The link between Science and the magical realm has been confirmed as it comes in a form of a new spider species which was discovered by science researchers namely Javed, Ahmed, and  Rajashree Khalap. It was named after the sorting hat that was featured in the first sequel of the film because of its shape and appearance as well.

According to GamenGuide, Ahmed and Khalap have been avid fans of the Harry Potter films long before they started thier Science researchers career. They also both share the same passion towards the magical realm of Harry Potter and Science as well, because of this they started to venture on their own journey to seek something that could come close to the magical tale.

While on a venture, they encounter a new spider species that was still unknown to science, it was found near a small grove in the Western Ghats montain range of Karnataka. In the area it was said to be considered as a biodiversity hotspot meaning  that the area is swarming with wildlife of different species.

In the hotspot, there they found lots of species of different kinds, one in particular was the spider that resembles the sorting hat in the Harry Potter series. The spider was a blend of different colors and shades of brown but what made it different and strange was its shape that was triangular very much alike with the sorting hat found in the Harry Potter films.
