Why Hufflepuffs Are Incredibly Underrated

Why Hufflepuffs Are Incredibly Underrated
Tumblr

When I finally took the Pottermore Sorting Hat quiz, I couldn't help but feel disappointed with my result. Hufflepuff... seriously? I had always thought Hufflepuffs were the weak bunch of the wizarding lot, the house that no one cares about. But I've come to realize that Hufflepuff is the best, most underrated house ever. Here's why:

1. We make the best friends

By definition, Hufflepuffs are loyal, kind, and true. We stand by our friends no matter what and we aren't the type to exclude people or be mean. In fact, some might say we're almost too loyal.

2. We have some of the coolest people

Not only do we have Cedric Diggory (hello, Robert Pattinson!), we also have John Green and Rupert Grint. That's right, the real life Ronald Weasley is a Hufflepuff. And most importantly, who could forget this heroine?

... 'nuff said.

3. J.K. Rowling loves us

In an interview, Rowling said "in many, many ways Hufflepuff is my favorite house," praising the way Hufflepuffs rushed to defend their classmates during the Battle of Hogwarts: "Now, the Gryffindors comprise a lot of foolhardy and show-offy people. That’s just the way it is. I’m a Gryffindor, I’m allowed to say it. You know, there’s bravery and there’s also showboating, and sometimes the two go together. The Hufflepuffs stayed for a different reason. They weren’t trying to show off, they weren’t being reckless. That’s the essence of Hufflepuff House."

4. We're really chill


Hufflepuffs don't get all bent out of shape over silly stuff. We're too busy doing awesome things, like winning the Triwizard Tournament and er, herbology.


5. We're just overall awesome

You can't argue with the facts: we produce the least amount of dark wizards, our common room is closest to the kitchen, our ghost is really chill, and we don't have any major rivalries. Plus, badgers are pretty dang cute.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
