6. Peeves The Poltergeist

Peeves the Poltergeist is omitted from all of the Harry Potter movies. It’s a shame because as hateable as he can be at times, he’s also very amusing.

His sole aim in life is to cause as much mayhem as he possibly can. Even Fred and George Weasley can’t match his aptitude for causing chaos. Whether you’re a teacher or a student, there’s always a possibility you’ll be targeted by the poltergeist.

Indeed, he commits a series of wicked crimes throughout Harry’s time at Hogwarts. He throws water balloons, fires ink pellets, damages school property, sings rude tunes, and forces Neville to set fire to his pants.

Yes, he’s amusing, but he would drive you insane if you were actually a student at Hogwarts. He loves to bully students and he has no respect for those around him.
