Appearance: Based upon the image by Lightmaker from JKR’s website (shown here), Hufflepuff has gingery red hair, blue eyes, and a plump figure. Canon, or artistic license? Only Jo (and Lightmaker) know for sure.
Home: According to the Sorting Hat, Hufflepuff came “from valley broad,” which Lexicon reader Ian tells us probably indicates Wales.
Skills: According to JKR’s website, Hufflepuff was particularly famous for her dexterity at food-related Charms. Many recipes traditionally served at Hogwarts feasts originated with Hufflepuff (JKR). Her Famous Wizard card states that “[s]he brought people from different walks of life together to help build Hogwarts and was loved for her charming ways.” (fw12). Another accomplishment of Hufflepuff’s was her concern for the treatment of House-elves in the Wizarding world. She made Hogwarts a refuge for them, and as a result they were treated more kindly there than elsewhere (PC122, PC130).
Artifacts: A small, magical golden cup with two finely wrought handles, engraved with a badger (HBP20, HBP26).
Device: Badger.
Colors: Yellow and black.
