Hufflepuff

Hufflepuff is one of the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Founded by Helga Hufflepuff, the house emphasizes hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Its members are encouraged to be inclusive and supportive, and the house is often described as welcoming diverse talents and temperaments rather than chasing ambition or cunning alone.

Emblem and colors: The Hufflepuff crest is a badger, and the house colors are yellow and black. The house ghost is the Fat Friar. The common room is located in the lower corridors of Hogwarts, near the kitchens, and is described as warm, comfortable, and full of earth-toned decor.

Notable members include Cedric Diggory, Pomona Sprout, Nymphadora Tonks, Newt Scamander, Ernie Macmillan, and Justin Finch-Fletchley.

Role and reputation: In the narrative, Hufflepuff is associated with reliability, loyalty, and steady effort. While not singled out for bravado or cunning, its members have contributed significantly to Hogwarts and the wider wizarding world, including victory in the Triwizard Tournament when Cedric Diggory represented the school.
