My Hogwarts' House




Hufflepuff House

Hufflepuff House was founded by and named after Helga Hufflepuff. She was one of the four greatest wizards of her time. She came up from the valley to build Hogwarts Castle and to start a school for young witches and wizards to learn how to use their powers so they wouldn't alarm the muggles.

Hufflepuff, values hard work, loyalty, patience, friendship and fair play above all else. Its animal is the badger, and canary yellow and black are its colours. The Fat Friar is its ghost. According to Rowling, Hufflepuff corresponds roughly to the element of earth. The Hufflepuff dormitories and common room are located somewhere in the basement, near the castle's kitchens. Very few Hufflepuff members are specifically mentioned, and, in general, they are not seen much in the Harry Potter books. Cedric Diggory is the most famous Hufflepuff known in the series. He was selected to be the Hogwarts champion in the Triwizard Tournament.

My Pirate Name



My pirate name is:


Black Davy Rackham



Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!
