Helga Hufflepuff
Professor Helga Hufflepuff was a witch of
medieval times and was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. While the other founders chose to have special
students, Hufflepuff accepted them all, but the students of her house are
described as loyal and hard-working. It is unknown when she died. Helga's
portrait remains at Hogwarts.
