First of all, let’s talk about Hufflepuff house and its founder first.

Helga Hufflepuff was the founder of Hufflepuff, as you probably know, and she is a great representation of what it means to be a Hufflepuff. She thought everyone had the same right to education, she did not think that pure-bloods were better than half-bloods or people with non-magical parents. She possessed all the qualities of a true Hufflepuff, of course, being the founder of the house.

Here are some traits of Hufflepuff house: loyal, fair, just, hard-working, selfless, good work ethic, kind, patient, and trustworthy, and Hufflepuffs think justice is more critical than their own personal success. They try to create happiness and a great world for as many people as possible, which is very noble, but they are underrated and it’s a stereotype that they’re dumb.

The next chapter will talk about why this stereotype is dumb, and Hufflepuffs are not.
