Feeling proud because you got sorted into Gryffindor or smug because you’re in Slytherin House or clever because you’re a Ravenclaw?

A public service announcement posted by MTV reminds people there are lots of nice things about being a Hufflepuff (besides being nice.)

“They call us boring. They call us beige. So we’re the nice guys,” actor Eddie Redmayne said. “And at the end of the day we’re going to do the right thing and not because of the glory, not because of the glory, but for the greater good because **** **! Sorry, it’s naughty to swear.”

Redmayne stops to compose himself before going on to list such famous Hufflepuffs as Cedric Diggory and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

“Also, Hufflepuff is J.K. Rowling’s favorite house so **** ***,” Redmayne finishes.

The PSA claims to be “Paid for by the Coalition for Better Treatment of Hufflepuffs.”

According to the Pottermore website, “Hufflepuffs value hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. The house has produced its share of great wizards — not least Newt Scamander, author of ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.'”

“Several outstanding brains have emerged from Hufflepuff house over the centuries; these fine minds simply happened to be allied to outstanding qualities of patience, a strong work ethic and constancy, all traditional hallmarks of Hufflepuff House,” Rowling said on Pottermore.
