A badger is a omnivorous mammal of the Mustelidae family, distinguishable by the white stripe that runs down its snout.
==Badgers in the wizarding world==
It is the mascot of Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Like the house it represents, the badger is often underestimated and deemed non-threatening because it is not generally aggressive unless provoked, at which point it can and will viciously fight off threats even larger than itself. This symbolism was perhaps showcased best in the Battle of Hogwarts, where many Hufflepuffs stayed to fight and defend their school, with only Gryffindor outnumbering them.Uric the Oddball once turned up for a presentation before the Wizards' Council wearing nothing but a toupee that turned out to be a dead badger, after listening to a Fwooper's song continuously for three months.There is a spell that can transfigure a cauldron into a badger. One could turn a human into a bager.It is a known corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.
