I was swindled!

Cedric Diggory is a Hufflepuff?! I thought he was a Ravenclaw! I can deal with Ravenclaws; I know plenty of them, but Hufflepuffs? That's like, like, [waves hands around inexplicably], people c'mon. I don't know how to write a Hufflepuff that's not a whinger like Ernie or some lascivious creature like pandarus' Justin. Where's the snark? Where's the eye-rolling and the double entendres? Nuts.

ETA: I have seen the light. I can do this. Theoretically. It's like D-I-Y Cedric!

You can make them interesting, I'm sure of it. I mean, they like to achieve stuff through hard work, so they can probably be scarily focused. Plus, since they don't have a heck of a lot to live up to, they likely don't much care what other people think of them and so can easily maintain a kind of cool, blase indifference. Plus they're loyal, so once turned there's probably no going back. And who knows what they're like if their trust is betrayed. Maybe they go batshit insane.

Or maybe you actually have to be insane in the first place to get into Hufflepuff, but no one likes to mention that unsavory detail.
