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.

yay helga! and... 81 days til the best day of my life! first?
exciting! second?
yay helga!!
cool... but where's the journal entry Micah asked for? top 3?
I've heard of her somewhere...top 10?
Odd... I can see a lot of theories spurring from this information. She's holding a goblet...
Yay Helga! top 10!!
This is the first founder wizard of the month. Does this mean something?
Helga is a rather dreadful first name--but...YAY! Interesting that JKR decided to use a witch we all know.
Hmmm very interesting JK....is this a hint in the right direction??
I wonder if Helga would approve of using house elves for cooking....
Woot! Maybe Godric will be soon! ;3 xD
congrats to helga! Micah and everyone else including me are waiting for that big juicy journal entry Jo!
Go Hufflepuff!!!! Haha, I'm such a dorky Hufflepuff xD
NIICE!!!! make me some dinner. Lol.
Christianaeg, did you look at the animation on her site? She's holding a cup. Horcrux, maybe?
cool but can any one tell me what book came from been driving me
At VeladareMadness: LMAO, Helga is the Swedish/dutch version of MY name, olivia. XD hm...a cup...ISMELLAHORCRUX!
awesome! thats really cool. maybe the other founders will be next. I wonder what objects Rowena will have on her.
ooooh now we know which house to thank for all that delicious food.. don't hate on hufflepuff!
Hm...I bet this could be significant.
wonder who will get the honors in the big month: JUNE
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?
Yay!! That is cool!
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!
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".
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!)
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!!
Sweet! She finally decided to use the one, the only, the sadly misunderstood HELGA HUFFLEPUFF!!! YAY
So, what if this cup Horcrux was used, 1000+ years ago, merely to make cookies?
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,
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.
this wasnt as funny as others were
What if this cup was the original vessel in which she invented peppermint humbugs?
hmm very interesting. and is the door not going to be opening ever again? :(
am i the only one who finds this cool? i mean finally a WOM that we actually KNOW and shes holding a horcrux :)
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)...
*Sirius
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 :)
Hm. An unusual choice. Usually it's someone we've never heard of before...
oooooooooo yum i wanna eat some of her food for din din.
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.
The cup she holds looks a bit like the cup on the U.K. Children D.H. cover...
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
that's pretty cool that she picked Hufflepuff for the wizard of the month.
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
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....
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?
Alas, nothing about the cup! I didn't think so though. =\
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!
