Fat Friar

The Fat Friar is the resident ghost of the Hufflepuff House. He is a jolly man and very forgiving. He first appears in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when the first years are waiting for Professor McGonagall to return and the ghosts pass overhead. The Fat Friar is very fair, as he is always pleading on behalf of Peeves the Poltergeist to allow him to come to the welcome feasts despite his past wrongdoings.
