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.

Get the The house cup tournamentmug. One of the University of Pennsylvania's college houses. Although it is considered by many to be the "black dorm", there is a good amount of ethnic/racial diversity. The house is ran by the iron-fisted Ms. Trish who loves to send a 1000 emails in the span of hours. While there is no A/C and kitchenettes are a joke, the rooms are quite large.
Person1: Hey, where do you live?
Person2: Dubois College House.
Person1: Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that.

Get the Dubois College Housemug. "This ain't no French house," she said as she kicked the girl out. (paraphrased as used by William Faulkner)

Get the French Housemug. Ironic question asked, often jabbing a thumb over the shoulder, when someone who considers him or herself a Grand Pooh Bah has just entered the room. From Irish comic Brendan O'Connor's kitschy pop hymn with the refrain, "Who's in da house? Jesus in da house!"

Get the Lil house phonemug. A home that was horribly flipped by a newbie millennial, who paid big bucks to listen to a lecture from Joe Shmo, or watched a house-flipping show on TV.
