Many Slytherins and Hufflepuffs wore the badges prior to the First Task for their own reasons: the Slytherins had a long-standing animosity towards Gryffindor, but the Hufflepuffs thought that Harry had stolen their glory by rivalling Cedric, and wore the badges to intimidate him.
- Unicorn Hair Wand. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, we discover that Cedric’s wand has a unicorn hair core. Pottermore describes wands with unicorn hairs as faithful and “difficult to turn to the Dark Arts.”
- Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Cedric attempts to forfeit Hufflepuff’s Quidditch victory after discovering that the Dementors had caused Harry to fall from his broom.
- Triwizard Camaraderie. As the first Hogwarts Champion in Goblet of Fire, Cedric strives to bring honor to Hogwarts and Hufflepuff. I think he also views the competition as an opportunity for camaraderie.
- Against the “Potter Stinks” Badges. The King of Cups believes in fair play, and Cedric mirrors this belief in Goblet of Fire. In the book, Harry suspects that Cedric asked people to stop wearing the “Potter Stinks” badges.
