REPUTATION

According to McGonagall, all four of the houses have produced exceptional witches and wizards in their time. But due to Helga Hufflepuff's policy of accepting any student, Hufflepuff is often thought to be the house of less talented wizards and witches.+

However, this is merely a misunderstanding of the Sorting Hat's poem. The Hufflepuff house has produced a great many of successful and influential members of the wizarding world, such as the famous Magizoologist Newton Scamander.+

A great number of exceptionally skilled witches and wizards also have their origins on this house. What makes Hufflepuff differ from the other houses is the fact that they don't tend to boast about these accomplishments; it is not considered to be part of their nature.

Hufflepuff is the house that produced the fewest dark wizards throughout its history. Their cheerful and friendly demeanour can probably account for this property of the House.

Hufflepuff firmly demonstrated its loyalty during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, when they were second only to Harry Potter's own house of Gryffindor in the number of students willing to stay and fight against Voldemort and his forces in the defence of their school.

COMMON ROOM

- have never been seen by outsiders and is the only house with repelling devices in case of intruders.

As a security device to repel non-Hufflepuff students, tapping on the wrong barrel or incorrect number of times, results in one of the other lids bursting off +

drenching the impostor in vinegar.

However, once you make it through the tunnel entryway, the Hufflepuff dormitory is a quite cosy and welcoming place. The common room is a large, earthy, round room with low ceilings. The view from the round windows is of dandelions and grass.+

The decor emphasises the earthy-feel of the room with plants hanging and resting all about the room, some that even sing and dance. Burnished copper touchings with plush, cosy yellow and black patterned sofas and chairs welcome Hufflepuff students to relax and discuss.
