Helga Hufflepuff

Home: According to the Sorting Hat, Hufflepuff came "from valley broad,"
Skills: According to JKR's website, Hufflepuff was particularly famous for her dexterity at food-related Charms. Many recipes traditionally served at Hogwarts feasts originated with Hufflepuff (JKR). Her Famous Wizard card states that "she brought people from different walks of life together to help build Hogwarts and was loved for her charming ways." Another accomplishment of Hufflepuff's was her concern for the treatment of House-elves in the Wizarding world. She made Hogwarts a refuge for them, and as a result they were treated more kindly there than elsewhere (PC122, PC130).
