Ron and Hermione pointed their wands at it too, so that the little golden cup sparkled in a three-way spotlight: the cup that had belonged to Helga Hufflepuff, which had passed into the possession of Hepzibah Smith, from whom it had been stolen by Tom Riddle.
Deathly Hallows, Ch. 26
Does Hepzibah Smith have any relation to Zacharias Smith? In the Muggle World, Smith is a ridiculously common name, but we’ve only ever met two wizarding Smiths, and they are both prominent Hufflepuffs. If it’s true, it would make Zacharias a distant descendant of Helga Hufflepuff.
Now you’re in the Hufflepuff basement, Everybody’s happy ‘bout their sorting hat placement. Plants smelling fragrant, faces complacent, We hard-working wizards who are tolerant and patient.
hannah abbott was a half-blood witch and a member of the abbott family. in 1991 she started attending hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and was sorted into hufflepuff House. she was in the same year as the famous harry potter.
Ok this is gonna sound Aweful and stupid probably but I REFUSE to buy gryffindor ANYTHING. Not because I hate the house (and I’m a slytherin anyways) but simply because I cannot stand the color. It looks terrible come on no one looks good in that color not even me. Harry would have even looked stunning in slytherin green. The red kills vibes.
Lol I totally get that. Imma Gryffindor and I hate the colors too. For one I’m not a major fan of red and definitely not a fan of yellow (my favorite color is blue actually), but also ita the colors of one of the teams I hate the most in the NFL: The Redskins……lol
Still, I buy my house’s merch tho lol.
You think you’ve got problems. Try finding Ravenclaw merch that knows what color “bronze” is. Everything official uses the stupid movie colors, and everywhere else the consensus is “bronze=orange.”
I’m starting to think us Hufflepuffs have an easier time with merch. We might have less of it compared to everyone-else (except Ravenclaws) but it’s in the same two colours all the time. Kind-of difficult to get black-and-yellow wrong.
