| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, graphic depiction of the Hufflepuff house crest from the Harry Potter franchise, dominated by a large shield in black and yellow bearing a detailed monochrome badger — the house animal — surrounded by stylised foliage rendered in yellow. A large yellow letter 'H' appears to the left of the shield, with a smaller 'H' below the crest. The word 'HUFFLEPUFF' is inscribed in bold capital letters beneath the shield on a contrasting band. Surrounding the central crest are decorative graphic elements including depictions of the Hufflepuff house cup trophy and additional motifs in a contemporary mixed-media artistic style combining engraving and halftone dot patterns. The trademark and copyright notice 'TM & © WARNER BROS. (S19)' appears at the lower left, with the serial number '20000000' at the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Niue has issued licensed pop-culture silver since the early 2010s, functioning less as circulating currency than as a sovereign mint vehicle for the collectibles market. The Harry Potter series, of which this Hufflepuff piece is a part, was produced under license from Warner Bros. and timed to sustained franchise demand rather than any particular anniversary.
The rectangular planchet is the telling detail — that 36 x 26 mm format requires individual handling through the press, which keeps mintages deliberately low and per-unit costs high.
