Hufflepuff

Loyalty-valuing wizarding house

Hufflepuff is one of the four houses at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series, associated with loyalty, patience, hard work, and fair play.

Outside the fictional context, calling someone a Hufflepuff suggests they're kind and dependable but perhaps unremarkable—the house lacks the glamour of Gryffindor or the ambition of Slytherin: I'm such a Hufflepuff—I just want everyone to get along.
