Whip

"I've got the form, Headmistress. I've got the form and I've got the whips waiting… oh, let me do it now…"

- Argus Filch

A whip is an object used to drive and control horses, typically ones driving a carriage, cart, or chariot.

Argus Filch was known to possess two or more whips, although they hadn't been used for some time. During the 1995–1996 school year, after the Approval for Whipping was passed by Headmistress Dolores Umbridge, Filch expressed joy at the prospect of using such whips to punish Fred and George Weasley. This instigated their departure from Hogwarts.
