At the start of school, each of the new students is sorted into a House. That’s where the hat comes in; by the way, its job is to declare which House the new pupil will best fit into. There are four houses, each with their own characteristics: Hufflepuff • Colours: canary yellow and midnight black • Mascot: the e badger • Founder: Helga Hufflepuff • House Ghost: tee Fat Friar During the series, the Head of House is Professor Sprout, who teaches Herbology. The Hufflepuff Common Room is located close to the kitchens in the basement. The dormitories are connected to the Common Room by small tunnels, just like a beaver nest. Hufflepuffs value above all loyalty and hard work. They are known for their fair play and tolerance. Ravenclaw • Colours: blue and bronze If your children read Harry Potter, they might have been talking about Houses and a certain hat which seems to be talking in verse a lot.
