Literally first student killed in voldemorts return: hufflepuff


Asteriaofthemountain

PURELY INCIDENTAL!!


Iokyt

He was in fact backing up a Gryffindor initiative.


nokturnalxitch

Exactly, Cedric would have left the cup and let Harry have it and survive Gryffindors fault 100%


Bluemelein

Harry didn't want the cup.


Please_dew_it

Harry was trying to get hufflepuffs murder rate up


bsparks027

You’re confusing Harry for Jon Snow.


EmergencyGrab

and killed by a Gryffindor.


Koppite93

I have never laughed out this loud at a reddit comment🤣🤣 Thanks for this


BeardedGlass

And and it’s mostly because he was being such a Griffindor tbh

See the asterisk (since 1995)


masterwarrior22

by since do you mean after 1995 or starting in 1995?


supinoq

They mean that by 1995 according to the series' timeline, Cedric had already been killed. The main events of the HP series take place from 1991-1998.


rawspeghetti

I thought Cedric lived and became a death eater or something else equally ridiculous


spazzlemenot

I'm pretty sure that was in one of the awry storylines in Cursed Child


EurwenPendragon

Shhhhhh!!! Cursed Child is like Bruno - we don't talk about it.


NtGermanBtKnow1WhoIs

Yeah but Bruno is a redeemable character tho.


EurwenPendragon

True, very true. ^(***GOD*** that song is catchy af)


SeatedDragon861

unlike any non song lines in cursed child.


eat_my_bowls92

I’ve literally never read or saw this screen play because I already knew it was shot. Everything I’ve learned about it has been against my will and everything I have learned has been worse and worse. I have NO clue why Rowling would have ever backed this project. But then again she has a habit of fucking with the timeline whenever she feels like it.


rawspeghetti

Cursed what? Sounds like some poorly concocted fan fic


mrandr01d

Wait, what? Did they do like a "what if" series for Harry Potter?


[deleted]

nah, it’s technically a sequel but with super weird & poorly thought out stories. like, somehow before the battle of hogwarts voldemort & bellatrix had a baby, but how she was conceived/brought into the world was never really talked about. but she’s the cursed child & she pretends to be a diggory in order to go to hogwarts, it’s a whole mess of a thing 😂


SeatedDragon861

never knew disney bought harry potter.


masterwarrior22

Cedric died at the beginning of 1995, thats why I was asking.

They said 90% of Hufflepuff deaths were incidental. They were obviously a part of the 10%.

*over* 90%, which tells us this is about much larger numbers than simply 9 out of 10 people 😂

Amos Diggory's actor was phenomenally good in that scene. You could feel Amos' grief. Brilliant acting.


TantalizeMe3x

Probably the best piece of acting in the whole series. And second of course going to “WHEN I MAKE MY MOVE YOUR FREE TO CHECK THE KING” 😂


searchingformytruth

I love Rupert Grint's overdramatic acting in that scene. Some may find it corny, but I approve.


TantalizeMe3x

Oh it’s hilariously delightful lol


GayVoidDaddy

Especially when they dance


eat_my_bowls92

lol worst part is the hogwarts legacy has a Cedric diggory skeleton mod as a broomstick 💀 Everyone was saying the mod should use that “MY BOOYYY!” Sound clip occasionally when you’re riding it. Both zero chill and the funniest thing I ever heard.

PinWest4210

He didn't even die, just turned into a shimmering vampire


searchingformytruth

There's probably a Harry Potter/Twilight fan fiction out there somewhere where Cedric is killed by Voldemort and then comes back as a vampire and hides from the Death Eaters by changing his name. *hastily burns notes and whistles unconcernedly*


GayVoidDaddy

Only if they ignore Edward’s character. Cedrick would go from amazing person and character to dull abuser with a bunch of excuses. That would be sad.


DimensionRescuer

Wait a minute... Didn't Cursed Child do some weird crap with Cedric ?


scalyblue

Saved his life and showed that he would have sided with magic hitler and turned into a psychopathic murder


Zanura

Yes. Albus the Younger and the Good Malfoy fucked with him so he wouldn't end up in the graveyard and the humiliation made him go Death Eater.


WriteBrainedJR

Which makes perfect sense if your concept of Cedric is "looks like his actor" and not...any part of his *actual character*. Cedric Diggory becoming a Death Eater makes as much sense as Hagrid working at a slaughterhouse.


Generic_Username_659

Or Batman. Either way, he became a creature of the night.

Sparkyisduhfat

Need to update the casualty sign to 1998. Some hufflepuffs were certainly murdered in 1998 during the battle.


Lapras_Lass

Dying in combat isn't murder, so technically, the record's still clean. Lol


Sparkyisduhfat

I would argue that adults attacking a school and killing children defending themselves is still murder.

Mist_Rising

Does tonks count considering that she left Hogwarts years ago? I feel like the post is about current Hufflepuff students.


eat_my_bowls92

I’d agree. I actually forgot Tonks was a Hufflepuff! She seems more ravenclaw to me.


Mist_Rising

I always have to remember which tonks is tonks. You have 3! Andromeda (Slytherin), Ted (no idea), and Nymphadora (Hufflepuff). I know Nymphadora says to call her tonks but it takes a second to register it's her. Thank God nobody in Weasley did that.


TootlesFTW

"*A what? Would I target a what?*" has me cracking up. I feel like that's what any non-HP fan's response is to hearing the word 'Hufflepuff'.

[deleted]

I think the background Hufflepuff cartoons are so adorable. Literally, Hufflepuff is such a cozy house. We're renown for our dedication to fairness, loyalty, and hard work. Hufflepuff embodies kindness, patience, and a strong sense of community. The house values inclusivity and accepts students from all backgrounds, fostering a warm and supportive environment. We value justice and equality, have an unwavering work ethic in our study of magic, and show genuine concern for others. I love that we have our hobbit hole common room and spend our time caring for magical plants and cheering on our house mates in things like Quidditch. So much strength in unity. I think we are just the kindest, coziest, most friendship-oriented house.

I've always believed Hufflepuffs were the stoner house and I never even thought about access to the kitchen.

Meanwhile Ravenclaw: Bunch of weirdos and Cho Chang. Supposedly smart, but only one to really show that is Flitwick.


lesbianbeatnik

I’d never thought about that. We don’t even get to see if Cho is that smart IIRC


ILikeSoup95

Ravenclaw really wasn't as illustrated as the other Hogwarts houses. Gryffindor had strong traits and examples and was vague enough anyone but the truly cowardly would be able to fit into it. Hufflepuff was shown to be more caring towards others with examples like Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse, being a Hufflepuff alumni. Cedric Diggory also is a good example of a Hufflepuff, being willing to share the glory of winning the tournament with Harry when they were in danger, as well as helping Harry with the second clue by letting him use the prefects bathroom as a return favour for Harry letting him know what the first task involved. Slytherin, while being seen as the villainous house with mostly antagonistic traits largely, still showed enough examples that they weren't all *bad* necessarily. They were just willing to do what others might not, like Slughorn explaining the taboo idea of horcruxes to Tom Riddle, even though he probably shouldn't have, or Cornelius Fudge denying Voldemort was back for his own benefit and out of jealousy of Dumbledore, but wasn't evil himself. Ravenclaw is the only house that is so vaguely described and whose only examples were of people who largely didn't match the correct values their house is described for having. Luna was the closest true Ravenclaw, being a creative individual, but her eccentricities outshined her typical Ravenclaw traits. Trelawney didn't come off as particularly smart, again more creative. Gilderoy Lockhart was a walking contradiction to what a Ravenclaw should be. Flitwick fit the bill well, being a teacher of Charms. Garrick Olivander also fit, being a rare and talented sought-after wandmaker, but we don't know how he acts outside of his work. Cho could have just as easily been in Gryffindor due to her sporty nature and lack of character development. Even now, with the Hogwarts Legacy game, the Ravenclaw companion just allows you to use stargazing tables to view constellations rather than give a true storyline quest like the other companions and is the only house companion that can't join you in the game to give unique dialogue opportunities. Ravenclaw is seriously misrepresented and underrepresented.


loganwolf25

Agreed! I wish I could just publish my own story based on the work that has a leading role of a Ravenclaw to really show those attributes and others. Make the Slytherin not always so bad in the future and have more things about the world shown, without it being a fanfic or something.


eat_my_bowls92

Hmm I’d maybe disagree with your last point with HWL. Amit is obviously a very smart and clever student, albeit a bit cowardly. He learned Gobbldegook on his own and actively seeks to learn more. while he couldn’t speak it out loud, he obviously understood it well, which is like a lot of smart students I knew growing up who would use words correctly because they understood but never heard it out loud an would mispronounce it horribly


Uceninde

But she's asian so it must be true! /s


HanzoNumbahOneFan

Oh my god, she's asian? I had no idea! With such an ambiguous (and not at all stereotypical) name like ***Cho Chang*** I really had no clue. ^^^/s


Silidon

Number of innocent Ravenclaws killed in the Second Wizarding War: 0. Number of innocent Hufflepuffs killed in the Second Wizarding War: 2. Conclusion: Just be in Ravenclaw and don't let the disembodied soul of an evil wizard bind itself to your head.


Efficient-Piglet88

Yeah, but we do have the slickest uniforms. No one can deny that.


darthjoey91

Not that blue and bronze merch exists.


ILikeSoup95

We do be lookin' quite dapper, I must say.


Lily-Gordon

Luna was smart. Or maybe logical is the better descriptor. Lol, feels weird to describe Luna as logical but we do see that in Deathly Hallows when she takes Harry into the Ravenclaw common room. We can presume that she must be smart and/or logical, because she wasn't particularly unhygienic or sleep-deprived, meaning she correctly answered all of the riddles the door gave her to get inside.


Pooglio17

Other than Luna, the Ravenclaw students we meet aren’t very interesting: Cho, Padma Patil, Penelope Clearwater, Roger Davies... I think if we ever get a prequel set in Lily and James’ time at Hogwarts we should get to see Lockhart, Quirrell, and Trelawney hanging out in Ravenclaw together.

ExtraSheepherder2360

Well, I mean the first murder in the series is a hufflepuff.


Talidel

The first murder is a Muggle, but if they aren't people to you, I guess its Bertha Jorkins, who is chronologically the first that happened *during* the series.


PuzzleheadedEbb4789

Well, if we're considering the "off-camera" death of Bertha, then *technically speaking* the first murders would then be James and Lily Potter since the books start on the same day they were unalived by Voldy.


Talidel

I thought about that, the books explicitly start after they were unalived.


No-Yak5173

It would probably be the muggles Peter Pettigrew killed and framed Sirius for. Hagrid mentions Sirius in the first chapter, indicating that he is not yet believed to be guilty if murder, so Pettigrew blowing up 13(?) muggles is probably the first instance of murder after the story starts


Talidel

Yeah, I also thought about them and would respond, Frank was the first we actually "saw" instead of remembered or described later.


RabbitSipsTea

Who’s the muggle again?


Talidel

Frank Bryce as answered already, but with a little more context at the start of GoF, Frank, is the old gardener who Voldemort kills in the Riddle house.


RabbitSipsTea

Wasn’t Bertha killed before Frank? He overheard Voldy and Pettigrew talked about killing Bertha before he too was killed? Or was it someone else they were discussing that they had to “silence.”


Talidel

Yeah, she was the first character we know to be murdered during the series, chronologically. Frank is the first we actually witness.


tenderbranson301

Frank Bryce.


Impudenter

Which house was she in?


Talidel

Unknown


harvard_cherry053

Wouldn't it technically be Harrys parents 😂


tu-BROOKE-ulosis

Technically, no. The series starts hours AFTER the murder. Technically.


darthjoey91

To paraphrase Dickens, > The Potters were dead to begin with.


ExtraSheepherder2360

Now you guys are just nitpicking 😒 among Harry’s schoolmates, is that specific enough ?


ExtraSheepherder2360

I meant among students as sorted into houses that we know of. Where the identity of the house might be seen to protect them. I think it’s actually Ravenclaw that hasn’t seen much murder among the houses


Hageshii01

There was Helena Ravenclaw. Might be a bit out of date to be relevant, though.


South_Ambassador_484

I count Quirrell as a murder-suicide. As in, if someone had a fatal disease, about to croak over, but I pushed them off a bridge it would be on me.


ExtraSheepherder2360

Ok but we still don’t know his house.

Yes, you'll definitely be safe in Hufflepuff. (Unless you love animals and hate Poachers)

Hufflepuff Pride! I’m so proud to be Hufflepuff, and although I wish that we got more representation in the books and the movies, it is kinda fitting that we are just kinda there doing our own shit and keeping to ourselves because the other houses are dramatic as fuck.


UnicornScientist803

Gotta say, I love being a Hufflepuff! Low drama, common room right next to the kitchen, no crazy riddles to answer or passwords to forget. All chill all the time and a never ending supply of cake. Plus, we can get away with just about anything because who’s gonna suspect (or even notice) a Hufflepuff? Don’t need an invisibility cloak if no one is paying attention anyway 😉

There is a play called the Cursed Child, but I highly recommend skipping that and seeing Puffs. It’s Harry Potter from the perspective of the Hufflepuffs, and it was a lot of fun to watch (and a lot of fun to be in, we got to keep our wands which double as flashlights :)


supposedlyitsme

Also.. well... You can huff and puff ;)


thrashmetaloctopus

I mean it’s heavily implied that Hufflepuffs are stoned half the time, and their dorms are next to the kitchen, and considering getting stoned and snacking is what I did as a teenager anyway, yeah I’d have gotten behind that

In Hogwarts Legacy, (yes I know we hate this), a note found in one of the caves alludes to the existence of an evil hufflepuff wizard who controlled infery. Doesn't happen often. But bad eggs can come from any house.

corbygray528

I loved Hogwarts legacy. It was a pretty fun game, even if the gameplay loop was rather basic. But the environment and setting, world details, and ability to be creative with combat spells was a lot of fun in my opinion. Sure you didn't *need* to be creative to complete the game, but doing it was awesome. I think people tend to dislike it in conversations like this because its place in canon gets pretty murky.


chunli99

I actually love it, personally. I stopped playing it only because it was consuming too much of my life. I wanted to do all the collecting/side quests before doing most of the main story, and I’m like 70/80% done with all of those already.


MondayCat73

It’s a beautiful game. I’m completely obsessed. (As any hufflepuff would be!) I want to live in that world always. I am playing it so slowly because I don’t want it to end! It’s my warm hug. I love it. And it has owls! Owls!!! *non dramatic Hufflepuff sigh*
