One of the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because they are not known for their bravery, intelligence, or ambition, Hufflepuff is commonly looked over. In truth, however, Hufflepuff houses the students with some of the most crucial characteristics: kindness, generosity, and acceptance. They also tend to be hard workers.Students of Hufflepuff also tend to be a bit more fun and foolish, as the saying goes, "Work Hard, Play Harder".
Gryffindors are brave,
while Slytherins are cunning and ambitious,
and Ravenclaws are smart and bookish.
However, those of Hufflepuff,
are those with big hearts and a smile,
the peace-makers of the Wizarding World.
That does NOT make us wimps!

Hufflepuffs are known for being kind, loyal and loving. That is true. They are the kindest friends ever. Always caring for you, and are there when you need help.

They are sometimes known as weak. That is where you are wrong. If you ever, I mean EVER make them mad, you will regret it for probably the rest of your life. They may look sweet and innocent on the inside, but they are the exact opposite if you make them mad.

So watch out.
Person 1,"Hufflepuffs are weak!"
Fellow Hufflepuff, "WHAT did you just say?! Just try, to say it again, and see if you live..."

Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders.
I FIND this to be quite troubling.

Hey, Harry. I FOUND something.

One of the four Hogwarts houses, noted for loyalty, hard work, modesty, and a mix of other traits from the other houses. Colours for Hufflepuff are black and yellow and their animal is a honey badger. Hufflepuff is considered an undesirable house and loses the house cup rather often. The founder of Hufflepuff is Helga Hufflepuff, a witch who would accept all into her house. The common room is located by the school kitchens and is the only house to have a common room defenseman mechanism. The current known head of house is Pomona Sprout and the Hufflepuff ghost is the Fat Friar. Hufflepuff has produced the fewest dark wizards and many of its students fought during the Second Wizarding War.
Cedric Diggory was a notable Hufflepuff who was killed at the hands of Peter Pettigrew on command of Lord Voldemort.

A person who is in the house of Hufflepuff, from the school of Hogwarts in Harry Potter. A Hufflepuffer is usually kind, loyal, outgoing, and popular. If you have a Hufflepuffer as a friend, you should feel lucky. They will stick with you for life. If you’re a Hufflepuffer yourself, be proud! Hufflepuffers are the kindest of all the Hogwarts houses.
Person 1: Man, that girl over there is so sweet!
Person 2: Yup, she’s a Hufflepuffer!
