Eddie Redmayne Defends Hufflepuffs In New PSA

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, then you know that the Hufflepuff House has a rather interesting rep. The students at Hogwarts sorted into Hufflepuff are sometimes referred to as miscellaneous given their house's vague perimeters. Harry Potter lore describes the house as one filled with loyal, patient witches. And, now, Eddie Redmayne is sending out a PSA to all 'Huffle-Haters' in a new video.

"I'm Eddie Redmayne, and I'm a Hufflepuff," he started. "For far too long, Huffelpuffs have been victimized. They call us boring. They call us beige. So, we're the nice guys - but you know what? You know what I see in Hufflepuffs? I see loyalty. I see fierce friendship. So, we are hardworking - we are compassionate. At the end of the day, we're going to do the right thing and not because of the glory but for the greater good. Because f**k it...Sorry, it's naughty to swear.

"Be proud. Stand tall," Redmayne stressed before nodding to other famous Hufflepuffs. Robert Pattinson was sorted into the house when he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has also publicly admitted he was a Hufflepuff, and JK Rowling has famously stated her favorite house was founded by Helga Hufflepuff to boot.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter blockbusters. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
