For the first time, we present a rare observation of direct magnetic interaction between an erupting filament and a coronal hole (CH). The small active region filament obliquely erupted toward the CH getting in the way, met and interacted with it, and then was deflected back. The erupting filament thus underwent a distinct to-and-fro motion in the visible disk, while the CH was clearly disturbed by the interaction. Brightenings in Hα and EUV and darkenings in He I 10830 Å appeared at the boundaries and in the interior of the CH. This eruption was closely associated with the initiation of a halo-type coronal mass ejection (CME). The direction of the CME, despite being greatly different from that of the initial filament eruption, was consistent with that of the reflected filament. Moreover, when the CME was seen in the limb, the filament was still in the process of the return journey in the visible disk. Therefore, it appears that the large-scale structure of the CME was bounced against and then reflected away from the CH along with the filament, and the eruptive filament represented only a very small part in the CME.
