If I have to be massively wrong on my predictions and Harry really does resort to violence, there had darn well better be Hufflepuff-stabbing!

Pretty sure Amelia Bones was a Hufflepuff.

Harry has the legendary Lost Sword of Humerus Hufflepuff in his pouch.

Be prepared! As through life you march along! Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared - be prepared!

There's dozens of wizards there - surely at least one was a Hufflepuff.
