    Um actually, the ghoul in the HP universe is usually considered a pest but like the garden gnomes the Weasleys kinda consider him more of a pet. When Harry first visits he is really excited about the chores that Ron has to do, like ridding the garden of gnomes and quieting the ghoul. While the chains seem mean, they seem to be a prized noisemaker for the ghoul and he gives Harry a chocolate frog card he found when Harry returns the chains to him. The ghoul also plays an important role in the last book, when the twins and Mr.Weasley partially transfigure the ghoul to look like Ron with a very contagious wizard disease (Spattergroit I think) so that the Weasleys have a cover for why Ron isn’t in school, or in their home!

    Um actually the Abyss isn't Hell. It's a sort of primordial nothingness that conforms to the nature of whatever Demon rules over that particular area of the Abyss. Also any area that has been exposed to the Abyss or powerful Abyssal creatures long enough will eventually become part of the Abyss forever. Hell is a very different place and there are in fact nine of them which are inhabited by Devils and in Avernus, the First Hell, there is an eternal war between Demons and Devils where the Abyss meets the Nine Hells called the Blood War. In fact, the Archdevil of Avernus, Zariel, used to be a celestial being who abandoned her home and fell from grace to lead the armies of Avernus against the never ending tide of Demons because she felt it was better to have the Hells exist than to let the Abyss consume everything.

    Um, actually, besides the 3 Elven Rings of Power, the Dwarven rings were also arguably not corrupted in the way that implies. There are no Dwarven Ringwraiths because Sauron found that he was unable to control the Dwarf-lords through the rings. The wielders did become hyper-focused on acquiring wealth, but it's debatable as to whether that was the corruption of the rings or a byproduct of the rings unnaturally prolonging their lives. By the time of Lord of the Rings all 7 had either been destroyed by Dragons or re-acquired by Sauron because they were effectively useless to him as a means of control.

    • @Samael1113

      No ring escaped the corrupting influence.
      Yes the Dwarves proved highly resistant, but the bearers did go mad eventually and were lead to ruin.
      The Elves had a sort of heads-up to what was happening just before The-One was activated, so they used the loophole where, if the ring isn't being worn and/or used, They remain basically hidden from The-One's and Sauron's influence. The Three only started seeing use again after Sauron lost The-One and was weakened for a literal age.
