the house that Jack built 

A really cool-looking house; a large house, mansion

The origin comes from the nursury rhyme "The house that Jack built" It is unsure who "Jack" really is, but it is believed that he may have been Jesus, since Jesus was a carpenter.
Man! I knew that Bill Gates guy was rich, but have you seen his house? THAT is the house that Jack built!

The house cup tournament 

The house cup tournament began with the first generation of Hogwarts students. One student from each of the houses will complete a series of dangerous tasks. The winner would not only win the cup, he would win eternal glory. If I remember correctly, the house cup tournament was disbanded after one semester when one of the students died. Don't worry, it was a Hufflepuff.
Quirrell: The house cup tournament is a time-honored tradition, but where does this competition come from and what are the roots of the competition?

Hermione Granger: The house cup tournament began with the first generation of Hogwarts students.

Quirrell: That was a rhetorical question.
