“[Harry] gasped. So did the people around him. About twenty ghosts had just streamed through the back wall. Pearly-white and slightly transparent, they glided across the room talking to one another and hardly glancing at the first years. They seemed to be arguing. What looked like a fat little monk was saying: ‘Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second chance—‘ . . .

“‘New students!’ said the Fat Friar, smiling around at them. ‘About to be sorted, I suppose?’

“A few people nodded mutely.

“‘Hope to see you in Hufflepuff!’ said the Friar. ‘My old house, you know.'”

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

The Fat Friar is the ghost of Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is a cheerful, jolly ghost, always welcoming to new students. He is also willing to forgive others’ offenses and give them a second chance. He even advocates for the unruly and mischievous poltergeist Peeves. The Fat Friar is the third block in the Hogwarts House Ghosts C2C Crochet Afghan.

DESIGN NOTE: I’ve chosen to crochet each house ghost in the Hogwarts House Ghosts C2C Crochet Afghan on the primary color of each Hogwarts House. And I’ve chosen to arrange the blocks according to the arrangement of the Houses in the Hogwarts Coat of Arms. Gryffindor—top left. Slytherin—top right. Hufflepuff—bottom left. Ravenclaw—bottom right.
