After the Sorting was done people started eating the food that had appeared on the thousands of Golden plates that were scattered across the table. When the puddings, had been demolished, and the last crumbs had faded off the plates, leaving them sparkling clean, Albus Dumbledore got to his feet again. The buzz of chatter filling the Hall ceased almost at once, so that only the howling wind and pounding rain could be heard. "So! Now that we are all fed and watered I must ask for your attention while I give out a few notices..." Dumbledore said, smiling around at them all. "Mr Filch, the caretaker, has asked me to tell you that the list of objects forbidden inside the castle has this year been extended to include Screaming Yo-yos, Fanged Frisbees and Ever-Bashing Boomerangs. The full list comprises some Four-Hundred and Thirty-Seven items, I believe, and can be viewed in Mr Filch's office, if anybody would like to check it." The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched.
