## History

### 1991–1992 school year

 File:Hwarmingup.png
Hufflepuff was defeated by Gryffindor. Severus Snape refereed the match, and despite Snape's obvious biased refereeing, Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch within five minutes and won the game for Gryffindor. It was overall a very short match.
The Hufflepuff team was not a participant in the final match for the Inter-House Quidditch Cup.

#### Results

* Gryffindor defeated Hufflepuff in an early in the season match
* Hufflepuff did not win the Inter-House Quidditch Cup

### 1992–1993 school year

Hufflepuff only got to play Ravenclaw. The Quidditch Cup was cancelled due to attacks on Muggle-born students.

## Uniform and equipment

The Hufflepuff Quidditch team's uniforms were canary yellow and black, the same as their house colours. Similar to the uniforms of the three other houses, the Hufflepuff's Quidditch uniform consisted of a long robe, tight fitting jumper, leather gauntlets and shin-guards, and light boots.
A small embroidered Hufflepuff crest was stitched onto the uniform over the heart, and the name and number of the player were on the back of the robe in black lettering.

### Safety features

Goggles were often used in stormy playing conditions. In addition to the established uniform, the Keeper wore padded leather chest armour and an optional padded leather helmet. Beaters also carried small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off and redirect Bludgers during matches.

## Record in the Quidditch Cup

* 1953–1954 - 3rd or 4th
* 1991–1992 - 2nd, 3rd or 4th
* 1992–1993 - *Incomplete: attacks on Muggle-born students*

## Behind the scenes

* In the books Hufflepuff wear robes of canary yellow. In *Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban* (film), they wear predominantly yellow with some black also.
* In an interview, it was revealed that Michael McManus played Beater for the team in the 1993–1994 school year against Gryffindor. Maxine and Anthony were on the team in the school year 1993-1994, so Michael may have been a reserve.
* Depending on the player's choices in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the following students may have been members of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team in the 1980s:
	+ Jacob's sibling (Chaser, Beater, Keeper, Captain, Seeker)
