You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil.

Or,

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot,
And treat them just the same."

Hmmm. Equality. Non-discrimination. Loyalty. Hard work. Perseverance. Patience. Honesty. Fairness. Justice.

Funny how "mediocre" doesn't fit in there.

But 'boring' does.

whatever our dorms are near the kitchen

Best response.

Proper hobbits o' the shire, you'd be. Bit bland, but respectable.

Hobbits are awesome!

I also think quite a few Dwarves would end up Hufflepuff too - the ones who have a craft and really want to do it. Dwarves are hardworking, and I believe loyal too (as well as incredibly stubborn).

Aww, yeah. ;)

A+

yes

How is it boring? It's only boring if you literally have NO other personality traits whatsoever. Which is bullshit. I mean, look at the range of characteristics in Ravenclaw -- Cho Chang AND Luna Lovegood? Or Gryffindor -- Hermione is super-smart and yet she's not in Ravenclaw, she's in Gryffindor. Therefore Gryffindor isn't a load of dumb reckless Vikings doing constant daredevil stunts all day. There's a lot of personality diversity.

Yes, this. Just because the only Puffs we see are the normal ones, doesn't mean there's no diversity. And JKR seemed bent on making every Ayltherin in the books a nasty person, but again, doesn't mean there aren't boring or mediocre Slytherins.

She did and didn't. I feel like part of her reason for writing in Slughorn was to try to rectify the damage she did by making them all jerks before. Now Sluggy isn't a perfect person, but he's also not a bad person. I feel like Book 6 was a little late to rectify some of that though.

Yeah, justice is so boring. I hate it. Let's get rid of it.

I'm not in the fandom but now I'm totally picturing Hufflepuff as where all the 'leftovers' go, so that's the house that's got all the goths, and the emo kids, and the steampunk scene and the theatre geeks and the mathletes and any other teen 'fringe' group that's out there.

It's a common viewpoint. I always saw it a different way - that Helga Hufflepuff felt that you should have access to education whether or not you are a pureblood, or show bravery/intelligence at 11 year old. That shutting out those who did not fit into those groups would not be fair. Fairness being one of the defining Hufflepuff traits.

IDK I took it as an example of fair play, instead of face value 'LOL I'll take the leftovers'

I always thought Helga Hufflepuff sounded like the wisest member of foursome. Gryffindor sounded sort of cool too, what with the random "HEY! Let's use my hat! :D" and stuff, but after hearing the other make all these grand sweeping declarations about how bravery/purity/intelligence is ~so important~ having her be so sweet and say that she'll take everyone and not discriminate sounded like a bit of a reprimand to the others.

Although really, I don't think Slytherin was *necessarily* that much of a dickwad. I mean, maybe he was just really sick of wizards being persecuted all the time by muggles. It was the middle ages, right?

There is that about Helga. But so much sweetness can be galling to some so I can see why somebody might not think it's the right fit for them. Best they go where they belong.

To be quite fair I don't think any *real* wizards or witches were being persecuted. Real ones wouldn't let them get away with it. Unfortunately, Muggle scapegoats suffered. (Which is exactly what happened irl except without the actual witches/wizards existing. But it's easy to see how their presence would have fueled the "burn the witch!" bullshit of the middle ages and time immediately following, in canon.)

I've always seen Hufflepuff as the "wisdom, kindness, and practical pragmatic morality" house.

Well, mathletes would probably be in Ravenclaw, but I like the idea that the people who don't fit in would also tend to go into Hufflepuff. It's great for the odd people to be grouped with other odd people rather than be hammered into a mold of ambitious or scholarly or daring.

Ravenclaw's where most of the odd kids go. I feel like the most normal kids are in Hufflepuff. Not necessarily mediocre- Cedric was a Puff, after all. There'd be a lot of kids who excelled there, in fact, due to the fact that they're not the types who half-ass things.

Those types seem more Ravenclaw to me. Ravenclaw's more likely to draw in the brainy, geeky, artsy, or weird kids.
