Wands, wizards and Watson. 

Ryan Anderson, dad and IBMer, has created a real-life Sorting Hat with his two daughters, Lucy and Julia. By telling it a little bit about yourself, the hat quickly determines how brave, loyal, creative or ambitious a wizard you are - and will sort you into the right Hogwarts’ house. The magical hat is connected to two Watson Developer Cloud APIs, one that understands muggle-speak to transform speech into text, and the other is a natural language classifier trained in wizard history, to make the hard decision. What Hogwarts House do you think Watson would sort you into?
