I honestly don't know where that came from.

I have no idea who started it, but I've heard it on tons of sites and it bothers me to no end.

It's true though, Hufflepuffs aren't dumb, becoming an Auror is very difficult, they only except the best, but Tonks still made it.

And Cedric was the only seeker to ever beat Harry. He was also in the tournament...

Well, Harry never got a chance to enter the Tournament, because he was under-age! Also, Cedric only beat Harry because there were Dementors in the pitch.

Yeah, he was under-age he wasn't supposed to be in it! Stop using excuses :D (You know I'm not really arguing over this, right?)

depends who we're talking about i judge people indvidually rather then as a group. saying all hufflepuffs are stupid is like saying all blondes are dumb... not true.

Actually I think it's stupid and rude, but I just had to pick this!! <3 AVPM

You know what's funny? When we say "all Slytherins are mean" a Slytherin will say "not true, there was "Andromeda, and Snape and Regulus" and then "oh, ok". But when a Puff reponds to "Puffs aren't important" with "Tonks, Cedric, Ernie" he/she gets "so? It's only 3 people"

Hmm, that's true!

Yeah, it's very true.

HufflePuffs Are Not Stupid

who would even think such a thing

im sorry i had to pick this, i have so much starkid love i couldnt resist!

It's a stereotype, I'm part Hufflepuff!

It all depends on how you define stupid.

omg, aren't these questions getting worse. well, i just have to laugh at it, our house's and members' achievements will just have to speak for themselves, there's just no better way (for me), to turn stereotyping around. And it doesn't bother me, cos we Puffs know ourselves better, and that's all which matters to me.

These questions weren't put up because the asker truly believes that "Hufflepuffs are stupid," they were put up here so that we could all show that Hufflepuffs are NOT stupid.

You'll notice that the HUGE majority in this question believe the same thing as you.

None of these questions were put here to be rude or offensive. :)

It depends on who you're talking about. Hufflepuffs, as a whole are not stupid. An individual in that house may be stupid. Stupid people aren't purposely put into Hufflepuff. Just look at Crabbe and Goyle! Not too swift, and they were placed in Slytherin.

^ Well said.

I'm so ashamed of Crabbe and Goyle.

I wish to be a Hufflepuff, you know?

Because I totally agree with this statement.^

LoL the "What the hell is a Hufflepuff?" answer. <3 AVPM

Hey!
No one is stupid!

WHAT THE FREAKIN HELL???? WHO SAID THAT???

Tonks is an auror, Cedric was a triwizard champion and he could have won the Triwizard Tournament. So it is foolish to say they are stupid, I don't know why people think that everyone who is nice and lovely is stupid!

Why Hufflepuff should be the loser one of all the houses?? It's a house like any else!

If Tonks was in Hufflepuff and she's an auror, she is not stupid. If Ernie studies like 9 hours a day for his O.W.L.s, he isn't stupid... I have more to say....

Pottermore is the answer to these presumptions and false impressions. A great sort of details on the shrouded history of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw can be read in the website. Hufflepuff even had a longer list of great , brilliant wizards than Ravenclaw or Slytherin....So truly, the Pottermore information about Hufflepuff and its members is a revelation,
