19 Male Characters Who Are Obviously Hufflepuffs

“I’ll teach the lot and treat them just the same.”


Kevin Ryan — Castle


Kevin Ryan — Castle


Ryan is not just brave, but he's brave like a Hufflepuff. He knows the right thing to do and goes after it courageously because it's the right thing to do. He has never cared about the victory or the glory. Instead, Ryan just wants everyone to be the best they can be. It's this kind of selflessness and love that put him in Hufflepuff.


ABC


Winston Bishop — New Girl


Winston Bishop — New Girl


Out of all the roommates in the loft, Winston is the kindest one. He'll be your friend even when you screw up and embarrass yourself beyond belief. Also, he completely OWNS who he is, because as a Hufflepuff, it takes a lot to shake his confidence.


FOX


Damian — Mean Girls


Damian — Mean Girls


There's something very Hufflepuff about Damian. For the most part, he's an unfailing friend to Cady and Janis. He does his best to be there for them, and he'd never intentionally hurt anyone. He has the boldness of a Gryffindor combined with the sweetness of a Hufflepuff, but he's a Hufflepuff nonetheless.


Paramount Pictures


Clark Kent — Smallville


Clark Kent — Smallville


As a superhero, he's exceptionally brave like a Gryffindor — he's the first to volunteer in any crisis. But Clark doesn't save the world or the city because he wants the glory or the credit. That's why he has two identities. What Clark wants is the best for everyone, and if he can help out, well, that's great. This kind of all-encompassing love of the world makes him the Hufflepuff Head Boy.
