List of Horrid Henry characters
The following is a list of characters that appear in Horrid Henry, a British series of children's books written by Francesca Simon. It also includes names from the TV series of the same name and the 2011 film.
Main characters
Horrid Henry
Horrid Henry[1][2] is the main character of the series. He is a very determined and relentless boy who believes that life is unfair, and 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.[3][4][5] Henry is often rude, selfish, impatient, hot-tempered, impulsive, arrogant, and hardly ever learns from his mistakes, refusing to acknowledge them.[6][2] Because of his young age, however, Henry can get frightened by talk of ghosts or monsters, and is revealed to have a fear of needles in "Horrid Henry's Injection".[7][8] 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. Whenever Henry thinks of a plan it is simply to get his own way, never to make trouble purely for its own sake.[9][3][10] He has a club called the Purple Hand Gang (a parody of the Black Hand Gang), with its headquarters being a fort hidden behind branches in Henry's back garden.[4]
According to Francesca Simon, she got the idea for Horrid Henry when Judith Elliott, an editor at Orion Books, asked her to write a story about a horrid child.[11] She also wanted to write about sibling rivalry and families where one child was considered "perfect" and the other "horrid".[12][13][14][15][16] Henry was drawn with long hair and a striped shirt by Tony Ross in order to make him "recognisable from all angles".[11] Henry is voiced by Lizzie Waterworth in the TV series.[17][18][19][20][21] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he is portrayed by Theo Stevenson.[22]
Perfect Peter
Perfect Peter[1][2] is Henry's perfect younger brother, with whom he is in conflict.[23][24] He is often referred to as a "worm" or "toad" by Henry. Being quite mature for his age, he exhibits ideal traits including cleanliness, neatness, eating his vegetables, using his fork and knife, good manners and high academic prowess, resulting in his parents favouring him.[3][25] He also often shows off how good he is, particularly when Henry is being reprimanded for his misbehaviour.[6] Henry gets into trouble when Peter tells Mum or Dad that he has done something wrong, usually with the phrases "Mum/Dad! Henry's being horrid/mean to me!" or "Mum/Dad! Henry called me a worm/a toad/told me to shut up!"[26][27] Despite being perfect, Peter is also naïve, as he believes Henry's odd stories without question.[3] He can also be desperate for praise and attention and manipulates situations to his advantage.[6] He is also the leader of the Best Boys Club.
In the TV series, Peter is revealed on several occasions to be, in reality, very whiny and spoiled. In addition to being desperate for praise and attention (e.g. getting his toys out just to tidy them again in "Horrid Henry Joins the Best Boys Club"), he tries to take credit for Henry's rare good deeds at times, as shown in episodes such as "Horrid Henry's Perfect Day" and "Horrid Henry: Horrid Headmaster". 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. 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!".
The inspiration for Peter came when Francesca Simon wanted to write about sibling rivalry and families where one child was considered "perfect" and the other "horrid".[28][29][16] Tony Ross stated that he found Peter "challenging" to draw due to his innocent posture, so he mostly "put [the character's] hands behind his back and turned the face upwards".[11] Peter is voiced by Emma Tate in the TV series.[17][30][20] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he is portrayed by Ross Marron.[22]
Mum
Mum is the mother of Henry and Peter. Due to Henry's behaviour, she appears to be quite stressed and irritable,[31] and is strict towards him. She unfairly treats Henry most of the time, sending him to his room and banning him from watching television, pocket money, sweets and the computer, and believing him to have done terrible things that he has not done,[32] as shown in "Perfect Peter's Horrid Day".[33] Mum favours Peter over Henry and constantly praises him on his hard work and achievements,[32] though will discipline him when needed.[34][35] Despite her strictness towards Henry and favouring of Peter, she does care for both her children and wants to know about their well-being. Tony Ross drew Mum with jeans and trainers to differentiate her from other mothers and give her a "trendier" look.[11] In the TV series, Mum works part-time as the assistant manager of a library for Mrs Mossy. She enjoys reading and fashion and is interested in beauty products like perfume. She also likes going in the cosmetics store "I'm A Lady".[36] She is voiced by Tamsin Heatley in the TV series,[17][37][20] except for the episode "Horrid Henry's School Trip", where she is voiced by Sue Elliott-Nichols. In Horrid Henry: The Movie, she is portrayed by Siobhan Hayes.[38]
Dad
Dad is the father of Henry and Peter. Like Mum, he has never trusted Henry to be well behaved.[39][31] He also likes making Henry and Peter very healthy packed lunches.[40] Peter often shows off to Dad by being perfect 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, as shown in "Horrid Henry's Hike".[41] 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 (such as when Peter misbehaves), he will still dismiss it as "rubbish" and will find excuses for him. Although strict, he is much more tolerant and patient with Henry than Mum is by giving him second chances. He is often shown to be capable of distracting Henry enough that he behaves. Dad works as an office manager at Tingly Toothbrushes. He is voiced by Wayne Forester.[42][17][20] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he is portrayed by Mathew Horne.[22]
Moody Margaret
Moody Margaret is a girl who is portrayed as the primary main antagonist in the Horrid Henry franchise, and serves as Horrid Henry's competitive arch-enemy and next-door neighbour.[43][26][44] She is very bossy and domineering, and is capable of releasing violent, piercing screams when her demands remain unfulfilled, as shown in "Horrid Henry and Moody Margaret" and "Moody Margaret Moves In".[45][46] Her parents spoil her and let her do anything that she wants. 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 commands. Margaret leads the Secret Club in various plots formulated against Henry's Purple Hang Gang.[47] In "Horrid Henry: Rockstar!", her full name is revealed to be Margaret Millicent Maudita Smythe. Despite being a bully, Margaret is friends with most of the girls in her class. She is also very vain, frequently fussing over her appearance and trying to outshine her friends in fashion and toys. She is also quite athletic and loves to play football.
While Francesca Simon was in the process of creating Moody Margaret, she suggested a boy called Moody Martin, but her husband Martin Stamp did not approve of the idea as he thought that Moody Martin was too similar to Horrid Henry, the main character. Therefore, Simon made him a girl instead, and his name was changed into Moody Margaret.[15][8] Simon stated in an interview that Margaret was based on herself at a young age and how she imagined Margaret Thatcher to have been as a child.[48] Margaret is voiced by Sue Elliott-Nichols in the TV series.[17][49][20] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, she is portrayed by Scarlett Stitt.[22]
Rude Ralph
Rude Ralph[1] is Horrid Henry's best friend, who lives the life of luxury that Henry dreams of having. He gladly assists Henry in many of his plans, including plots to raid Moody Margaret's Secret Club, with him being a member of Henry's Purple Hand Gang, and even joining with Henry in bullying Perfect Peter in some stories (e.g. calling Peter a "crybaby" in "Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb"[50]).[43][51] In the TV series, besides Henry, he is often seen with Aerobic Al and Beefy Bert. He is voiced by Aidan Cook.[17][52][53][54] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he is portrayed by Lloyd Howells.[38]
Sour Susan
Sour Susan is Moody Margaret's best friend. She is rude, a bit dense, sassy and immature, and likes to copy Margaret by saying, "Yeah, [whatever Margaret said]," when she insults people (mainly boys) such as Horrid Henry, Rude Ralph or even Perfect Peter. Margaret is often a bad friend to Susan, as they always have arguments. She always moans at Margaret when she thinks that she is being selfish and unfair.[43][26][55] In "Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb", Susan is stated to hate Lazy Linda as she had not invited her to a sleepover.[56] However, in "Moody Margaret's Sleepover", Susan and Linda seem to get along fine.[57] In the TV series, her face is mostly puckered, like when someone eats sour food. She is voiced by Joanna Ruiz.[17][58] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, she is portrayed by Helena Barlow.[38]
Miss Battle-Axe
Miss Boudicca Battle-Axe is a strict Scottish teacher and the secondary 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, usually due to his horrid behaviour which disrupts her class.[43][26][59] She once said that Henry's class was the worst she ever taught in "Horrid Henry's School Project".[60] Her mother, Mother Battle-Axe, appears in the story "Horrid Henry Dines at Restaurant Le Posh"[61] and a few episodes, where she disciplines her daughter greatly. Despite hating Henry's class, it is apparent that Miss Battle-Axe is tough enough to survive teaching it, as all of Henry's teachers prior to her are mentioned to have quit because of him.[62]
Tony Ross stated that Miss Battle-Axe was "the character [he] enjoyed drawing [the] most", drawing inspiration from one of his first primary school teachers.[11] Miss Battle-Axe is voiced by Aidan Cook in the TV series.[17][52][53][54] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, she is portrayed by Anjelica Huston.[22]

She is shown in most episodes sitting by the sitting room window sill at night, using the TV remote (later changed to a tablet in Series 4) during the night to switch to sunrise. Like Peter, she seems to dislike Henry as she once framed him for eating several packets of a snack that Mum likes. Despite being female, she is sometimes referred to as a "he".

She speaks in an upper class accent and is voiced by Joanna Ruiz.[58]
- Ms Tiddler: A pessimistic elderly lady who lives on the same street as Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter, and is their neighbour. She is more commonly referred to as the Little Old Lady.

Vic Van Wrinkle
Vic Van Wrinkle is the strict, fiery-tempered headmaster of Brick House School and the main antagonist in Horrid Henry: The Movie. He tries to close Ashton Primary School and send all the students to Brick House School so he can earn enough money to close all the schools in Ashton. Despite being the main antagonist, Wrinkle never comes face to face with Horrid Henry or has any form of interaction with him. Instead he relies on his subordinates, two school inspectors (portrayed by Metin and Timur Ahmet[80]), to sabotage his efforts in order to close down Ashton Primary. Perfect Peter reveals his plan to Miss Oddbod over the phone, and thwarts his escape by tying his shoelaces once the police locate his whereabouts. Wrinkle falls out the window, and, along with the school inspectors, is arrested and sent to jail. Wrinkle is portrayed by Richard E. Grant.[22]

The idea for Horrid Henry came about when an illustrator friend of Francesca Simon's asked her to write a book about a naughty child, as she was fed up of drawing angelic children! As the eldest of four children, Simon also wanted to write about the relationships between brothers and sisters, and so she created Perfect Peter. Although she says she adores Peter, Simon admits that Henry is most people's favourite; he is the "imp inside everyone" and of course it's "sometimes great to let that imp out"!
