Hufflepuff Pride
Here is Hufflepuff!!!!
Hufflepuff, founded by Helga Hufflepuff, is the most inclusive among the four houses, valuing hard work and patience and friendship, justice and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members. Its emblematic animal is the badger, and yellow and black are its colours (purple and yellow in the video games.) Professor Pomona Sprout is the head of Hufflepuff. The Fat Friar is its ghost. According to Rowling, Hufflepuff corresponds roughly to the element of earth. The Hufflepuff common room and dormitories are located somewhere in the basement, near the castle’s kitchens.
Perhaps as a consequence of the broad principles of acceptance upon which it is founded, Hufflepuff has been stereotyped as the house of the unexceptional (or, more unkindly, as “a lot o’ duffers”). One Hufflepuff of note is Cedric Diggory, who brought his house rare glory as its Quidditch captain and Seeker, and later as Hogwarts’ champion in the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In Book 1, Professor McGonagall stated that all four of the Houses had produced exceptional witches and wizards in their time, so, though the House is said to have forgone glory for centuries (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), it is not without its share of exceptional individuals. One theory in fandom is that the magical skills of Hufflepuffs may generally be average, but that they are exceptional people, though this has no particular grounding in the canon.
A few notable Hufflepuffs (for a complete list, see List of characters in the Harry Potter books. Also see Minor Hufflepuffs):
* Cedric Diggory
* Pomona Sprout
* Hufflepuffs in Harry Potter’s year (Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Ernie Macmillan)
* Zacharias Smith
* Hepzibah Smith
And the winner is…

Hi! Just using google.
Tonks was Hufflepuff too, let’s not forget it. :)
I am one proud Hufflepuff. Everytime i find some people speaking of Hufflepuffs in bad tone, ( leftovers, nerds, hardworking and “normal” etc.) i get chills.
People dond’t like to be or just don’t like hufflepuffs because of many little sad reasons like “They are so…. normal” or ” ..boring” and that’s it. That’s very sad in my opinion.
I don’t see that. I think that Hufflepuffs are great house! I am honest, loyal, friendly and have patience. That doesn’t mean i am grey little mouse in a hole and do my work like a slave. I can be bossy, brave and mean time to time. I can be hero and in someones eyes a foe.
Ah, here i go again.
A Proud Hufflepuff, thoroughtly.
