The animal that represents Hufflepuff House is the badger.
The badger represents Hufflepuff house in the Harry Potter series.
Hufflepuff House is named after Helga Hufflepuff, one of the four Hogwarts founders. The other three were Salazar Slytherin, Godric Gryffindor, and Rowena Ravenclaw.
Gryffindor is represented by a lion. Hufflepuff is represented by a badger. Ravenclaw is represented by an eagle. Slytherin is represented by a snake.
I believe the mascot for Slytherin is a snake. Just like for Gryfindor it is a lion, Ravenclaw's is an eagle and Hufflepuff's is a badger.
