Hermione turning her clutch purse into a bag of holding is pretty cool.
When we were showing
Mary Poppins
to Matilda for the first time last weekend, I had a definite
Hey!.....ohhhhhh. Huh. I wonder whether she was a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw
moment when Mary pulled the potted plant and the lit lamp out of her carpetbag.
Are you sure she's not a Slytherin?
Rosy cheeks, cheerful disposition, plays games (all sorts), gives treats? Decidedly not a Slytherin.
Are you sure she's not a Slytherin?
That would be Julie Andrews, not Mary Poppins. I kid.
Okay, but Nanny McPhee is a Slytherin, right?
OMG, you're right, Dana. Slytherin through and through (meant in the best possible way, but, still; without a doubt).
I bet she and Mary Poppins were mortal enemies at Hogwarts.
Mary Poppins was obviously a Ravenclaw. Obviously.
I was thinking Ravenclaw for Mary Poppins but I wouldn't be surprised if the sorting hat gave her a choice.

According to canon the Sorting Hat gives everybody a choice. They just don't know they have a choice.
