- "Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find a smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black;
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all." - — The Hogwarts Sorting Hat's song from 1991[src]
A top hat is a type of hat, characterised by its broad brim and high, flat-crowned top.[5]
