Best Answer

Argus Filch is the Hogwarts caretaker. He is a squib and therefore despises working around magical students at Hogwarts. He has a cat called Mrs Norris and is very easily annoyed. Filch has tried many times to get Peeves expelled and bring back the old punishments like hanging people upside down in the Dungeons for a day.

He is portrayed in the films by David Bradley.
