the phoenix core, did?

I could see Hufflepuffs item being a portkey. Some sort of item that transports the user to the hufflepuff common room where they can get help, or maybe the headmasters office

Personally I don't think they'd pull anything. The sword is tied to the hat. Slytherins have the Chamber of Secrets, Ravenclaws have the Diadem, and Hufflepuffs have... well we don't know. Personally I always thought the Room of Requirement was likely created by Helga Hufflepuff as it fits her character and just seems like a very utilitarian magical object.

... nothing. The Relics of the Founders were all hidden in different places. Godric Gryffindor is the only one who hid his in the Sorting Hat. In fact, Harry and the gang DESTROYED the other Relics because Voldemort made them into Horcruxes. The fancy cup in the Gringotts Vault? That was the Chalice of Helga Hufflepuff. The locket? Salazar Slytherin's locket. The ring, too, for that matter. The crown from the Room of Requirement was the Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw. One by one, Tom Riddle found them all and, secretly, turned them into horcruxes... then initially put them back where he found them, since he they were already in extremely hard to find and reach, cleverly protected places, and so long as nobody worked out what he'd done, the teachers would protect them better than he could. However, he moved and hid them, mostly, again once he realized his horcruxes had been identified and were being hunted by someone he knew was pretty adept at finding things and getting through magical protections. Gryffindor's Sword was the only Relic he never tainted because he could never work out where it was or how to get it... and couldn't ever get it even if he knew how, since the Sword would only come out of the Hat at the need of someone who was truly alike to Godric. The Heir to Gryffindor, if you will, somebody who embodied everything that Gryffindor was.

Man,I luv ur videos vert much

I've actually thought on this for a while and I believe a Ravenclaw would pull out Rowena's spell book which would likely have a vast collection of high powered spells (I could also see it being semi sentient knowing what spell was needed and open to that page). Hufflepuffs would pull out a cauldron that could produce any desired potion immediately

I have a different theory about the basilisk... What if Salazar left her to protect the school and it went crazy due to 1000 years of being alone and it was his bonded familiar

Salazar had a wand that was comprised of basilisk horn and snakewood. Maybe something for extra oomph - that only a pureblood wizard could call on. Rowena could have left a book of advanced charms such as the patronus, top tier shield and protective enchantments or maybe forbidden magic. Helga I view as a strategic learner. You had to work smart AND hard to overcome talent. I see her having advanced archives similar to Snape's advanced potion making book in HBP. Everything with pragmatic revisions and how to learn in additional ways. Perhaps a portkey to a hidden location?

I doubt the sword was for fighting the Basilisk specifically, more for generally defending the school in a time of need. And I think if it was done before the split (most likely) all 4 would have stored something in there, Slytherin included. Maybe even in the understanding, that the hopes of the others might fail and Slytherin students may have to defend the school from a kind of purge. All four lived in violent times, and I think their gifts would have suited their studends. So I guess for Ravenclaw it would be a book/Grimoire of sorts, containing specials knowledge, as she was an "arm the world with knowledge" type of person, for Helga it is harder to guess what kind of tools she would have given her students, Gryffindors tool he passed on was the sword and with Salazar I would guess a very powerful magical artifact that would greatly enhance the user's magical power.

I would love to see a short film with Hollywood SFX showing the Hogwarts founders finding Hogwarts lol

A huffflepuff reaches into the hat at time of great need......Pulls out Helgas cup and proceeds to get drunk....At least it numbed the pain of their death.

can’t wait to watch!

Thank you for the content

I feel like a Ravenclaw would pull out a book that when you flip to a page it gives you what information you need to defeat the problem or confict thats happening- or something-

Someone, at some point, would have noticed a basilisk coming out of the sorting hat when a "true Slytherin" donned it. (Or, am I being too Ravenclaw?)

I have a theory Brave fighters like to use Swords that why Godric Gryffindor left the Sword for his students, Rawena Ravenclaw most likely will choose a Ranged Weapons like bows because they are more careful and creative and it’s a smart choice like her house, Helga Hufflepuff I don’t have any idea about what she will put but most likely a weapon about her house traits, Salazar Slytherin didn’t put anything because he won’t fight himself

What a very interesting video! ❤️

Lol hey dude love the content keep it up

Video idea for you to do: What additional effects do spells have that are not seen in the movies? For instance, what else can the patronus charm do besides ward off dementors?

I think you're siri makes a lot of sense great video keep up the excellent work

A basilisk, a full set of encyclopedias and a turkey dinner. 😂

Shouldn't any Hogwarts student be a worthy "insert House here" considering the hat chose them to be part of said house in the first place 🤔

Why didn't ron and hermoiny not pull more baselisk teeth? In the war

Ravenclaw would send useful suggestions or an encyclopedic knowledge of the threat. Hufflepuff, what? A whistle changed into a watch to sing the basilisk to sleep?

The sword was not stored in the hat, rather teleported to the hat. Thus I suspect the 4 iconic items were in the enchantment list. The Sword, the cup, the diadem, the locket. When a Griffindor is in need, it's highly likely a combat situation due to their nature, thus the sword will fit the job. Hufflepuff which is the inclusion house of Hogwarts -- since they don't really value certain traits, so it's the "everyone else" house -- thus a Hufflepuff in need would be recognition. They always have what it takes, but doubt themselves. The cup act as Helga's recognition that they're great all along, and push them forward to greatness. The diadem were heavily rumored to be enchanted to enhance intelligence, true or not, it will challenge a Ravenclaw's perspective on intellect. If it does enhance intelligence, they'll feel newly aquired power and further their study. If it doesn't, they'll have newly aquired knowledge which still furthers their path. The locket of Slytherin contains the secret of the chamber. I don't think Salazar intent his heir to "purify the blood". Rather, to know their limits. To realize great ambition, one need to first gaze upon themselves and admit they have endless potential, rather than already peaked. Dealing with the chamber and Salazar's legacy will let the Slytherin taste great challenge, fear, possible loss, disaster, and when they can over come the chamber -- victory. It's the only item capable of harming the student, acting like Salazar's final exam. Due to the horcrux situation, the other items probably got twisted enough to trigger a fail safe to not show up and lead the true heir into path of darkness.

Hey guys what about placing famous people into Hogworts house? Like Elon Musk into Slitherin or Ravinclaw since he is both ambitions and book smart. Perhaps Drew Carry into Huffopuff and so one.

of course Godrik had no idea bout the basilisk. He would’ve gone and fight it himself!

Can you make a video about what would happen if a student from France or Belgium that should be in Beaubatonx or Durmstrang would put on the Hogwarts sorting hat instead of their own? Would the hat recognize that they're not british? will the Beaubatonx or Durmstrang staff be notified if one of their students gets sorted to the wrong school?

Well I don't think those could have been wands because 1) personalization 2)how would they cast the spell 3)why would they give up their wands.(next part is me fantasising what could other houses get, nothing like that is in the books) I think that since Hufflepuff was about helping others I think they should something that could help them heal people like a vial of phoenix tears and for Ravenclaw since they're smart they could get some kind of information/scouting tool that would give them a better grasp of what is happening on the battlefield, and someone from Slytherin could get some basilisk poison.

The weapons of each houses (this is a joke) Raven claw: the lego Batman masks Hufflepuff: broken glass and pans Slytherin: the worst smoothie in the wizard in world Gryffindor: hagrid

Maybe the Sword was just put there for the Basilisk and had nothing to do with which House you were from?

What if a half-blood or muggle born Slytherin kid who most likely aren't Parseltounges, ends up in the Chamber of Secrets; I doubt that Basilisk would spare them. What would a Slytherin need and get from the hat? If it's not Slytherin's locket which would maybe allow you to temporarily speak Parseltounge and grant you command over the Basilisk to go back to sleep for the next few centuries. Sence Salazars locket is a Horcruxe. I guess it would be some sort of tool or gadget like a whistle or a flute that Salazar created and enchanted that mimics a rooster's crow. This is deadly to a Basilisk but Salazar wouldn't want to kill his pet so I figure sence it's a artificial rooster crow it would only incapacitate it for a long time without killing it. Or Salazar enchanted the said tool to only sound enough to incapacitate the Basilisk enough for the Slytherin kid to scram out of the chamber. Anyways that's my theory. 🐍🖤Slytherin #1 House

It seems much more likely to me, being that it was his hat, that Gryffindor already had the enchantment to bring his sword to him on the hat, and the ability to draw it to the students was a byproduct of the other enchantments, intentional or otherwise.

Very good question and not one I’d personally thought of

When i think of a Ravenclaw student using the Ravenclaw Diadem i imagine Sailor Moon. Student: Ravenclaw Diadem Magic!

Godrik: bravery - so a sword for attacking and striking down the monster like a hero. Rowena: intelligence - so a magical floating spell book capable of displaying any spell that would be useful to the situation, only a truly resourceful wizard/witch could. adapt and learn the spells and use them quickly and effectively. Helga: loyalty/kindness - so a shield. Where Godrik would focus on dramatic offense, Helga would focus on the more subtly heroic act of protection of the student and their allies. I don't know whether it would be a glove or bracer that projects magic shield or a full on metal shield itself but something like that. Salazar: ambition and cunning - assuming he would get to put one in I think it would be a crown (because he's an egotist) but the crown grants the ability of parseltongue allowing the 'true slytherin' the benefits of being an heir - ie summing and control of the basilisk.

Hey do you know if there has been cases/what would happen if say the majority of first years are all like minded and end up in the same house? Or does the sorting hat have a quota for each house and the further down the list it goes the more lax it gets with sorting?

Ravenclaw: Magical cheat sheet. Hufflepuff: Lembas. Slytherin: Merlin’s pants.

Godric: Sword (Can absorb things if facing head-on, showing bravery.) Rowena: Staff (Can create anything that the user dreams of, showing creativity.) Helga: Sheild (Can protect anyone, showing loyalty.) Slytherin: Charm (can influence anyone, showing cunning.)

I interpret Helga Hufflepuff's sphere of influence is along the lines of engineering a good system to follow because of her values of hard work and loyalty. Her spaces were often about sustenance rather than prowess. Therefore, I think if she had something come from the hat it would be an angry horde of chocolate bunnies come to deliver super-rapid-acting diabetes to the enemy as they relentlessly burrow into the mouth of the enemy.

I don't think other houses would pull anything out of the sorting hat. The sorting hat has a special connection to Griffindor as it used to belong to Godric Gryffindor himself.

i feel like, if well written, the diadem and cup could easily be used in battle. imagine being able to put the diadem on and be endowed with a wildly strong protective charm, mirroring Roina trying to defend the knowledge she so deeply cared for. The cup is a bit more tricky. My first thought is that you could pull the cup out and put any liquid inside of it and it could be transfigured into like a rejuvenation potion of sorts. so with the three houses other than Slytherin, if you could wield all three, you'd have an impenetrable defense, near infinite rejuvenation and a sword above all others. basically making the wearer dumbledore levels of strength or even higher.

Twist. Hufflepuff left a rocket launcher.

a lot of people underestimate and may not have thought of food during battle.. there's a reason why a chef would be required in an army group. So I assume a true hufflepuff would pull either medicinal herbs, healing salves, food to restore energy in their time of need. Now ravenclaw can perhaps pull a scroll or a magical object for casting a spell without a wand, after all, the ravens are smart. Slytherin however, may not get much.. or rather the only concern for slytherin at the time was regarding muggles, so perhaps he may hid a map or locator to clue into the chamber of secrets for a non-heir who cannot speak parsletounge.

if you're going to put something in the hat specifically to fight a creature that kill you whenever it locks eyes with you, it should be something that can counter that... Echo Location glasses! Basically, it's a blindfold that projects an image in front of you based on sound. so you're blocking your actual line of sight and any and all sound waves that come in to contact with it will display what would be your line of sight. since the death gaze is a result of seeing the light waves reflected off its eyes, it would be blocked. but that same gaze would not travel through soundwaves, so when the soundwaves hit the blindfold, and convert into light, the death gaze would be gone. like if you agree, and if you disagree, feel free to give a [rational] argument as to why this technique wouldn't work.

They wouldn't be able to pull anything out of it. the sorting hat was created by Godric Gryffindor, and it probably on gives items to Gryffindor.

Imagine fighting the basilisk, and when you pull your last hope out of the sorting hat, its Hufflepuff's fukcing silver goblet

Sword enchantment is only the anti theft device. They probably forgot it was even still on the hat when they made the hat into a sorting hat.

So Grifindor had a goblin made sort, that the goblins wanted to steal from him, and knew that by the ways of the goblins would want it back as to them it was only lended to him for as long as he lived. It just makes sence he would want a way to always be able to get the sword back if it was stolen, and for the people that are wordy of his believes to be able to use the sword after he was gone.

I’ve been thinking about this question as well, and I have an idea for what the other houses could pull out of the hat. Hufflepuff: I think Hufflepuff would pull out an enchanted spray bottle that holds an unlimited supply of phoenix tears. As the Harry Potter fans know, phoenix tears have immense healing powers that can keep you alive even if you’re an inch from death, and unlike the unicorn blood, there’s no terrible price or consequence. On top of that, phoenix tears are the ONLY known cure for basilisk venom. Hufflepuffs value friendship, so it would make sense that they’d have something that can save a friend from dying or at the very least keep them alive long enough to protect their friends. Ravenclaw: I think a true Ravenclaw would pull out a book filled with the knowledge and wisdom of the Greek gods. This book would provide the reader with the knowledge they need to pull them out of a sticky situation. Now don’t get the wrong idea. Although the book provides knowledge, it does NOT provide weapons or tools. Here’s an example: the book may provide info on a vampire’s weakness, but it will NOT provide any tools to help capitalize on it. Ravenclaws desire knowledge, so it would make since that they’d have something that can teach them something new. Slytherin: this one’s a little tricky, but I think a true Slytherin would pull out a pair of mystical knight gauntlets. These particular gauntlets are made entirely out of dragon scales that Merlin collected during his time. These gauntlets would extend into a full suit of armor around the wearer providing a massive boost in power which can match and even surpass that of a full grown dragon. It even has retractable wings that allow the wizard/witch to fly, though not quite as fast as the fastest dragons around. Also because the armor is made out of dragon scales, it also gives the wearer a strong resistance to magic and fire, BUT just like a dragon it’s not immune and can still be overwhelmed from too many attacks. Slytherins have a lust for power, so of course they’d have something like this

I love these videos so much and I'm such a potterhead.Also what Hogwarts house are you in or what's your favourite?

Maybe all of them knows that the items can be destroyed so maybe (like Helga's cup and Rowena's diadem) so they need a solution for that So...Hufflepuffs would get Helga's broken cup's pieces. After boiling the cup's pieces to certain degrees,(because Hufflepuffs is related to cooking sometimes) the cup pieces would turn into a tiny shield that can change it size and grow any kind of plants for food and potion supplies And Ravenclaws would get the broken pieces of Rowena's broken diadem that can float and attach itself into an empty book(they could be associated with books sometimes) then fill the book with every kind of spell... The spells can be casted without a wand, only by holding that book Idk about Godric's sword(because it is not broken... ...yet...)

I’v never thought anything other than the sword could be pulled.

maybe one worthy could pull a potion out of the hats depending on there situation and for the other i think a shield or some kind of protection

How many videos are you going to explain the houses/sorting hat in??

I think that the hat has its relationship with Gryffindor's sword because both belonged to Gryffindor. I don't think he charmed the relationship with specifically with the chamber of secrets in mind. After all, there have been many instances of worthy Gryffindors pulling the sword from the hat.

I highly doubt he put it there for the basilisk. I doubt he knew it was there

i would love a show about them four

I'm not entirely sure what other items it would be, BUT I definitely agree that the other founding members would/could have left something

I have a question if there are new vs used wand differences. Are all wands new? What about a famous wand not buried with it's owner but one that might be taken be another witch or wizard? As for the sorting hat, I think you are correct that the items they had would not be the cup or diadem for those several reasons. However, while wands are possible, I think there are other devices for the students. The hat was Griffindors. The room of requirement is Ravenclaw's. Hufflepuff's Aid is not fully explored but there's quite possibly a shield spell available that would be a non-corporeal patronus to any student who needed aid. Furthermore, before the cup was a horcrux, it would provide food and care to any wizard abandoned or wrongly persecuted by any of the other houses.

I think Hufflepuff’s item would be a healing potion, automatically refilled. Raven law’s would be some way to detect lies.

I think he just had the enchantment added to the hat because he assumed Gryffindor students, like him, would be the ones going on daring adventures and might need it. It probably had nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets.

I believe that the hat was once its scabbard in times when using magic would get you persecuted and was later transformed into the hat.I mean each time we see it pulled its always naked.

Godric Gryffindor: The sword of Gryffindor Helga Hufflepuff: The Caldron of Hollister Rowena Ravenclaw: The Abacus of Phokis Salazar Slytherin: The Eye of Bersillius

With my luck all I would find is someone’s used chewing gum if I reached into the hat.

I think that the hat's purposes were #1 to sort the students and # 2 to act as a sword retrieval device. For the hat to only retrieve griffindor's sword is enough. I would say that griffindor left the sword as inheritance for all "true" griffindors and not just his children, if he had any. In doing so he would be making the statement that his heirs would be those that inherit his principles and not just his blood. And that statement would be in direct opposition to slytherin putting so much importance on blood purity to inherit magic: magic in the blood; magical artifacts; magical knowledge... I think that this is the reason for the sorting hat to be a retrieval device, to maintain this inheritance for any and all true griffindor's, so long as they had access to the hat. Over the years there could be plenty of wizards or goblins trying to steal the sword. The hat and sword would both be guarded at hogwarts, but i think this function is mainly to guard against the goblins. I don't think that goblins would take the hat to ensure no one could retrieve the sword with it is because of their sense of ownership. Goblins don't like stealing and they believe the craftsman is the true owner. Because the hat was crafted by griffindor they wouldn't steal it. The reason the other founder's magical objects wouldn't come out of the hat is simple, they aren't griffindor's and they chose other methods to bequeath those objects.

"Slytherin's are for those who want power" me a Slytherin: yo it's not those who have great ambition?

I think it would be fitting for a true Hufflepuff to pull out a stamina-enchanted pair of boots (boots of infinite energy) or something, and a true Ravenclaw pulls out a grimoire with advanced spells which can be used wandlessly

Slytherin didn't have the sorting hat's worthy disposal but had a whole chamber with a killer basilisk in it. Only for the true and worthy heir to open it.

But is it necessary that the person who draws out the sword have to be in Gryffindor's house? My theory is that Dumbledore's expression "true Gryffindor" has more to do with characteristics than with which dormitory someone has been sleeping in. If the sword is enchanted to present itself to a brave hero in dire need, couldn't it be possible that also a brave hero like Newt Scamander, Cedric Diggory, or Nymphadora Tonks could have gotten the sword too, if they really needed it in their fight for the good of all?

I think ravenclaws was the diadem and her daughter pulled it out and hid it. For Hufflepuff a shield that would form a protective bubble or charm. For slytheren I believe he would put a small portrait of himself since he thought so highly of himself that only a worthy slytheryn would be able to have a conversation with himself since he thought he knew it all and was vain.

Harry Potter Theory. Another great video.

I love this idea... also I feel like there is some unspoken but characteristic lore here, in that, Ravenclaw would look at what the other guys left behind and scoff and be like, "idiots", a snake? and a sword? I'm not so proud I can't leave my wand... and Hufflepuff would be like, "ooh good idea", I'm not so egotistical that I can't recognize a good idea when I hear it.

i always thought that it simply is in the power of the sword to disappear and appear to a Gryffindor in need

I don't think that only people sorted into Gryffindor would pull out the sword. After all, you can be sorted into any house while being brave and bold.

I like the idea that Rowena would have left some sort of powerfully enchanted mirror as it's along the same line of thinking as Hermione. For Hufflepuff possibly an enchanted food item to make the basalisk sleep?

I have an idea for a theory you should add: What if Voldemort’s Arvada Kadarvra didn’t backfire in godric’s hollow. Harry would become a horcrux, and would probably survive the blow, but that would change the entire series. For this to happen, Lily and James mustn’t have loved Harry and therefore never have been sent to the Dursleys therefore never have asked Molly for help and never have met Ron. He also wouldn’t have had a connection with Voldemort and wouldn’t have destroyed him in godrics hallow.

Thinking that a bow and quiver of arrows for a Ravenclaw, and a potion or food infused with a revitalizing potion of sorts for Hufflepuff...

I feel like Ravenclaw would leave a staff and Hufflepuff would leave a shield. The staff resembling intelligence, the shield resembling hard work, and the sword, of course, resembling bravery

This is a fantastic theory.

So I have to wonder why Hermione was put in Gryffindor, sure she is brave but I would guess she is a lot more hardworking then brave by a long shot

Interesting Theory I have a question to pose those students who fit two houses extremely well such as Hermione being a Gryffindor but was also seriously considered for Ravenclaw do you believe it could be possible for those students in those moments to pull out the item they need most that they are best suited for at that time so to speak
