A badger is a carnivorous mammal of the Mustelidae family, distinguishable by the white stripe that runs down its snout.^[1] It is the mascot of Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

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.

Behind the scenesEdit
