![]() We’ve produced the fewest Dark wizards of any house in this school. However, it’s true that Hufflepuff is a bit lacking in one area. We don’t shoot our mouths off, but cross us at your peril like our emblem, the badger, we will protect ourselves, our friends and our families against all-comers. I should have got a week of detentions, but Professor Sprout let me off with a warning and a box of coconut ice. ![]() I got into big trouble during my third year for duelling a Ravenclaw prefect who insisted that Bridget Wenlock had come from his house, not mine. Ravenclaws, in particular, assume that any outstanding achiever must have come from their house. So, as you can see, we’ve produced more than our fair share of powerful, brilliant and daring witches and wizards, but, just because we don’t shout about it, we don’t get the credit we deserve. Then there’s the world authority on magical creatures, Newt Scamander Bridget Wenlock, the famous thirteenth-century Arithmancer who first discovered the magical properties of the number seven, and Hengist of Woodcroft, who founded the all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade, which lies very near Hogwarts School. He was a Hufflepuff – as were the successful Ministers Artemesia Lufkin and Dugald McPhail. Want proof? Look up Grogan Stump, one of the most popular Ministers for Magic of all time. Hufflepuff is certainly the least boastful house, but we’ve produced just as many brilliant witches and wizards as any other. First of all, let’s deal with a perennial myth about the place, which is that we’re the least clever house. Now, there are a few things you should know about Hufflepuff house. Our house colours are yellow and black, and our common room lies one floor below the ground, on the same corridor as the kitchens. Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves. Congratulations! I’m Prefect Gabriel Truman, and I’m delighted to welcome you to HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE.
