CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - An MIT student created a magical, Harry Potter-inspired invention called the “Thinking Cap.”

The cap can figure out what the person wearing it is thinking, then use that to sort them into a Hogwarts House.

It’s modeled after the famous “sorting hat” from J.K. Rowling’s famous series.

The creator of the cap says she hopes to use it to build students’ self-esteem.
