- — Description.[src]
Argus Filch kept a collection of chains and manacles hung on the walls of his office. Being a fan of corporal punishment, he kept them in the hopes that Albus Dumbledore would allow him to use the chains to hang rule-breaking students from the ceiling, either by their wrists[1] or their ankles.[2] However, Dumbledore always denied the use of this form of punishment, and Filch merely resigned himself to keeping the chains well-polished in hope they would be used one day. During the regime of Dolores Umbridge, Filch finally would have been able to use his chains once Educational Decree Number Twenty-Nine was passed; however, Umbridge was driven from the school before that could happen.[3]
