Simon is the father of Henry and Peter. Like Mum, he has never trusted Henry to be well behaved. He also likes the gym and taking very high doses of pre workout and monster energy, making Henry and Peter very healthy packed lunches and ordering a massive chippy every single day. Peter often shows off to Dad by being well behaved while Henry misbehaves. Specifically, he punishes Henry by banning the TV and/or the computer, but mostly resorts to cancellation or reduction of pocket money, for example when Henry refuses not to come on a hike he starts deducting pocket money. He shows favouritism when it comes to Henry and Peter. He tends to believe the best of Peter and the worst of Henry as even if Henry was telling the truth, he will still dismiss it as "rubbish". When Peter misbehaves, he will find excuses for him; a good example was that Peter sprayed Henry with a hose deliberately, even chasing him around the garden, at work, He is responsible for the shipping of toothbrushes and toothpaste, but he ended up telling Henry that he should have got out of the way when Peter was "watering the flowers". Although strict, he is much more tolerant and patient with Henry than Mum is by giving him second chances. Also, he is often shown to be capable of distracting Henry enough that he behaves. He has curly brown hair and wears an orange sweater and a blue jacket. It is revealed that Gross Class Zero was his favourite show when he was a boy. At the end of Horrid Henry and the Silly Siblings it is revealed that his nickname is "Silly Simon".

Greasy Greta is the lady from the counter in the school cafeteria who was in charge of the packed lunch room. She first appears in Horrid Henry and the Demon Dinner Lady. She was sent to look after the kids in the lunch room because they were always playing with their food. She always took the children's treats and ate them, but she ran away after she ate hot chili biscuits Henry brought in.

Great Aunt Greta[edit]

Voiced by Tamsin Heatley, Great Aunt Greta is the great aunt of Horrid Henry.

Although Henry's Mum and Dad have told her countless times that Henry is a boy and that Peter is six, Greta refuses to believe this, and usually doesn't hear, most likely due to her having some form of dementia. Her dementia is such that she once cooked cat food for the boys and believed that Fluffy is a dog named Fido. She also mistook it to be the middle of the night when in fact it was only half past five in the afternoon. She wears a light pink shirt with a white collar, a dark pink skirt, lavender shoes and a walking stick.

Henry is the main character of the series and is portrayed as a very determined and relentless young boy, similar to Dennis from Dennis the Menace and Gnasher. He staunchly believes that life is unfair due to his age, so he fights against "the tyranny of adults", mostly anything children hate in a stereotypical view, from vegetables to school. Indeed, Henry's teachers, relatives, and babysitters in the series try their best to avoid him as they admittedly dislike his frequent antics. Even his parents argue over whose turn it is to look after him. He is 8 years old.

Henry is often rude, selfish, impatient, hot-tempered, impulsive, arrogant, petty, opinionated, and hardly ever learns from his mistakes, refusing to acknowledge them. Aside from his rudeness, he is also maliciously blunt, as seen when he calls his mother's boss what she calls her at work behind her back and is unafraid of telling people how much he hates them right to their faces. However, he is willing to act nice and collude with Margaret and even Peter, but only if it means he will get to have his own way. Most likely because of his young age, however, Henry can get frightened by talk of ghosts or monsters, and in one episode, is revealed to have a fear of needles. He is also very imaginative, as he indulges in fantasies, usually transforming into terrifying creatures and attacking the source of his anger, and often has "Eureka moments" when the stories mention what he thinks is a "spectacularly wonderful idea". In every story, there is something Henry has to get or do (or occasionally avoid doing) and the ensuing chaos is the consequence of this overriding desire. Although in series 4, he is slightly less horrid, or more behaved.

Whenever Henry thinks of a plan it is simply to get his own way, never to make trouble purely for its own sake. He is more often than not seen taking life very seriously and he sincerely believes in what he is doing, making him something of a complex character as well. It has also been further hinted that deep down, Henry never really means to be horrid, and only acts that way as a wanting to get attention and a need to feel good about himself, particularly when dealing with his younger brother Peter, implying he has low self-esteem.

Miss Boudicca Battle-Axe is a Scottish strict, sadistic schoolteacher and the main antagonist. She teaches Horrid Henry, and many of his classmates such as Rude Ralph, Moody Margaret and Sour Susan. She seems to have a particular disliking towards Henry, which would be because it is usually his horrid behaviour which disrupts her class. She once said that Henry's class was the worst she ever taught. In very few episodes, her mother, Mrs Battle-Axe, has appeared, who appears to discipline her daughter greatly. She wears pointy glasses and has gray hair. She also wears a green cardigan, pale chartreuse top, brown skirt, and brownish stockings. In Horrid Henry Delivers a Message, it is shown that Miss Battle-Axe secretly has a crush on Soggy Sid. Miss Battle-Axe is voiced by Aidan Cook ( wayne forester in an interview with BFI ) and portrayed by Anjelica Huston.

Despite hating Henry's class it is apparent that Miss Battle-Axe is tough enough to survive teaching it, as it has been mentioned that all of Henry's teachers prior to her had quit because of him.

In the season 4 episode Horrid Henry's Movie Moments it is revealed she has an identical twin sister who is also called Miss Battle-Axe but is Headmistress of Our Lady Giddiantus and talks with a posh voice. However in the film the Headmistress of Our Lady Giddiantus is named as "Miss Dinesta Clutterbuck" on the sign outside.

Miss Impatience Tutu[edit]

Miss Impatience Tutu is a dance teacher who first appeared in Horrid Henry's Dance Class. In the TV series, she is referred to as Madame Tutu and speaks with a French accent when talking to her class, but speaks with an English accent when talking to Henry individually. She seems to be a lot nicer in the TV series than in the books. She has blonde hair in a bun and wears a black leotard over a pale pink jumpsuit. She organised the show "I hear thunder" in the episode Horrid Henry's Dance Class. she is voiced by Emma Tate.

Miss Lovely[edit]

Miss Lydia Lovely is Peter's teacher. As her name suggests, she has a gentle nature. She is very proud of Peter's progress and behaviour and is always saying nice things about him to his parents. However, on odd occasions (such as when Peter hands in a "Why I Hate My Teacher" essay, which he wrote as "Why I Love My Teacher", which Henry edited the night before) she had lost her temper. She is often seen in the library, on library duty when she's in the reading area. During early seasons, she spoke with an Indian accent, which fitted considering she appears to be Asian, however, later on in the series, she speaks with a Welsh accent. She is voiced by Joanna Ruiz.

Miss Thumper[edit]

Miss Thumper only appears in Horrid Henry's Dance Class, where she works and she likes food.

Moody Margaret is a girl who is always fussing and wanting to get her own way. She is portrayed as the secondary main antagonist in the Horrid Henry franchise and serves as Horrid Henry's archenemy. She lives next door to Horrid Henry and her best friend is Sour Susan. Henry and Margaret are enemies; Margaret is the leader of the secret club and Henry is the leader of the Purple Hand Gang. She has an ability of screaming and always competes with Henry. She might be in love with Henry and may have a romantic crush on him, however, this is unknown because in Perfect Peter's Revenge, she is happy when Peter sends her a forged letter that said Henry loves and wants to marry Margaret, but aside from their huge rivalry, it is unknown if Margaret truly has a crush on Henry or not. She has auburn hair worn in a ponytail and wears a violet tank top with white stripes, green cardigan and a bottle-green skirt. Margaret, however, occasionally assists Henry in his plans, as seen in Horrid Henry's Horrid Revenge and Horrid Henry and the Big Dig, though under the word of being the leader of the Purple Hand Gang for a day or a month or even a whole year you will never know how long it will be maybe a week or even every month/year/day/second/minute. She is voiced by Sue Elliot-Nichols. In the episode Horrid Henry Rockstar it is suggested that her full name is Margaret Millicent Maudita Smythe which she also uses in subsequent episodes. However she denies this when Rude Ralph asks her if this is true.

As the primary antagonist of the series, Moody Margaret is the most prominent arch-enemy of the series' protagonist, Horrid Henry. Margaret is depicted as being a short-tempered and cantankerous girl who shares an intense rivalry with Henry, and their opposing neighbourhood clubs continuously develop practical jokes or conspiracies against one another. They have resorted to each other's companionship when left with no other options, but nonetheless detest one another and continuously plot against one another, especially in an attempt to soil each other's reputations. Margaret has a tendency to gloat about her various accomplishments in a ridiculously narcissistic fashion, looking down on others and domineering her friends and peers. True to this, she is resented by her best friend Sour Susan because of her rudeness, but Susan seems to have no other choice than to reluctantly obey Margaret's constant commands. Margaret viciously domineers the Secret Club in various plots formulated against Henry's corresponding Purple Hang Gang, and the two opposing sides share a mutual animosity. She is used to having her own way and is capable of releasing violent, piercing screeches when her demands remain unfulfilled.

While Francesca Simon was in the process of creating Moody Margaret, she suggested a boy called Moody Martin, but her husband wasn't well-suited with the idea as he thought that Moody Martin was too similar to Horrid Henry, the main character. Therefore, Francesca Simon made him a girl instead, and his name was changed into Moody "Margaret".

She is very vain and really loves pink. As seen in Horrid Henry and the Name Game, when Henry and Peter had Fifi, she had an orange collar but when Margaret has her, she has a pink bow. This shows how much Margaret loves pink and how girly she is. This is also shown in more episodes. In Moody Margaret Moves In, she turns Henry's room into Girly-land. Her bedroom is entirely pink and is sometimes seen wearing a Pink Tutu which she is the only person who has worn it with a pink skirt. This shows that Margaret's heart is pink. Margaret is also very spoiled by her lenient parents. Despite her love of makeup, fashion and beauty, Margaret is also quite tomboyish. She is talented at football and likes shows traditionally meant for boys like Gross Class Zero.

Live-action[edit]

  • Scarlet Stitt portrays Moody Margaret in the 2011 movie, Horrid Henry: The Movie. Like in the books and TV show, Moody Margaret retains Sour Susan as her best friend. At the beginning of the movie, She, Sour Susan and Singing Soraya are in the Secret Club tree house eating biscuits and arguing. Henry disguises himself as a spy, steals the biscuits and runs away but Margaret has also stolen his mighty magnet yoyo. Later, on his way home from school, Henry dodges a water balloon thrown by Margaret. He ducks behind a lamppost, waits for Margaret to walk past, throws a balloon filled with water that hovers over her head and finally, flicks a yoyo at the balloon which bursts and soaks Margaret. Margaret shrieks and throws another balloon at Henry but he ducks and it hits Perfect Peter instead.
    The next day at school, Margaret hangs a pail filled with purple paint over the door, ties one end of a rope to it and the other end to the door's handle. Instead of Henry who gets painted, it is their teacher Miss Battle-Axe who falls for the trick. Battle-Axe blames it on Henry, giving Margaret a lucky escape. The next day, Miss Battle Axe's class is moved to Miss Lovely's class after the head sacks Miss Battle-Axe for not controlling the pupils. Margaret snatches Henry's bag and Henry tries to pull it back, resulting in a pot of "Exploding Gross-Glue" placed by the school inspectors to fly out. The glue bursts and hits Miss Lovely in the face. She too gets sacked and the head, and Miss Oddbod bans Henry from entering the school's talent contest. As the school is going bankrupt, many children transfer to another school. Margaret and Henry both get transferred to a girls' school (Henry's Great-Aunt Greta transferred him there as she thinks he is a girl).
    The girls in the school attack Henry for being a boy and try to attack Margaret too for being with Henry. The two of them escape and form an alliance to save their school. They do this by making Henry sneak into the talent contest and win it so he would be so famous but the plan fails. They try another plan which involves Henry going onto a game show to win the big cash prize so he can give it to Miss Oddbod so she can give it to the school inspectors to bribe them away as they were the ones trying to get the school closed down under the order of the head of a boys' school called Vic Van Wrinkle. However, although Henry wins, the Best Boy's Club, Miss Lovely and Miss Oddbod had got Vic and the inspectors arrested so she lets Henry keep the money. At the very end, Margaret is seen in a fairy costume at Henry's party.

Animation[edit]

  • In 2006's Horrid Henry TV series, Moody Margaret is voiced by Sue Elliot-Nichols and is the series' most recurring villain. Margaret is represented just like she is in the books and seen as Henry's rival. However she is shown to be smarter. It has been hinted in some episodes, especially in series 4, that she may in fact admire Henry and wants to be his friend. She has shown a very keen interest in wanting to join The Purple Hand Gang. She might have a crush on Henry, e.g. in "Perfect Peter's Revenge", she was happy when Peter send her a forged letter that said Henry loves and wants to marry Margaret. On Henry's side he pictures himself marrying Margaret when he imagines himself in the future in the episodes Horrid Henry Gets Married and Horrid Henry's Birthday Bonanza although he does not know why this is. From the Series 3 episode Horrid Henry Rockstar she names herself as Margaret Millicent Maudita Smythe. However she denies this when Rude Ralph asks her if this is true in the first instance. Her shouting is able to break glass. This is seen in "Moody Margaret Moves In".

Warning: Display title "Perfect Peter" overrides earlier display title "Ninius Nerdon". Search List of Horrid Henry characters on Amazon.

Perfect Peter is Henry's perfect younger brother. He is often referred to as a "worm" by Henry. Peter has a very effeminate attitude, liking flowers much like Walter the Softy in the Dennis the Menace comic strips and cartoon series, believes in fairy tales, and is known to always do as he is told and treat others with respect. On several occasions, however, he has revealed that he is, in reality, very whiny and spoiled. It is obvious that Peter likes to get back at Henry with the help of his parents, and he always emotionally bribes them (e.g.: "You're the best mum in the world! So Henry won't be getting any biscuits will he?"), resulting in his parents favouring him.

More often than not, Henry gets into trouble as a result of Peter telling Mum or Dad when he has done something wrong, usually with the phrases "Mum/Dad! Henry's being horrid/mean!" or "Mum/Dad! Henry called me a worm/a toad/told me to shut up!", and he even blames Henry for the most minor offences. He has been known to blame Henry for things Henry hasn't even done. More comically, Peter expects praise for even the most minor things, such as "being normal", using his fork and knife, and often shows off how good he is, particularly when Henry is being reprimanded for his wild misbehaviour. This, and the fact that he always asks them politely.

Peter can also be desperate for praise and attention; he gets his toys out just to tidy them again in the episode "Horrid Henry And The Best Boys Club". In the same episode, it is hinted he sees the other members of "The Best Boys Club" as underlings rather than actual friends as he immediately refuses Gordon's suggestion of taking turns to decide things. This suggests that he only acts perfect because he gets praised. At times, he tries to take credit for Henry's rare good deeds, as shown in Horrid Henry's Perfect Day, and in Horrid Henry Horrid Headmaster, when he recorded what Henry said when Henry discovered he had to fill end of term reports ("No holiday for me, then."), then modified it into "No holiday!", causing the students to rebel. Peter seldom defies orders or complains about said orders, though as the series progresses, he indeed does defy adults or rules in revenge against Henry or while attempting to frame him, and he derives pleasure from Henry's suffering and punishments for his wild misbehaviour, implying that he may actually worse than his brother. Despite all this, Henry will still help Peter out on occasion, such as rescuing him from a falling shelf in the cellar in Horrid Henry Trapped.
