THE SORTING HAT

Hu!epu" is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts

School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its founder was
the medieval witch Helga Hu!epu". Hu!epu" is the
most inclusive among the four houses; valuing hard
work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather
than a particular aptitude in its members. The
emblematic animal is a badger, and yellow and black
are its colours. The Head of Hu!epu" is Pomona
Sprout and the Fat Friar is the House's patron ghost.

Hu!epu" corresponds roughly to the element of

earth,[5] and it is for that reason that the House
colours were chosen: yellow represented wheat, while
black was emblematic of soil.[6] The Hu!epu" points
hourglass contains yellow diamonds.[7] Students
sorted into Hu!epu" often demonstrate exceptional
abilities in Herbology, owing to their correspondence
to earth.

Traits

Hu!epu"'s founder, Helga Hu!epu"

Students belonging to this house are known to be

hard-working, friendly, loyal, honest and rather
impartial. It may be that due to their values,
Hu!epu"s are not as competitive as the other
houses, and are more modest about their
accomplishments. Hu!epu" is the most inclusive
among the four houses; valuing hard work,
dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than
a particular aptitude in its students.

Hu!epu"s are known to have a strong moral code,

and a sense of right and wrong. Hu!epu"s are
usually accepting of everyone. Students in Hu!epu"
are known to value everyone and treat them as equal.

Hu!epu" appears to have the least rivalry with the

other houses, except in Quidditch, although the
Triwizard Tournament did temporarily put a great deal
of strain on the relationship between Gry#ndor and
Hu!epu", due to unusual circumstances of the
selection of both Gry#ndor student Harry Potter and
Hu!epu" student Cedric Diggory as Champions. This
was mended by 1998, where a majority of Hu!epu"s
rose to defend Harry from Pansy Parkinson and later
helped to defend Hogwarts.

WIZARDING OPINION OF THE HOUSE

The badger, Hu!epu"'s symbol

According to Minerva McGonagall, all four of the

houses have produced exceptional witches and
wizards in their time, but due to Helga Hu!epu"'s
policy of accepting any student Hu!epu" is often
thought to be the house of less talented wizards and
witches. However, this is merely a misunderstanding
of the Sorting Hat's poem. The Hu!epu" house has
produced a great many of successful and influential
members of the wizarding world, such as the
renowned Magizoologist Newton Scamander. A great
number of exceptionally skilled witches and wizards
also have their origins on this house, including noted
Arithmancer Bridget Wenlock, and former Minister for
Magic Artemisia Lufkin. What makes Hu!epu" di"er
from the other houses is the fact that it doesn't tend
to boast about these accomplishments; it is not
considered to be part of their nature.[8]

House ghost, The Fat Friar

Hu!epu" is the house that produced the fewest dark

wizards through out its history. Their cheerful and
friendly demeanour can probably account for this
property of the House. Hu!epu" firmly demonstrated
its loyalty during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998,
when they were second only to Harry Potter's own
house of Gry#ndor in the number of students willing
to stay and fight against Voldemort and his forces in
the defence of their school.

Common Room
Main article: Hu!epu" Basement

The Hu!epu" dormitories and common room have

never been seen by outsiders and is the only house
with repelling devices in case of intruders. They are
accessed through a pile of large barrels, found
stacked in a shadowy stone recess on a right-hand
side corridor near the kitchens. The barrel two from
the bottom, middle of the second row, will open if
tapped in the rhythm of 'Helga Hu!epu"'.

Hu!epu" Common room

As a security device to repel non-Hu!epu" students,

tapping on the wrong barrel, or tapping the incorrect
number of times, results in one of the other lids
bursting o", drenching the impostor in vinegar.

However, once you make it through the tunnel

entryway, the Hu!epu" dormitory is a quite cosy and
welcoming place; it always feels sunny. The common
room is a large, earthy, round room with low ceilings.
The view from the round windows is of dandelions
and rippling grass.

The decor emphasises the earthy-feel of the room

with plants hanging and resting all about the room,
some that even sing and dance. Burnished copper
touchings with plush, cosy yellow and black
patterned sofas and chairs welcome Hu!epu"
students to relax and discuss the interesting
specimens brought in by the Head of House,
Professor Sprout. A Hu!epu" student retires through
big, round doors in the walls of the common room to
their dormitory.[9][10]
