Values
Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty, strong work ethic, and sense of fair play. The house prizes dedication, patience, and treating everyone equally. Members tend to be dependable, honest, and modest, often achieving great things through persistence rather than flashy displays of talent. Hufflepuff welcomes all students who value these principles.
Common Room
Located near the Hogwarts kitchens in the basement, the Hufflepuff common room is accessed through a barrel entrance requiring a rhythmic tap. The common room is cozy and welcoming, featuring low ceilings, round windows with views of rippling grass and dandelions, and comfortable furnishings in yellow and black. Plants hang from the ceiling, creating a warm, earthy atmosphere.
