This is my first post. I have tried to see if this has been covered 
elsewhere. I apologise if it has been. Last night I sat down with my 
8 year old daughter to watch Philosophers Stone for the umpteenth 
time. We got to the sorting ceremony and she asks- "Their ties, robe 
bagdes and scarves are the colour of their houses, as they have not 
yet been sorted how do they know what colour tie to buy and wear?"  
If you look at the students waiting to be sorted they are indeed 
already wearing there house colours. I was stumped. Explained it away 
as artistic licence. Any thoughts?
