[General wizards] What's the advantage of wearing large pointy hat ?
gpt
For starters, it keeps the rain off. Seriously, it's simply a very practical hat design - the wide brim protects your face from the rain, and the pointy profile means water just rolls off it.

For a second, it adds height. There's a reason British police used to wear those tall helmets (and royal guardsmen still wear those tall bearskins) - the ability to loom is very useful when trying to defuse a confrontation without having to turn everybody into newts.

And finally, it has the weight of tradition. You wear a pointy wizard hat, everybody knows you're a wizard. Wizards tend to get free upgrades on long-distance travel, the best tables at quality restaurants, and far fewer unscrupulous merchants trying to con them in the marketplace - they are, after all, well-known for being subtle and quick to anger.
