@mhoye @Catriona @GroupNebula563 i remember reading the books as a kid and being for some reason that i didn’t fully understand back then scared of the idea of the sorting hat. I think it’s that i hate the intrusiveness of a thing reading your mind as well as the fact that it assigns you into a category that will define what your life will be like for the rest of your adolescence. Me, a trans and neurodivergent kid (even though i didn’t know i was back then) really didn’t like that.
