What are wizard hats? Why do many wizards in books and movies wear them? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, Gandalf… what unites them all? Yes, they all are wizards, but they all also wear hats. Why do they do it? Do hats play such a great role for the image of wizards and what are they used for? When we talk about magic or wizards\u00a0we imagine pointy hats. According to Waldman (2013)\u00a0such hats were popular and were worn\u00a0throughout history, but they started to be associated with magicians only since\u00a01710s and 1720s\u00a0when the publishers of cheap books for children in England began illustrating wizards and witches with robes and big\u00a0wide-brimmed\u00a0pointy hats.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows\u00a0why wizards wear hats, but we can assume a few reasons for it. One of the assumtion is that the “Wizard hat” makes his owner stand out in the crowd, be\u00a0notable,\u00a0mysterious\u00a0and shows\u00a0that his owner is a wizard. The other theory is that the hat is intended for doing magic tricks like taking rabbits or some items out of it.\u00a0We can assume\u00a0that a hat may be a sign of wisdom. Let’s re\u00a0to the book series about Harry Potter by\u00a0J. K. Rowling.<\/p>\n

One of the magical attributes was the Sorting Hat, which was the only one wise to decide, where each initiate should belong: Gryffindor,\u00a0Hufflepuff,\u00a0Ravenclaw or\u00a0Slytherin. “There’s nothing hidden in your head\u00a0the Sorting Hat can’t see,\u00a0so try me on and I will tell you\u00a0where you ought to be” (Rowling, 1998, p. 93).<\/p>\n

We can \u00a0think a lot about the reasons for wearing “Wizard Hats” by magicians, but nobody can give us better answers, than wizards themselves.<\/p>\n
