Badger

Badgers value hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play, represented by the sturdy badger. Although often disparaged by others for their lack of competitiveness, the house has produced great wizards – not least Newt Scamander, notable magizoologist and author. Badger’s house colors are yellow and black.

Compassion and EmpathyBadgers value people and community. They base their decisions on who is in need and who they can help. They value fairness because everyone is a person. Even directly wronged, Badgers will often give a second (or fifth) chance.

But Badgers aren’t inherently tolerant, like Lions aren’t inherently moral. They believe that all people deserve some type of kindness or decency, but they can redefine “person” to exclude anyone who doesn’t meet their standards.

Hard WorkersBadgers toil. Their strength comes from consistency and the integrity of their method. They have a certain steadiness, naturally becoming the lynchpin of a community. While stereotyped as being social, a Badger might also be an introverted misanthrope who runs on hard work alone.
