appearances in sixth and seventh books

did peeves make an appearance in the sixth book?, and if so, will he make a appearance in the seventh book?

He made an appearance in both. --84.250.14.143 15:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

peeves in films

What I don't get is why WB cut peeves from the films, he is such a good charactorUptonogood 12:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peeves was cut because of timing, in films every second costs money (For example, you hardly ever hear someone say "Goodbye" on the telephone in a film because of this). films normally have too edit much material that is not vital enough to the plot because if they didn't the film would cost millions more and you could be in the cinema for over 6 hours-GeorgeFormby1

when?

This was immediately followed by his finest hour; his destructive tendencies shifted into overdrive and he went on a rampage, with acts ranging from juggling burning torches over the heads of students, to dumping a bag of tarantulas into the Great Hall during breakfast, and even flooding the entire second floor of Hogwarts by pulling out all the taps in the bathrooms. It appears that Peeves was actually on friendly terms with the strict Professor McGonagall during this time, due to their common enemy; when the poltergeist was attempting to loosen a chandelier from the ceiling, the Head of Gryffindor House was seen to mutter to him in passing, "It unscrews the other way."

ok so im not sure about all this tell me when all this happened in the order of the phoenix book or was it mentioned in book 6 if it happened book 5 tell me which chapter

Categories: Fictional ghosts

If no one objects, I'm going to remove Peeves from Categories:Fictional ghosts. As he is a poltergeist and not a ghost, he doesn't belong there. Faithlessthewonderboy 23:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going through with this edit. Faithlessthewonderboy 09:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loyalty of Peeves

Since he fought alongside the Order et al against the Death Eaters in DH, I think "Hogwarts" should be listed in his infobox under loyalty. I'm not necessarily suggesting replacing "Chaos" just adding to it. Anyone agree or disagree?

Sure, be bold. Allegiance to Hogwarts, obviously! :) Peacent 05:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really public domain, as the tag says? 86.132.142.26 01:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Peeves&action=edit&section=6 Editing Talk:Peeves (section) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

No, it's copyrighted but JKR has irrevocably released all rights to it, so it's fine to use. For all intents and purposes it is in the public domain, though technically it is copyrighted.

Fictional Anarchist?

Being completely unfamiliar with the Harry Potter series, I have never heard of the character, Peeves, until the character was added to the "Fictional Anarchist" category. I have tried to find a source for this online, but have failed, so I ask that other editors assist me in determining such a source. Inclusion in the category requires an explicit source citation. Either the source material or the author must very specifically refer to Peeves as an "anarchist". This is due to the fact that there is some confusion in popular culture as to what an anarchist is, and thus we must exclude any characters which the public at large might simply label as "anarchic." Being an embodiment of chaos does not make one an anarchist. Either an explicit source citation must be provided to back this classification, or the character will be removed from the list.--Cast 22:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No explicit mention exists. I was slightly shocked when I saw this, but thought it plausible enough that I didn't bother removing it. Also, I felt that there's a fair chance an edit war would ensue, and I don't care enough to get involved in all that. But really, it doesn't belong. Faithlessthewonderboy 07:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "explicit citation" rule was created just to avoid edit wars for these kinds of situations. Toss aside editor POV, and all you're left with is a silly character who plays pranks. Not an anarchist. I'll remove him from the category. I suppose there will never be a citation now that the final book is out, so the character will never be accidentally placed in the category again.--Cast 08:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Book 7

He also sings after the war: "We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the One! And Voldy's gone mouldy, so now let's have fun!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.1.190.124 (talk) 20:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
