Sorting Hat

I'm reading "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" with my six year old. Either we read it together or he reads it by himself. He actually is quite pleased with himself. And I'm impressed. He's enjoying the book quite a bit.
I really enjoy the Harry Potter series and am looking quite forward to the publication of "HP and the Half Blood Prince" as well as the theatrical version of "HP and the Goblet of Fire."
This brings me to point #1. I'd like to reverse my negative impression of the movie "HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban." For one thing I was wrong about the dementors. It's true that in "HP and the Order of the Phoenix" a big deal is made of Harry repelling multiple dementors, but in the book of "HPATPOA" it indeed says that hundreds of dementors were descending on Sirius Black. I just have to assume that since no one (outside of Harry and Hermoine) knows about that encounter, it isn't mentioned in "HPATOOTP." I still think that Malfoy is made into a bit much of a caricature but I do enjoy the movie a lot more since we've watched it at home. Part of it was watching my children watch the "Knight bus" scene. It was great seeing them laugh so hard at the shrunken head. "Why the long faces?" Why indeed!
2) She's rich. She's famous. She lives in a castle in Scotland. But J. K. Rowling's not perfect. I noticed on page 122 of my edition of "HPATSS" that there is a mistake. If the pages are different in any other edition, it's at the end of the Sorting Hat ceremony.
3) Speaking of the Sorting Hat, to which house do you belong?


I'm a Ravenclaw!
UPDATE: My wife, my 14 year old joined me in Ravenclaw. Thought the 14 year old can do an excellent impression of Hermoine. My 12, 11 and 6 year old sons were sorted into Gryffindor.
