Hufflepuffs are known for their kindness, and that is a big reason for them being such humble individuals. They do not look to ruffle feathers, and they want to make everyone happy instead of seeking attention for their own achievements.
Arguably the most lovable of the Hogwarts houses, thanks to their kind and caring nature, Hufflepuffs would most likely be suited to other Hufflepuffs or to Gryffindors. Hufflepuff-Hufflepuff relationships could be incredibly loving, with excellent communication and a strong sense of commitment.
Although there are strengths to every house, Hufflepuff house in particular often comes up short. While the other houses seem cool and invite a certain allure, Hufflepuff is a little different. Often considered the least desirable of all the sorting options, here are some reasons why Hufflepuff house is the worst.
Gryffindor. Gryffindor house is where you would find the pluckiest and most daring students (there's a reason the house symbol is the brave lion). The house colours are scarlet and gold, the common room lies up in Gryffindor Tower and the Head of House is Professor Minerva McGonagall.
Even J.K. Rowling says that Hufflepuff is her favorite House. It's produced the fewest Dark wizards of all four Houses. Hufflepuffs are down-to-earth.
From the moment Draco Malfoy snarked: 'Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you? ' it established Hufflepuff house as somewhat of an underdog. Hufflepuff is the most underrated house at Hogwarts. Gryffindors may have the confidence to ask people out.
Ravenclaw. Known for their wisdom, wit, and creative intelligence for solving problems, students of Ravenclaw are often assumed to be the smartest of their peers.
Hufflepuff has produced the least amount of Dark wizards
Although Hufflepuff is not exactly known for its glorious victories in the Hogwarts House Cup, it gets points for not producing that many evil wizards, Death Eaters, and Lord Voldemort-types.
So it's no big surprise that Ravenclaw house has the reputation of being the smartest house in the world of Harry Potter. While the vast majority of Ravenclaw students are at least above average in their intelligence, being in Ravenclaw certainly isn't a guarantee that someone is smart.
ENEMIES. Slytherins and Ravenclaws - Slytherins hate rules and Ravenclaws are ingenious. Together they can take over the world or create amazing spells. Or they can hate eachother with a fury and rage.
Although he was intelligent and bookish, Quirinus Quirrell was the weakest of the Hogwarts professors—mostly due to his extremely timid nature.
Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), aka Tom Riddle, was described by Dumbledore as one of the best students ever to graduate Hogwarts as well as "the most dangerous Dark wizard of all time." Before he had even learned about the existence of the Wizarding world, he was terrorizing his fellow orphans with impressive but ...
Tom Riddle/Voldemort
Professor Dumbledore once said that Tom Riddle, a.k.a. Lord Voldemort, a.k.a. "He Who Must Not Be Named" (Ralph Fiennes/Hero Fiennes Tiffin/Christian Coulson), was the most brilliant student that Hogwarts has ever known.
Six ghosts are specifically named in the books: the four House ghosts (Nearly Headless Nick of Gryffindor House, the Fat Friar of Hufflepuff House, the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw House, the Bloody Baron of Slytherin House); Professor Binns, the History of Magic teacher; and Moaning Myrtle.
Out of all of the responses, Thunderbird was the clearly dominant house in terms of Ilvermorny sortings. Surprisingly, Pukwudgie was next, with 25%, beating out Horned Serpent, with 23%. Wampus was by far the rarest of the Houses, with 12%.
Gryffindor: Harry Styles
"He has got a lovely, lovely character. It's a gift."
Taylor Swift – Gryffindor.
Daniel Radcliffe has never confirmed whether or not he's taken the sorting quiz but has said that, as far as he's concerned, he's a Gryffindor like Harry. “I absolutely think I would be in Gryffindor!” Radcliffe wrote in a Reddit AMA.
1 Voldemort – Harry Potter
He who should not be named makes the number one spot. Voldemort is known for his viciously evil nature. He has wiped out entire generations of Wizards for standing against him, and his power in the dark arts knows no equal.
Dumbledore may have been a legendary wizard, but he can't be compared to, well, Merlin, a wizard so legendary even Muggles know of his exploits. Merlin was the world's most famous wizard, and, arguably, the world's most powerful.
The most powerful wand in the entire Harry Potter universe is the Elder wand — one of the three Deathly Hallows. Made out of the tail hair of a Thestral, the wand can only be handled by the strongest of wizards. Made by Death itself, the wand can be used with the other Deathly Hallows to make one the master of Death.
Worst: Lucius Malfoy
Lucius Malfoy is pretty clearly a bad person, but he's a perfect example of how banal cruelty and evilness can be. Lucius likes to control, humiliate, and cause people pain, but he's also too weak and self-absorbed to really become one of the evil "greats," so to speak.
