The House Cup is a yearly award at Hogwarts. It is given at the end of the school year to the House with the most points. Points are given to Houses by teachers and prefects throughout the year for various things including answering questions correctly and doing good deeds. Points can also be taken away for things like misbehaving.
Giant hourglasses in the entrance hall keep track of the House Points. The hourglasses are filled with different jewels for each house - Gryffindor's are rubies, Ravenclaw's sapphires, Slytherin's emeralds and Hufflepuff's is possibly amber.
