New Wizard of the Month at JKRowling.com
A witch who we've all come to know is featured this month (it's May in the UK) at JK Rowling's official website:

Helga Hufflepuff

(Medieval, precise dates unknown)
One of the four celebrated Founders of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff was particularly famous for her dexterity at food-related Charms. Many recipes traditionally served at Hogwarts feasts originated with Hufflepuff.

cool... but where's the journal entry Micah asked for? top 3?


Posted by oofa Apr 30th 2007

I've heard of her somewhere...top 10?


Posted by Baba Apr 30th 2007

Odd... I can see a lot of theories spurring from this information. She's holding a goblet...


Posted by busheloflaughs Apr 30th 2007

Yay Helga! top 10!!


Posted by Lucas Apr 30th 2007

This is the first founder wizard of the month. Does this mean something?


Posted by VeladareMadness Apr 30th 2007

Helga is a rather dreadful first name--but...YAY! Interesting that JKR decided to use a witch we all know.


Posted by christianaeg Apr 30th 2007

Hmmm very interesting JK....is this a hint in the right direction??


Posted by muggle_born Apr 30th 2007

I wonder if Helga would approve of using house elves for cooking....


Posted by H_J_Potter Apr 30th 2007

Woot! Maybe Godric will be soon! ;3 xD


Posted by bizarrenterrifying Apr 30th 2007

congrats to helga! Micah and everyone else including me are waiting for that big juicy journal entry Jo!


Posted by VintageHPBeauty Apr 30th 2007

Go Hufflepuff!!!! Haha, I'm such a dorky Hufflepuff xD


Posted by i_loverz_HP Apr 30th 2007

NIICE!!!! make me some dinner. Lol.


Posted by Baba Apr 30th 2007

Christianaeg, did you look at the animation on her site? She's holding a cup. Horcrux, maybe?


Posted by potterfan4568 Apr 30th 2007

cool but can any one tell me what book came from been driving me


Posted by H_J_Potter Apr 30th 2007

At VeladareMadness: LMAO, Helga is the Swedish/dutch version of MY name, olivia. XD hm...a cup...ISMELLAHORCRUX!


Posted by dementor Apr 30th 2007

awesome! thats really cool. maybe the other founders will be next. I wonder what objects Rowena will have on her.


Posted by loonz Apr 30th 2007

ooooh now we know which house to thank for all that delicious food.. don't hate on hufflepuff!


Posted by xopinkribbon Apr 30th 2007

Hm...I bet this could be significant.


Posted by muggle_born Apr 30th 2007

wonder who will get the honors in the big month: JUNE


Posted by J_Dizzle Apr 30th 2007

Call me crazy but I have a theory (no its not bunnies) Helga is holding a cup yes , perhaps a horcrux, but on either hand she has a ring, green and red, slytherin and gryffindor, but red one does not sparkle like the green one. Could this mean something towards slytherin having the horcux or something like that?


Posted by Mugglecastfan7 Apr 30th 2007

Yay!! That is cool!


Posted by Trelawneys_Fan Apr 30th 2007

WOW!! It's cool to see someone as important as Helga Hufflepuff as the Wizard of the Month!! She usually puts unknownm characters. TOP 30!


Posted by Baba Apr 30th 2007

J_dizzle, that's a pretty good theory if you think of it. J.K, does have a style for clues a bit like that. I could easily picture her deciding to sneak some information into the Wizard of the Month".


Posted by Themistocles Apr 30th 2007

The thing is, that cup doesn't have a badger on it. Otherwise...I like the whole ring idea. p.s. Look at her brooch. (No clues, I just like it!)


Posted by Trelawneys_Fan Apr 30th 2007

Hey, and could this mean that we're going to see the other 3 founders of Hogwarts as Wizards of the Month on the next months? It would be appropriate, you know? Being the last book, and all, ending it with the Hogwarts Founders on her website!!


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 30th 2007

Sweet! She finally decided to use the one, the only, the sadly misunderstood HELGA HUFFLEPUFF!!! YAY


Posted by Themistocles Apr 30th 2007

So, what if this cup Horcrux was used, 1000+ years ago, merely to make cookies?


Posted by Awesome_Sauce Apr 30th 2007

That is cool. I like to cook too, maybe we should be friends.................. .. miles of smiles, :):):):):):):):) :):):):):):):):):):):):): ):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DD: D:D:D:D: oodles of noodles, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Loves,


Posted by melissanc09 Apr 30th 2007

here is my theory, there is another three months untill book seven comes out so the next 3 months will be the other three founders.


Posted by july21tillhp7 Apr 30th 2007

this wasnt as funny as others were


Posted by Themistocles Apr 30th 2007

What if this cup was the original vessel in which she invented peppermint humbugs?


Posted by Inferi596 Apr 30th 2007

hmm very interesting. and is the door not going to be opening ever again? :(


Posted by psIEnjoyAcidPops Apr 30th 2007

am i the only one who finds this cool? i mean finally a WOM that we actually KNOW and shes holding a horcrux :)


Posted by Baba Apr 30th 2007

Hey, if you look closer the sparkles kinda look like the Sirus consteallation (Note: I know nothing in astronomy, so I'm probaly off by a million)...


Posted by Baba Apr 30th 2007

*Sirius


Posted by Potter4Prez22 Apr 30th 2007

I'll bet all my HP books and my DH reserved copy that she put that out as a clue for the the 7th book. IT'S TOTALLY A HORCRUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! it offical if its on her site :)


Posted by IAteUmbridge Apr 30th 2007

Hm. An unusual choice. Usually it's someone we've never heard of before...


Posted by HPgeek4LIFE Apr 30th 2007

oooooooooo yum i wanna eat some of her food for din din.


Posted by mithril95 Apr 30th 2007

Totally unrelated, but...studying Greece in school and was wondering if Themistocles is your real name, if you were named (like at birth) after the Greek dude who convinced Athens to use a gold mine to make a navy, or if you chose the screenname because of that guy, or if you randomly chose the screenname. So...answer if you'd like (preferably) or someone else can guess. BTW...it's Helga's cup, and I think the green jewel's glowing cuz a descendent of Slytherin has the cup right now. Why else? Hufflepuffs are by nature NOT Slytherin-like.


Posted by Baba Apr 30th 2007

The cup she holds looks a bit like the cup on the U.K. Children D.H. cover...


Posted by mudbloodprincess Apr 30th 2007

oh wow!! i feel like this will b important somewhere along the line!! omg cant wait! with grad party, 5 cool movies and HP book!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! lyl lyl


Posted by hpintwense06 Apr 30th 2007

that's pretty cool that she picked Hufflepuff for the wizard of the month.


Posted by luv_hp_4ever Apr 30th 2007

NICE!!!! i like helga... i imagine her as a kind of plump motherly looking woman... and the whole baking cookies things goes perfectly with that! anyways... helga is cool!!!!! and hufflepuff is my third choice of houses i would like to be in... well maybe second... gryffindor first then ravenclaw, hufflepuff, and last slytherin... dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!! jk felt like saying that... anyways i think it would be a really Jo-ish thing to do... to have the horcrux with the wizard of the month... it might mean something about the whole.. green isnt sparkling or whatever but i doubt that... but i spplaud whoever noticed that small detail in the first place... anyway that is cool that i actually knoow her... unlike Toots... lol mugglecast humor... hehe


Posted by demonchild13 Apr 30th 2007

Yay an update! Micah will be happy I hope but I don't think this is what he was thinking of it terms of an update. And Sue's probably dancing and running down the street in her pajamas again =D. Yay for Hufflepuff! Squee! Sorry, I'm a Hufflepuff....


Posted by Themistocles Apr 30th 2007

I chose Themistocles because of the Athenian. My class spent almost half the year studying Ancient Greece, and he was just so cool. At least the way Herodotus portrayed him! But if there are only two wizard of the month-months left before July 21, which founder will be left out?


Posted by tomriddle936 Apr 30th 2007

Alas, nothing about the cup! I didn't think so though. =\


Posted by Iam_myown Apr 30th 2007

okay...well this is going to seem really random...but on this one website we get sorted into houses and such...called Hogwarts Extreme and well I'm in Hufflepuff so I think that it is really cool that my Founder of my house is the witch of the month!
