Stell dir vor, du kommst nach Hufflepuff, ich glaub, ich würde abhauen, du nicht?
Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?
Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter und der Stein der WeisenAuf die ein oder andere Weise, ist Hufflepuff mein Lieblingshaus.
In many ways, Hufflepuff is my favorite house.
Joanne K. Rowling, Oktober 2012In Hufflepuff dagegen
Ist man gerecht und treu
Man hilft dem andern, wo man kann
Und hat vor Arbeit keine Scheu
You might belong in Hufflepuff
Where they are just and loyal
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil
Unser Emblem ist der Dachs, ein Tier, das häufig unterschätzt wird, weil es zurückhaltend ist, aber sich, wenn es angegriffen wird, gegen viel größere Tiere verteidigen kann, sogar Wölfe. Unsere Hausfarben sind Gelb und Schwarz, und unser Gemeinschaftsraum befindet sich im selben Korridor wie die Schulküchen.
Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves. Our house colours are yellow and black, and our common room lies one floor below the ground, on the same corridor as the kitchens.
Joanne K. Rowling in Wizarding WorldNiemand kann sagen, dass Hufflepuffs keine netten Menschen sind. Tatsächlich gehören sie zu den nettesten der Schule.
As for the Hufflepuffs, well, nobody could say they're not nice people. In fact, they're some of the nicest people in the school.

Joanne K. Rowling in Wizarding WorldNow, there are a few things you should know about Hufflepuff house. First of all, let's deal with a perennial myth about the place, which is that we're the least clever house. WRONG. Hufflepuff is certainly the least boastful house, but we've produced just as many brilliant witches and wizards as any other.
Joanne K. Rowling in Wizarding WorldThe entrance to the common room is concealed in a stack of large barrels in a nook on the right hand side of the kitchen corridor. Tap the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, in the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff", and the lid will swing open. We are the only house at Hogwarts that also has a repelling device for would-be intruders. If the wrong lid is tapped, or if the rhythm of the tapping is wrong, the illegal entrant is doused in vinegar.
Joanne K. Rowling in Wizarding WorldHufflepuff house is haunted by the Fat Friar, who was executed because senior churchmen grew suspicious of his ability to cure the pox merely by poking peasants with a stick, and his ill-advised habit of pulling rabbits out of the communion cup. Though a genial character in general, the Fat Friar still resents the fact that he was never made a cardinal.
Joanne K. Rowling in Wizarding WorldTrustworthy, loyal, and modest... all there, I see. And just a hint of tenacity, excellent! They'll appreciate that in Hufflepuff.
Sprechender Hut in Harry Potter: Die Magie erwacht"Aber jetzt hat ihr dieser große Hufflepuff-Spieler den Quaffel abgenommen, mir fällt sein Name nicht mehr ein, so ähnlich wie Bibble - nein, Buggins -"
"Er heißt Cadwallader!", sagte Professor McGonagall laut neben Luna. Das Publikum lachte.
"Now that big Hufflepuff player's got the Quaffle from her, I can't remember his name, it's something like Bibble - no, Buggins -"
"It's Cadwallader!" said Professor McGonagall loudly from beside Luna.
