The Life of Helga Hufflepuff (+WHY She Was the Most Important Founder) - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the Hogwarts Founders. Let’s get in to it.
If you think about the greatest founder of Hogwarts, who comes to mind?
If you value overall magical abilities, you might be tempted to choose Salazar Slytherin. Afterall, he created a secret, enchanted chamber right under the noses of the 3 other, original teachers at the school… and none of them ever found out.
But if you are fascinated by the legacy of wizards who triumphed over dark sorcerers, you’d likely suggest Godric Gryffindor. The students who enrolled in his house were among the strongest wizards in all of Europe. And in the 20th century, Gryffindors students were responsible for defeating not just Grindelwald, but also the far more terrifying dark wizard, Tom Riddle.
I’d imagine, even a few of you, would throw out Rowena Ravenclaw as your choice. Unlike the other founders, Rowena wasn’t interested in courage or pure-blood… she chose her students based on their intelligence. The greatest wandmaker in the world, the man responsible for giving both Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter the tools they needed to duel, Garrick Ollivander, was actually a graduate of Rowena’s house.
But I’m willing to claim that Helga Hufflepuff, the fourth and last founder of Hogwarts, might actually have been greater than all the rest.
Why?
Well, that’s what we’re going to talk about today when we look at her life and legacy.
Just like the other founders of Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff represented a unique part of the British isles.
Godric Gryffindor was born in the West Country of England, Rowena Ravenclaw in a narrow valley within the Scottish Countryside, and Salazar Slytherin in Ireland (although that last part is often contested).
But Helga, just like one of the most unique indigenous creatures in Britain, the green, Welsh dragons, hailed from Wales.
Although the ancient records of her hometown have been lost, we know that Helga was raised far away from the urban trading centers that bordered England, and instead grew up deep within the Welsh countryside, amidst its flowing creeks and low-rolling hills.

The layout of Hogwarts is confusing. Is there more than one Whomping Willow? Is the willow that Lily and Severus met under a Whomping Willow? Sometimes Hagrid's home is down a steep hill, sometimes it seems level to some portion of the school. I can't really wrap my head around it. Can you clarify the layout of the school?

Hufflepuffs weren't weak, they weren't dumb or cowards. They simply had nothing to prove to anyone. No one should have to prove their worth or ability. That was Helgas point. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons didn't seperate their students by qualities. Yet they all were impressive and worked together instead of rivalrys between themselves.

She excelled at Food Charms "Although you might be quick to dismiss.." I absolutely would not! Good, hearty food is vital to fuel the body, mind and spirit. As someone whom loves to cook (especially for others) There's a magical feeling in making others happy and content with a well prepared meal, and I'm sure it's no less fulfilling when waving a wand to say, spice up bland food or multiply a small quantity of comestibles in order to ensure that everyone gets enough.. Conjuring fresh ingredients out of thin air, fresh spices and herbs. Yeah, Roll that Beautiful Bean Sorcery!

[@Kingofredeyes]

Helga Hufflepuff is honestly the foundation of Hogwarts. No she doesn't get the infamy of Slytherin or the renown of Gryffindor because she wasn't involved in all the fantastical battles, or the ideals of supremacy. She wasn't judgmental towards of any those traits and instead valued those who would be loyal to those around them, and was willing to give anyone a chance. She was the type who did the hardwork that wasn't pretty, it wouldn't make you famous but without it, you really can't be successful. IMO without Helga Hogwarts fails as a school, lost in the elitism of the other founders who seemed to value everything about their students, except the students as individuals and people themselves.

[@MissusChanandlerBong]

I would argue all of these traits are important and necessary for magical community to survive and thrive... just depends on the circumstances... I'm sure the hufflepuffs and ravenclaws appreciated gryffindor's bravery and willingness to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts😅

I seriously doubt they'd turn away young wizards and just let the future of their community rot because they didn't make the cut of any other founder. I think Helga and her outlook ALLOWED the other houses to act on their preferences because she would take the lot of 'em, no matter.

[@barbiquearea]

True, people misjudge Hufflepuff as a dumping grounds for unremarkable young witches and wizards. But the way I see it Hufflepuff does allow students to flourish their talents but also lets them learn and collaborate with their fellow students who can bring their own specialties to the table. Maybe they won't all learn to be exceptionally brave, smart or cunning but they would be better at achieving a lot more by working harmoniously as a group.

[@adielbarrera9848]

I think they could reject students without endanger the future of their community, this is becouse in the founders time homeschooling was the norm (or at least it seems to me that way) and the idea of a school of magic was very innovative. So they could just send them back to their families.

[@barbiquearea]

I did enjoy your overview of Helga. I picture her as setting of the forbidden forest as a sanctuary for magical creatures and a place to dispose of less safe magical creatures rather than killing them. I also picture her setting up the Hogwarts kitchens not only to produce food for students but as a sanctuary for House Elves that had either been dismissal by their masters or where their masters had died.

[@williamgiusti7146]

1-Food magic is fantastic because starvation can kill wizards just as it kills muggles even if they take longer to die from it. 2-The movies and possibly the books make it seem like all the houses have the same number of students but in practice Hufflepuff likely has many more students than the other houses because they accept every good wizard/witch regardless of talent. Helga's contributions might not have been the most interesting to show in the dangerous conflicts of Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter but during the moments of peace when the magical world isn't in flames they are the ones which impact the lives of most people bar the crazy inventions from Ravenclaws.

[@jesseleeward2359]

I think the sorting hat balances it out so every house has the same number. I went to a boarding school. They did that with houses in my school. I do not know how they chose people for each house.

[@LostWallet]

just a thought: during the Deadly Hallow, the most taxing and harshest trial the trio have to endure was the stranded in the woods, which they were injured and on the run. but above all that, the most dangerous thing in that event was the lack of "food". Ron wound cant heal properly because he dont have enough nutrition, Harry caught the most pathetic fish in the world, Hermione use duplication charm to increase the amount of food they had, but it only reduce the nutrition in them, which make it useless. Food Charm is not useless now is it? if only they know more about food charm heh?

[@MissusChanandlerBong]

This is an excellent point...😅 I never thought about that

[@WatchThatFirstStep]

Helga Hufflepuff’s house should have produced the largest number of powerful witches and wizards throughout the centuries. Full stop. I've never heard a good reason why this wasn’t the case. This is my video request/suggestion. Hufflepuff house was portrayed as a dumping ground for unwanted magical children, a concession if a student failed THE goal of being sorted into an exclusionary house. The students (save Cederic Diggory) came off as mediocre, preferring to be with friends in the greenhouse than in the classroom. But that doesn’t fit with two of their major traits: hard-working and patient. Magic was innate yet can still be developed. That was an aim of the magical schools. Just as with other talents like music, hard work and patience to develop a skill over time ALWAYS outpaces someone who relies on talent alone. Given the house traits, including the sense of community and support, Hufflepuff should have been packed with students excelling at the practical application of magic. Meaning they are better at performing spells and in other disciplines. Modesty aside, that kind of power is apparent to others. Side note: Slytherin students also grow into power due to determination and ambition. (Except the ones relying on the belief of power by birthright.) A Hufflepuff and a Slytherin will get to the same place but by different means and reasons. I bring this up because a muggle-born or a half-blood with more of a muggle heritage than desired, who are perfect fits for Slytherin would be sorted into Hufflepuff.

[@idapetersson345]

Maybe Hufflepuff does produce a large number of powerful witches and wizards. We just don't hear about it because they don't necessarily brag about it

[@Gr0ot]

They quite literally DO NOT BRAG. That’s Hufflepuff. They do have the strongest wizards likely.

[@jesseleeward2359]

Yes I think Hufflepuff is the counterpart to Slytherin. And in many ways Ravenclaw is counterpart to Gryffindor. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor are related to 'talent' and 'promise' and 'youth' and the ideal world. Hufflepuff and Slytherin are related to reality and adulthood and the material world. Slytherin understands the reality of social connections and moral ambiguity when it comes to achieving success. Hugflepuff understands how grit and co operation and humility help you through life's obstacles. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor is to youth. Hufflepuff and Slytherin is to maturity.

[@ekinozcan3399]

It was Hufflepuff’s idea to build a magical school, Ravenclaw found the place for it. To me Hufflepuff cared about honest, clean and simple living, collectivism. She wasn’t pretentious like how the other founders were(in their respective ways) She saw value in every life. But of course, we live in a world where being loud and boisterous means a lot😅 real Puffs know themselves, their worth😉

Check the Wizarding Cards J. K. created for more information on her. Also remember magic is not restricted to one type of discipline. There are always different types of magic being borne in magic users. So Helgas' notion of excepting anyone child will guarantee her house of getting those students. Tonks was a Hufflepuff, so was the Charms professor, Newt and probably his brother along with Nicolas Flamle we're also I believe Hufflepuff. Check all the Wizarding Cards that J. K. created to find more Hufflepuffs. Hufflepuffs not only are accepting and supporting of others but kind but couple of those students in the Chamber of secrets seems to not fit the type.

Initially, Slytherin had every right to believe as he did about muggles. If I am honest I side Slytherin. Muggles will kill anything they can't understand, and erase anything they cannot exert complete dominance over. They slayed his kind most often without even knowing so during the witch trials and inquisitions. They deserve the hatred. However, my belief is he should have solidly not recognized them. They have a dimensional shift. Muggles and wizards literally have different dimensions, places on earth muggles CANNOT go.

Specializing in food charms and proficiency in combative/protective magic aren't mutually exclusive. Helga Hufflepuff was among the most powerful witches of the age, a master of charms and transfiguration. The patronus charm: of all the founders Helga was likely the one who taught it to advanced students. Also, all curses including the unforgivable, fiendfyre, etc. are charms. Nearly every spell used in battles… charms. Helga Hufflepuff would be extremely dangerous were she forced into a fight.

Helga was very important, indeed. No one, can disrespect her achievements and contribution, to the wizarding world. About her age, I thought for some reason, all of the founders, born in the year 950 AD, Hogwarts was founded in 990 AD, which means that if it's true, and they were all born in the same year, means they founded Hogwarts, when they were 39/40. Maybe it's the case, maybe Helga was 40 back then. We don't know when they were born, or when did they die, but we do know they created a legacy, no one can deny. And I don't think, there were never dark wizards and witches from Hufflepuff house, that can't be true. Probably there were, but not many. Maybe few enough, so you can count them on one or two hands.

video idea: the founders items but not the sword, cup, locket, and diadem. like we know salazar's wand ends up at ilvermorny, what about the others. i mean they could make very strong magical items, there has to be some history there id think.

I never felt bad for being in Huff, I like the philosophy.

[@macwelch8599]

How would Salazar Slytherin react to Harry Potter and his victory over Lord Voldemort?

[@darthseverus89]

In my opinion this is a theory worth dissecting especially if Albus Dumbledore was indeed the air of Gryffindor just think about that for a minute

[@salazarslytherin6575]

I object Not only did this Harry Potter person manage to kill my pet basilisk he also managed to defeat my only surviving descendant This is completely and utterly outrageous and unacceptable

[@kellysouter4381]

Philosophically. I'm a Slytherin. There will be other chances.

I may always be a Gryffindor but if the sorting hat had to choose another house for me, it seems that Hufflepuff was my other house which is awesome to know.

[@ryangerrard4048]

Didn’t the majority of hufflepuff fight in the war too? Nothing weak about hufflepuff they just don’t have an ego

It’s things like this that make me want to do a new character in HL and make sure he’s Hufflepuff. Thanks!

[@JustAnotherAccount8]

Despite her house, I find Molly Weasley to be the perfect embodiment of Hufflepuff. Shes kind and has a warmth to her, and shes easy to underestimate. However if you threaten those she loves, she is beyond fierce, even managing to best Bellatrix.

[@jaybird0312]

Molly is the embodiment of what every mother should strive to be

[@gracestupel4284]

Hufflepuff is definitely the greatest

[@Vchill1]

Ugh as a slytherin, I would honestly die for a hufflepuff💛🖤! My little sensitive baby

[@chelseaguess2787]

Can you make a video about relationships between magic folk and muggles? Especially if they have a kid that's magic? What happens? How do they tell their spouse about themselves or their child (ren) without breaking international statute of secrecy?

[@Daxsymbiote]

I am a Slytherin, but I wish I was a Hufflepuff.

[@Whocares158]

You can be a Slytherinpuff.

[@kertanrajpal6108]

If you truly wish to be a Huffie, then that means it's right house for you. We can be ambitious too! 💚💛

[@Manormouse-04]

I wouldn't so quickly dismiss a well timed food charms in the Suppression of dark wizardry.

Went to universal with my hufflepuff shirt and the shrunken head on the night bus said he never met a hufflepuff he didn’t like 😊🦡

Love the music.

[@schipperkeandcats3469]

Hufflepuf is my fav house yes they arent the most bravest or smartest or most cunning but they had a spot for anyone so had the best intentions in my mind

[@jonpendragon2066]

Hermione should of been raven claw

[@maximilianellis1311]

He made a video on why she wasn’t

[@audioblogs12]

Slytherin didn't like muggle borns because he didn't trust them to go home every year to the muggles who hated wizards and keep the school a secret. Did it not occur to him that the muggles who hate magic would also hate muggle-born wizards like they hate wizarding families?

[@anabelsierras14]

Yes, Definitely She Left The Most Important Legacy To Future Generations (Including The Stone Soldiers To Defend Everyone In The Battle Of Hogwarts, Instead Of Having Her Own, Little, Private Room - I love Gryffindor and Ravenclaw too, of course, just the other three founders almost destroyed a huge part of wizard education). 🕊️🦅💙

J.K Rowling's daughter once said something similar to that degree during an interview. Her daughter wasn't a Hufflepuff though she thinks everyone should be more like Hufflepuffs.

[@rosebud7233]

Hufflepuff pride! 🦡💛

[@ShadielCedre]

You should make a video about Rowena ravenclaw

[@ShadielCedre]

Yup

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

Despite being a Gryffindor, I didn't like the way Huffelpuffs were treated throughout the series, like they were lesser than the rest! Literally ANYONE can be brave and chivalrous, or smart or ambitious and cunning if they are raised a particular way. By accepting people just the same, no matter their upbringing or lack of wealth. Hardwork, true friendship, loyalty, humility and kindness throughout hardships in life, is a REAL power! You don't need to be in the spotlight to do good! ^^

[@jonathanrios5424]

Is there one for Rowena Raven Claw I've seen the one for godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin and this video but that's the one I'm missing

[@Disig]

And this is why I am proud to be a Hufflepuff.

This is by far the best channel for all things Harry potter love it!!!!

[@barteko.5218]

Helga Hufflepuff was the Greatest of the Hogwarts Founders. She was the only one who believed that all people are equal and no one should be discriminated against for any reason. There are no better or worse. Humanity still struggles to understand this truth in the 21st century.... She did not care about wealth, power; only on the happiness of others.

[@ChibagamingJP]

So proud to be a Hufflepuff

[@ericastones1052]

Have you done a video on portkeys yet?

[@IrishGermanNorwegian]

Given this, shouldn't the House of Hufflepuff quite a bit larger than the other three?

[@jesseleeward2359]

It is school houses. They had houses at my school. They get people together who might get along , but they have to keep the ratio.

[@evdokiaam]

I can't seem to find Rowena Ravenclaw's history here?

[@offsetb]

Accio Jimmy Dean sausage!

[@johnm9126]

Why doesn’t anyone ever tak about how Helga was the fiercest battle dancer of all. At the first ever Yule ball she battled Godrick and defeated him with the Huffle Shuffle.

[@jaybird0312]

The Huffle Shuffle 🤣🤣🤣🤣 its even funnier because she is portrayed as a bigger girl (I believe) 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tramander8380]

Wondering if anyone could help me clarify, I always thought the food at Hogwarts was prepared by house elves. Why would Hogwarts still need them if a food charm could be conjured?

[@mrdr0161]

Because food charms are illegal
