Hufflepuffs Are Actually Great, and Allow the Cast of the Play Puffs to Explain Why

io9.gizmodo.com: Everyone knows the four houses of Hogwarts: Braves, Snakes, Smarts, and Puffs. What? That’s not what you call them? The Harry Potter satire Puffs, or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic does and it’s funnier than anything you’d find in the Weasley’s joke shop. The off-Broadway comedy focuses on that underserved demographic of the world of wizards, and the cast and creators have some emotionally resonant things to say about it.

I really love the outlook of this show on Hogwarts and the Wizarding world. When I read the series and watched the movies I always tried to envision myself living and fighting in this magical world alongside the classic trio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I love the idea of this show being a satire on the original Harry Potter series while also capturing the lives of all the other student wizards who weren’t focused on in the series. We don’t learn much about people in the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses so I am curious to see what traits they carry and what stories and traditions they hold. I am also excited to hear that even though the show was originally supposed to run for a month it has already continued for over two and a half years, and plans to keep going even with a national tour so you do not have to go to New York to see this show.
