This is movie contamination. In the books, the Sorting Hat 
conversations happen all inside the head of the students. This 
explains for example why the boys didn't know that the Sorting Hat 
had considered putting Hermione in Ravenclaw. Moreover, in CoS, 
Harry is very troubled by the fact that the Sorting Hat wanted to 
put him in Slytherin, it's his dark little secret, and we are told 
that he hasn't mentioned it to anyone. And as far as I can remember, 
he still hasn't.
