Hufflepuff Common Room

The Hufflepuff Common Room is located in the Hogwarts cellars, near the kitchens. Like the kitchens, the Hufflepuff Common Room is accessed through a still life painting.

The room itself is a cozy round room with a pot belly stove in the centre. It has many round doors scattered around the edges and these open into tunnels that lead to each dormitory.

The drawing has a firepit because... fire is pretty?

Little is known about what makes a Hufflepuff, with members of our house often being regarded as others around the school as "leftovers" or simply not outstanding enough to be sorted into one of the other houses. Some will even tell you this is backed up by the old legend that Helga Hufflepuff "took all the rest."

However, Helga's very willingness to accept any student into her house is exactly what makes Hufflepuff and its members special. Unlike every other house, which each have some unifying factor binding their students together, Hufflepuff is diverse. This is perhaps why Hufflepuff students have a reputation for loyalty and kindness but not much else. Because their house accepts people of all abilities, no one ability or trait stands out as being more valuable than the rest.
