Peeves is a poltergeist living in Hogwarts, a fictional setting in the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling. Peeves loves to cause mischief as his name implies. He does not listen to Hogwarts prefects (to Percy Weasley's great displeasure), teachers or anyone else, except for the Bloody Baron. For some unknown reason, the Bloody Baron is the only one who can control Peeves. Argus Filch works countinusly to try to get Peeves thrown out.
A scene with Peeves was filmed for the movie version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but was left on the cutting room floor. He has otherwise not appeared in any of the movie adaptations so far.
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
Dolores Umbridge's attempts to take control of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix were met with insurrection, mainly from Fred and George Weasley. After the twins escaped from Umbridge's iron hand, one of them said, "Give her hell from us, Peeves." This may be the only time which Peeves ever obeyed a student. (However, it is worthy to note that Fred and George are not unlike Peeves himself, constantly causing mischief.)
