Ghouls are ugly creatures that resembles a slimy, buck-toothed ogre. They tend to live in the attics or barns of wizards and witches. They are relatively harmless creatures and are just seen as nuisances because of the noise they make. They are relatively dimwitted, and live off of bugs and other household pests. At most, they will groan and throw objects.
A Ghoul Task Force exists at the Ministry of Magic, under the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. The Task Force is used to remove unwanted ghouls from houses that have passed in Muggle ownership. There is a variety of ghoul, called the Chameleon Ghoul.
The attic in Weasley family's home, The Burrow, is also home to a ghoul who occasionally bangs on the pipes, when it feels the house is too quiet.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game), Draco Malfoy released a ghoul to attack Neville Longbottom in the Muggle Studies Classroom.
