The FAT FRIAR

The Fat Friar is the jolly ghost of Hufflepuff House. We don't see much of him, but our first introduction shows a great deal of his character: forgiving, cheerful, and eternally optimistic. Which is odd, because J.K. Rowling has stated that those who become ghosts typically are not happy people. I wonder if the Friar is one of those people who mask their depression by being extremely, annoyingly happy and forcing that joy upon others. I know people like that..... Anyway! The poor Friar is stuck with the gloomy likes of Nearly-Headless Nick, the Bloody Baron and the Gray Lady, all of whom seem to oppose his viewpoints: notably giving Peeves a second chance at something.... possibly to attend the Sorting Ceremony? Anyway, as with all the Hogwarts ghosts, I hope we find out a bit more about the good Friar's background.

"What looked like a fat little monk was saying: 'Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second chance-' 'My dear Friar, haven't we given Peeves all the chances he deserves? He gives us all a bad name and you know, he's not really even a ghost...'" SS, pg 115-6
