It's a popular thing among the Harry Potter fandom to put Hufflepuff down as the "leftovers" house, simply because Helga Hufflepuff said she would take the lot and teach them just the same. Know what Helga Hufflepuff wasn't? Prejudice. Stuck up. Arrogant. Look, I'm a Ravenclaw--the house with the greatest conglomeration of intellect--does that mean all smart individuals or ONLY smart individuals go to Ravenclaw? Heck no. Hermione is proof of that.  In fact, Ravenclaws, while proven to be the more studious, bookish crowd, are often also the weirdest/quirkiest. From Luna Lovegood to Padma Patils. Not all Gryffindors are brave. Helloooo Peter Pettigrew. Not all Slytherins are wicked. Thank you, Regalas Black, Severus Snape, and MERLIN is even rumored to have been a Slytherin (depends on whether or not the net is right). So while the Slytherins and Gryffindors (and yes, even some Ravenclaws) hate on the Huffs, I'm here to stand with them and defend them: Tonks was a Hufflepuff. Cedric was a Hufflepuff. Newt Scamander, Pomona Sprout, and many Ministers of Magic! GUYS! Zachariah Smith is a Hufflepuff! The snarkiest, creepiest punk that ever did walk the halls and NOT be a Slytherin! That right there shows that they aren't all dotty, simpletons like they're treated. Hufflepuffs are strong and loyal as hell. They'll stand beside you until the end. They're brave and wise and yes, even cunning. And excuse me, but do you realize their house symbol is a badger? Badgers are dangerous AF! Don't you know why we say Honey badgers don't give a damn? Because they don't. THEY EAT COBRAS! Watch out, Slytherin.   Maybe Hufflepuffs aren't the leftovers, but the ones who don't go to the other houses because they aren't just ONE THING. They're so much more than that! Rowling herself has called this year the Dawn of the Hufflepuff. Let's not have her fans disappoint her by hating on our fellow students and alumni. If Harry had been sorted into Hufflepuff, would we be saying this about one of the other houses? Stop the #Hufflehate.  Shape up and shut up. United we stand against the dark arts in this world. Don't make the fandom a negative place. Embrace a Hufflepuff today!

I am not a hater of Hufflepuff, but I definitely prefer the Gryffindor house. Gryffindor is the house that I can relate in because they are so brave and they like to fight for their friends. You can ask all of my friends and they would bear witness to me being protective as a friend. I always make sure to defend them from all of their haters. I value all of my friends, so I do not like it whenever someone makes fun of them. 3/19/2018 05:00:07 am
I considered myself as a Potterhead that's why I did enjoy reading this article of yours. I actually understand your side about the Hufflepuff. I do think that Hufflepuff is not a "leftover house". As what you have said they had Cedric which is one of the characters in Harry Potter that I do admire the most. As what I know, Hufflepuffs value hard work, dedication, patience and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members. But of course, all of us have our own favorite houses. And with that being said, I have to say that my favorite house is Gryffindor. For me, they are the bravest students of Hogwarts. 7/2/2018 03:43:40 am

I'm a hufflepuff and let me just say it's a relief to find something like this. I have received hate and backlash for being a Hufflepuff ever since i was sorted at 11 (i am now 16). It has been very very difficult but I have always stood up for my house. Thank you for standing with me. No one in my family is a hufflepuff (mainly Gryffindors and Ravenclaws) so it's been a bit tougher cuz they too tease me. So thank you so so much for supporting the Hufflepuff community <3 5/13/2021 09:40:18 pm
I’m so glad and thankful that you found this post, Jasmine. I’m sorry you’ve felt teased for being the amazing, beautiful, loyal, fantastic Hufflepuff that you are! Leave a Reply. |
