The House of Hufflepuff is often underestimated, but some of the most famous wizards and witches come from this house. In our ranking we are looking for the 7 strongest Hufflepuffs of all time.
What does Hufflepuff stand for? Hufflepuff is characterized by values such as loyalty, hard work, fairness, honesty, patience and a strong team spirit.
Hufflepuff witches and wizards are known for often staying in the background, yet being some of the most sincere and reliable. Their success is not based solely on magical abilities, but on their loyalty and tireless commitment to the well-being of those around them. Hufflepuff is the house where true friendship plays a central role – the foundation of many great witches and wizards, as we’ll soon see.

The Sorting Hat describes Hufflepuff in his song like this:
In Hufflepuff, however
one is just and faithful.
You help others wherever you can
and is not afraid of work.

7th place: Cedric Diggory
Cedric Diggory is one of the strongest and most talented students Hufflepuff has ever produced. He was also known as Hufflepuff’s Seeker and Quidditch Captain, where he demonstrated his talent for flying. He was also an excellent student of magic and transfiguration and was valued by teachers and classmates alike.
As Hogwarts champion in the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric showed incredible courage and fairness. Even when Harry Potter was unexpectedly chosen as the second champion, Cedric remained calm and supported Harry, even though many students were against him. This loyalty and willingness to help make him a real role model.
Tragically, Cedric was murdered by Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew) during the tournament. Had Cedric not died so early, he would undoubtedly have had the potential to become one of the strongest wizards of his generation.
6th place: Pomona Sprout
Professor Pomona Sprout is Hogwarts’ esteemed Herbology teacher and heads Hufflepuff House. She has a great passion for magical plants and brings a lot of knowledge in this field. Pomona is a warm, down-to-earth woman who lovingly cares for her students and their plants. This makes her a popular professor.
The Devil’s Snare that guarded the Philosopher’s Stone is believed to have been created by her. She also helped heal the basilisk’s petrified victims using mandrakes. During the Battle of Hogwarts, she used her plants to defend the castle.
5th place: Nymphadora Tonks
Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be called just Tonks, is an Auror and a Metamorphmagus, allowing her to change her appearance at will. She is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix and is highly respected by her friends and colleagues.
Training to become an Auror under Mad-Eye Moody helped her sharpen her skills. Tonks’ awkwardness and warm personality make her a popular character.
She threw herself into the most dangerous situations, even when she was afraid or felt unsafe. Despite the danger and the knowledge that she had a child at home, she chose to take part in the Battle of Hogwarts and fight for what was important to her. She died in battle alongside her husband Remus Lupine. She is one of the strongest witches in the Harry Potter world.
