Le Choixpeau Magique de Harry Potter
The poem, « Le Choixpeau Magique de Harry Potter », comes from the Harry Potter
book and is sung by a magical singing hat. The hat sorts each of the students into houses based
on certain qualities they possess. The song that the sorting hat sings essentially describes the
qualities for which each house is known. The poem utilizes rhyme with the scheme of abab for
each stanza. Overall, the song captures a childlike sense of playfulness and fun because of this
rhyming pattern. It ought to be performed in a lighthearted way that would be appealing to any
children listening.
