Hello! biggrin.gif
I was re-reading Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone a couple of days ago, and I noticed something.

pg. 130 (U.S. edition): They found their beds at last: five four-posters hung with deep red, velvet curtains. Their trunks had already been brought up.

So I had a few questions:
-How were there 5 beds in the room if the students hadn't been sorted yet? When were the beds placed there, and how? Did someone conjure them up?
-Who brought their trunks up? And when did someone bring them up? During the feast?

Thanks for writing your thoughts. I was just curious, and I wanted to know what others thought!

I think that there are Never more people sorted to one house than to the other ones. It's always very simmilar and I think that there are never more than 5 students in a dormitorie but coppertopchopperhopper and roonwit are right. It must be the house eleves.

Hmmm... I think that there is no certain amount of people sorted into one house. Maybe there would be 5 Ravenclaw 1st years, but 6 2nd years, and 8 3rd years... I'm not entirely sure, though. Like what about Fred and George's year? Only Fred, George, and Lee are mentioned. . . And what about the Gryffindor girls in Harry's year? I only recall hearing about Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati, unless I am mistaken. . .
I think that the Sorting Hat sorts upon qualities, and each year can have a different number of students in a house. Just think if you were the only one in your house in your year! That would be so weird!!!

Oh, and now I agree that the house elves must put the beds and trunks in the rooms!
