As all students at Hogwarts are human, the 'race' selection in DnDBeyond is repurposed in our campaign to add selected Hufflepuff features to character sheets.
All players in this campaign will select a Hufflepuff 'Race' in D&D Beyond.

Hufflepuff Features
Hufflepuffs value hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play, represented by the sturdy badger. Although often disparaged by others for their lack of competitiveness, the house has produced great wizards – not least Newt Scamander, notable magizoologist and author. Hufflepuff's house colors are yellow and black.
Compassion and Empathy
Hufflepuffs value people and community. They base their decisions on who is in need and who they can help. They value fairness because everyone is a person. Even directly wronged, Hufflepuffs will often give a second (or fifth) chance. But Hufflepuffs aren't inherently tolerant, like Gryffindors aren't inherently moral. They believe that all people deserve some type of kindness or decency, but they can redefine "person" to exclude anyone who doesn't meet their standards.
Hard Workers
Hufflepuffs toil. Their strength comes from consistency and the integrity of their method. They have a certain steadiness, naturally becoming the lynchpin of a community. While stereotyped as being social, a Hufflepuff might also be an introverted misanthrope who runs on hard work alone.
Hufflepuff Traits
You can rely on them to have certain attributes in common.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score, Wisdom score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.
Steadfast Loyalty. You have advantage on saving throws against any effect that would make you attack or work against a creature you would normally consider an ally.
Kitchen Trips. Your experience with the Hogwarts house elves has taught you how to politely address and interact with magical beings. Oh, and you can get tons of snacks.
Feat. You gain one feat of your choice from the available Feats list. The Innate/unique feats can only be selected at this point of character creation and will likely not be possible to obtain at any other time in the campaign.
I suggest that each player spends their 'free' Hufflepuff feat on one of the innate or unique feats from the list of all available feats.
The Ministry of Magic (Department for Magical Education) keeps a keen eye out for uniquely talented youngsters. Scholarships, special educational provision and additional curriculum content have historically been provided to these rarest of individuals.
