They finally enter Hogwarts and are greeted by Professor McGonagall. In the Great Hall they will first undergo the Sorting Ceremony using the Sorting Hat, an old wizard\'s hat. While they are waiting, about 20 ghosts pass by; among them the \"Fat Friar\", an old Hufflepuff student, talking about \"Peeves\", the poltergeist.
