I'm A Hufflepuff

"You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil"
- The Sorting Hat

In other words, they exist to make the other wizards look cool and interesting.

I always felt that two of Rowling's real failings in the series were 1) never providing an interesting Hufflepuff; and 2) failing to provide a single heroic Slytherin at the big fight at the end (unless you count Snape, but it's bothersome that not a single Slytherin kid stayed behind).; 12:09 PM

Jennifer said...: If I ever do Harry Potter RP, one of my character concepts IS a non-evil Slytherin.; 4:59 PM
Rob Barrett said...: Slughorn came back after taking the Slytherin kids to safety in Hogsmeade, and he's a Slytherin. But the point that not a single Slytherin *kid* resists Voldemort is well taken.; 5:51 PM
richard said...: You know HP and the Methods of Rationality? I was startled and then convinced by his observation that the only two houses that really matter are Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, ie the people with the brains to have ideas and the people with the work ethic to make them happen. The other two houses are about thwarting eah other, which isn't very productive, all things considered.; 8:59 PM

Risus Monkey said...: According to the Potter wiki (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hufflepuff), Cedric Diggory and Nymphdora Tonks were Hufflepuff. Go figure...

@Jenna: I'm with you. First thing I thought of for a character idea.

@Rob & Theron: Agreed. You'd think at least one Slytherin kid would have actively fought against Voldemort.

@richard: Hah! So true. :); 10:32 PM

Kaptain Kobold said...: Slytherin just seemed to be a house for baddies. I never understood why the school didn't, when a child was selected for Slytherin, just have them quietly killed in order to avoid future difficulties :); 1:26 AM
Norbert said...: Hahahaa! Just took the Sorting Hat test (http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Reviews/HarryPotter/Docs/Quiz-House.html), and turns out that I'm... Hufflepuff :); 5:38 AM
