Their capacity to be far more dangerous and cunning than their reputation would suggest, was also shown by the fact that of the four house common rooms, theirs was the only one that possessed an active defence mechanism against those who would try to seek unauthorised entry. Though a quiet and largely unassuming creature that most perceive to be harmless, the badger can be surprisingly vicious if provoked and capable of fighting off animals many times its size, especially if there is a threat to what it cares about. Hufflepuff's nature and reputation was perhaps best exemplified by its mascot, the badger. Hufflepuff firmly demonstrated its loyalty during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, when they were second only to Harry Potter's own house of Gryffindor in the number of students willing to stay and fight against Voldemort and his forces in the defence of their school.
Their cheerful and friendly demeanour could probably account for this achievement of the House. Hufflepuff was the house that produced the fewest Dark wizards throughout its history. It was not considered to be part of their nature. What made Hufflepuff differ from the other houses was the fact that they didn't tend to boast about these accomplishments. The Hufflepuff house had produced a great number of wizards and witches who would go on to be extremely successful and have great influence upon the history and course of the wizarding world, examples of such individuals including the famous Magizoologist Newton Scamander (a pioneer in the field of Magizoology), Arithmancer Bridget Wenlock (who discovered the magical properties of the number seven), Hengist of Woodcroft (founder of the all-wizard village of Hogsmeade) and former Minister for Magic Artemisia Lufkin (who was the first woman to hold the office and established the Department of International Magical Co-operation). However, this was merely a misunderstanding of the Sorting Hat's poem. " Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot o' duffers," - Wizarding opinion of the House Īccording to Minerva McGonagall, all four of the houses produced exceptional witches and wizards in their time, but due to Helga Hufflepuff's policy of accepting any student Hufflepuff is often thought to be the house of less talented wizards and witches. This was mended by 1998, where a majority of Hufflepuffs rose to defend Harry from Pansy Parkinson and later helped to defend Hogwarts. Hufflepuff appeared to have the least rivalry with the other houses, except in Quidditch, although the Triwizard Tournament did temporarily put a great deal of strain on the relationship between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, due to unusual circumstances of the selection of both Gryffindor student Harry Potter and Hufflepuff student Cedric Diggory as champions. Students in Hufflepuff were known to value everyone and treat them as equal. Hufflepuffs were usually accepting of everyone. Hufflepuffs were known to have a strong moral code, and a sense of right and wrong. Hufflepuff was the most inclusive among the four houses valuing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its students. It might be that due to their values, Hufflepuffs were not as competitive as the other houses, and were more modest about their accomplishments. Students belonging to this house were known to be hard-working, friendly, loyal, honest and rather impartial. Students sorted into Hufflepuff often demonstrated strong abilities in Herbology, owing to their correspondence to earth. The Hufflepuff point hourglass contained yellow diamonds. Hufflepuff corresponded roughly to the element of earth, and it was for that reason that the House colours were chosen: yellow represented wheat, while black was emblematic of soil. The Head of Hufflepuff was Pomona Sprout, and the Fat Friar was the House's patron ghost. The emblematic animal was a badger, and yellow and black were its house colours. Hufflepuff was the most inclusive among the four houses, valuing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members.
Its founder was the medieval witch Helga Hufflepuff.
