Enjoy!Summary: In the last episode I told you why I think Jacob is a squib. But a very important question wasn't answered. A squib is a person with magical family but no magical powers. So who is Jacob's magical family? We already know he's a squib, but we don't know who made him that way. Today, I tell you why that person is Helga Hufflepuff. Yes, the creator of Hogwarts, maker of fine sweets. That's the first point. Jacob said the making of pastries has been in his family for years. Family? For years? That tradition may have been started by Helga herself. Another connection between Jacob and Helga is that word 'Hufflepuff.' Huff reminds me of the Three Little Pigs. The one doing the huffing is the big bad wolf. Wolves are one of two common animals around the area where Helga lived. The other common animal is a badger. That's odd. A badger is the animal of Hufflepuff. That means the things close to the place Helga lived are important to her. How does Jacob fit into all of this? Well, an unknown fact about Jacob is he lived in Poland before New York. That's a lot closer to Wales where Helga lived. Kawolski means, 'Son of Smith'. The only other known family of Helga Hufflepuff is Hepzibah. Hepzibah Smith.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussion Website: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
