You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil
— The Sorting Hat, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Hufflepuffs are the literal greatest people ever. They’re the best friends you could possibly have. If you want to have a great relationship with your friends, you should just be friends with all Hufflepuffs.

While Gryffindors and Slytherins crave being in charge and crave power, the only people who are really willing to put in the work to get all of that stuff are Hufflepuffs. And you want them to have it! You want all of your politicians to be Hufflepuffs because they’re hard-working, just, and loyal but they don’t crave power.

They also don’t walk around telling everyone that they’re smarter than you, even though they are (unlike some people *cough, cough* Ravenclaw *cough, cough*). In conclusion, Hufflepuffs are THE BEST.
— Sequoia Simone, Noted Slytherin

Personally I think this is really important, possibly more important than anything else we’ll do this year, even with our O.W.L.s coming up.

My name was down for Eton, you know. I can’t tell you how glad I am I came here instead. Of course, Mother was slightly disappointed, but since I made her read Lockhart’s books I think she’s begun to see how useful it’ll be to have a fully trained wizard in the family....
— Justin Finch-Fletchley
