YMMV / Horrid Henry

Go To

  • Accidental Aesop: A lot of the episodes where Henry is accused of something he didn't do (Horrid Henry And The Tickly Treats Thief for example) can be seen as a life lesson about not accusing somebody of doing something they were not responsible for simply because he or she is a troublemaker or just likely to do it. You need concrete proof before acting on suspicion.
  • Adaptation Displacement: Let’s just say when people are speaking about Horrid Henry, they are likely talking about the Animated Adaptation, instead of the books.
  • Adorkable:
    • Horrid Henry. He may be horrid and reckless, but it doesn’t make him any less of a lovable dork.
    • Perfect Peter is, most of the time, a sweet and cheery, good little boy who loves to be helpful and kind.
    • Mum and Dad sometimes show signs of this, usually when they’re acting childish or are actually able to have fun with both their children.
    • Weepy William and Anxious Andrew, who are insecure and emotional crybabies, but also very sweet.
    • Gorgeous Gurinder and Singing Soraya’s giggling and kooky nature earns them this status.
    • Rude Ralph shares Henry’s interests, but is much more friendly and he brings out Henry’s soft side.
  • Alas, Poor Scrappy: Regardless of how you feel about Polly, Henry ruining her wedding and leaving her in tears seems a bit too mean spirited to count as a Take That, Scrappy!. Especially considering that she hardly did anything wrong in the episode.
  • Alternative Character Interpretation:
    • The way that Henry is treated by his father could be a case of the latter actually hating his younger self, given that the father is revealed to have been a troublemaker in his youth, he sometimes punishes Henry but other times cuts him a break when they are on the same page. At times, he is also able to get through to Henry in an effort to get Henry to improve his character.
    • You could also make a case like this about Henry’s mum. The reason she favours Peter is that he’s the type of kid she wanted/tried to be at a young age. Like Peter, she’s also much better at hiding her less-than-perfect traits (unless she’s dealing with Henry) than Dad and the rest of the family are. The reason she’s (much) harder on Henry is because while being horrid, he is also a regular kid, which makes her want of looking like a perfect mum with a perfect son that much harder.
    • Peter:
      • He's shown as being a nice boy most of the time who is able to hide his flaws very well, but part of the reason he is like that could be because he’s worried if he’s no longer seen as perfect no one will like him.
      • Alternately, Peter is actually narcissistic in the sense that he constantly expects praise from others and will gladly screw Henry over so that his parents will praise him while Henry gets punished. In addition, his perfect behaviour is a facade to hide how selfish and self-centred he is because he knows that his parents favour him over Henry.
      • Most people think Perfect Peter is Ambiguously Gay, due to his fashion sense, hairstyle, very girly interests (including a very girly bedroom), sensitivity, aversion to rock music, stronger sense of morality (but that part varies a lot) and how easily frightened and defensive he gets.
    • Henry:
      • While some (ok quite a few) see Henry losing his original characterization in Series' 1 and 2, it could also be seen as Henry (slowly) trying to become a better person, as we see he’s actually nice and friendly to his friends and to his teacher in a wheelchair. While at the same time he’s afraid of changing too much, too fast. He also has a fear of growing up and becoming miserable. So he stays horrid especially around his family (who are usually the meanest to him) to avoid this fate.
      • He definitely doesn’t want to lose his friends or marry Moody Margaret (someone he hates). If he became a father like his family wanted he’d likely fear becoming “mean” to his kids, like his parents are to him. Many people fear becoming their parents later in life and Henry can’t be more than 10 or 11 so his extreme reactions to those fears are pretty understandable.
      • Some of Henry’s blunders could easily be solved if he asked for help. But him constantly being yelled at and punished by his parents (especially when he’s innocent) would make Henry not want to go to them for help. Especially because when he actually needed help in the past and tried to go to his parents for it they dismissed him, because he believed something supernatural was causing the problem, when it was instead an ordinary issue that Henry didn’t know how to solve. Which means when Henry needed help from a parent it seemed unavailable. An example: In one episode Henry loses a perfectly good scooter he believes is haunted but it actually just had a small issue he didn’t notice, however it was something his dad or mum could have easily found and possibly fixed for him, but, too worried to ask for their help, he instead he gives it away, believing that will get rid of the curse meanwhile Margaret gets it the next day all fixed up, leaving Henry without a scooter.
      • Could Henry's horrid behaviours simply be him saying "Then let me be horrid!", considering how just about everyone except Ralph holds Henry in such contempt? Or is it the other way around - Henry acts horrid and thus everyone holds him with such contempt.
      • It's also common to believe Henry’s more horrid behaviours could be some symptoms of an undiagnosed disorder such as ADHD. His trouble in school might partly be part of a learning disability (mixed with hating school and being lazy). His bad behaviour could be seen as a cry for help as well or due to his parents neglecting him in favour of his younger brother.
      • Henry and Ralph might be in a secret (or not-so-secret) relationship. Most male best friends do not hold hands in public, enjoy being each other's dance partner, or give each other pet names. They are also extremely close, have no worries about giving each other physical comfort, compliment each other in a gushing fashion, and they tend to blush around each other at times. Heck, Henry has no issue with kissing Ralph on the cheek and he was even all smiles afterwards. (Ralph was pretending to be Peter for Henry and he freaked out after the cheek kiss, but still.) One episode had Ralph being extremely sad when he thought Henry was going to move, and another episode had Henry helping Ralph with his insecurities and the two boys singing a song together, during which they hug and gaze into each other's eyes.
      • Some fans have begun to subscribe to the belief that Henry might be transgender. This is primarily due to his Great-Aunt Greta strongly believing him to be a girl and treating him like one no matter how many times he insists to the contrary - "I'm a BOY, not a girl!!"
      • The books establish that when Peter was a baby, Henry tried to get rid of him by doing things like stuffing him in a mailbox and rolling him down a hill. Some people think that he was actually trying to kill Peter, while others think that he was just trying to get rid of Peter and didn't realise how dangerous his tactics were.
  • Americans Hate Tingle: The cartoon was considered ground-breaking in its native United Kingdom, still getting formidable ratings with its target audience and airing simultaneously on two UK and Ireland channels. However, outside the British Isles but especially in the United States (where it aired on Starz Kids & Family), certain viewers criticized elements such as the way a lot of the characters act, disturbing scenes you wouldn't expect to see in your average kids' cartoon, background music that often drowns out lines of dialogue, and utterly ridiculous episode ideas (with one centred on hashtags). The US also doesn’t have all the episodes on Netflixnote , losing some of the more specific episodes that involve Ralph and Henry which notably have been a favourite of its LGBT Fanbase.
  • Awesome Music:
  • Base-Breaking Character:
    • Horrid Henry himself. Some like him for his over-the-top mischief and see him a Jerkass Woobie at certain points, while others find him a bad influence due to how he treats everyone, including Perfect Peter.
    • Perfect Peter. Either you'll feel bad for him for what Henry puts him through or find him an annoying tattletale and goody-two-shoes who likes to see Henry get punished, even when Henry does nothing to deserve it.
    • Henry's parents also count. On one side they're considered relatable people due to having an extremely misbehaved son and having to pay for the damages he causes can make you feel sympathy for them. On the other hand, they're seen as Abusive Parents who give all the credit to Peter and neglect Henry when he hasn't even done anything wrong. The fact that this exchange in "Perfect Peter's Horrid Day" doesn't help when Peter purposely sprays water at Henry in order to get into trouble, and how Dad seemed to try and make it sound like Peter didn't do anything wrong:
      Henry: Peter sprayed me!
      Dad: Don't tell lies Henry...
      Peter: It's true; I sprayed him!
      Dad: Well then... you should have got out of the way when Peter was watering the flowers!
    • Moody Margaret is this to some too. Whilst there are a lot of fans who hate her for being an insufferable spoiled brat who gets away with mischievous behaviour significantly more often than Henry, some like her for being somewhat of a female equivalent to Henry who can give him a run for his money.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
    • In the cartoon, the scenes where Henry suddenly morphs into a creature whenever someone does something to him can become jarring in a show that’s mostly down to earth. Then again, this is usually seen as him attempting to do get revenge on the person who bothered him, and this is how he visualises it.
    • Henry's Dad's brief appearance in the episode "Perfect Peter's Pen Pal", where he suddenly announces and brings in a cream cake, and then he falls for Henry's trap, making him land face first into the cake.
    • One of the scenes in the beginning scene of "Happy Birthday Peter!" had Henry and Ralph jumping on a seesaw with Peter on the other end, flinging him up to the sky in high speeds. And it wasn't even implied that it was an Imagine Spot!
  • Bizarro Episode:
    • "Horrid Henry's Dinosaur Day", the episode where Henry turns into a dinosaur for the whole of the episode.
    • "Who's Who?", where Henry switches all the kids' nicknames and this somehow causes them to switch their personality traits too.
    • "Horrid Henry, This Is Your Fault!", a Musical Episode with original songs.
  • Catharsis Factor:
    • For people who aren't fans of Henry's parents, the episode "Horrid Boy" ending with the both of them being recommended a course to learn how to be better parents can feel very satisfying.
    • Even though they may come off as a case of Protagonist-Centered Morality, a lot of moments where Henry gets Peter into trouble can be rather satisfying to those who hate Peter for his Bitch in Sheep's Clothing behavior and constant Tattling.
  • Creator's Pet: In the TV series, and some of the books, Moody Margaret seems to get away with thing more often than any other character in the show. Whilst this rarely happens in the earlier episodes, it seems to have increased significantly in later episodes. The far notable examples include "Horrid Henry and the Birthday Present"note  and "Horrid Henry's Unhappy Day"note , which either have her come off as petty, just as horrid as her nemesis, a spoiled brat or all of the above and is still able to walk away scott-free. Her increase in screen time during later episodes to the point of appearing in just about nearly every episode does imply the writers are really fond of the character, not helped that the book's author, Francesca Simon, has said that Margaret was her favourite character.
  • Character Perception Evolution: While back in the day, many adults viewed the titular character less as a lovable prankster and more like a spoiled whiny Jerkass ungrateful for everything he had, in later years, many people have come to sympathize with him due to his parents handling his behavior with emotional abuse and comparing him to his brother, Perfect Peter (who isn't as perfect as his name suggests). As a result, nowadays more people understand why exactly he's so horrid.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • There are several moments in the book series where Henry punches and slaps Peter, and this was used as a Running Gag.
    • In Don't Be Horrid, Henry!, many of the things the titular character does has him attempting to kill Peter as a toddler in various ways, such as pushing him down a very steep hill in a pram.
    • Some of the songs Henry sang in "Horrid Henry Rocks" had a lyric involving shoving an old lady down the stairs. During a child-friendly performance in front of his parents and hundreds of families.
    • There is a running gag in the book series where Henry tells his parents he genuinely hates them.
  • Designated Hero:
    • Henry treats his family, his teachers and his friends rudely and carelessly, his alliterative name fits him well.
      • He gets a little better later on in the series by becoming a little nicer to the people he likes. But he’s still a horrid little boy to everyone else.
    • Henry’s family tends to act this way whenever they blame Henry and unfairly punish him for something he clearly doesn’t do.
    • Perfect Peter and Moody Margaret can be as bad or worse than Henry at times.
  • Designated Villain:
    • Peter on occasion. He does tell tales a lot, true, but he's sometimes treated as the bad guy even when he has a good reason for ratting out Henry.
    • Miss Battle-Axe can be seen as one despite her doing her job as a teacher.
    • While one can argue that Henry's Mum and Dad aren't exactly parent of the year material, there are times where they're treated as evil even when they have a good reason for punishing Henry.
    • Sometimes, Henry can become a victim of this whenever he gets blamed for something bad that happens. He lampshades it quite frequently.
  • Diagnosed by the Audience:
    • Polly wants people to stick to her plan, whines at the slightest thing that throws it off, can never be reasoned with, and rejects anything she doesn’t like, which has caused some viewers to think she has OCD or similar.
    • Andrew is very meek, fidgets a lot when he’s nervous, is quite intelligent for his age, has overprotective parents, and is mostly nonverbal. This has caused people to think he's either autistic or has some kind of anxiety disorder.
    • It can be presumed that Greta has some form of dementia, or at least rather poor eyesight. She's believed that Henry is a female toddler and that Peter is a teenager old enough to drive. She also mistook the back door for a fridge door and a Mutant Max poster as a supermarket employee. She gradually gets better with this issue as the series progresses, but is still very confused.
    • Many people think that Henry is the way he is because he might be undiagnosed on the autism spectrum, or that he may have ADHD. His illiteracy and his failures to pay attention in class could suggest he might have a learning disability like dyslexia as well.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: Both Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter get this treatment. Neither of them are villains, but some people glorify one in favour of the other.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Horrid Henry's best friend, and implied boyfriend, Rude Ralph, is rather popular with fans due to his hilarious lines and for how well their relationship and feelings towards each other are well put together, especially in the LGBT community.
  • Fandom Rivalry: Fans of the Horrid Henry and Dennis the Menace often butt heads, with Dennis fans accusing Horrid Henry of being a "rip off", even though Dennis can be more of an intentional troll than Henry.
  • Ho Yay:
    • Henry and Ralph are very close to each other.
      • In the episode "Horrid Henry's Favourite Day", Henry enters himself into a "best brothers" contest to win a new computer game. Instead of being nice to his brother Peter, Henry dresses Rude Ralph up as Peter and they stage pictures of Henry being nice to Peter. In one of the pictures, Henry kisses Ralph on the cheek. And in the final picture after the kiss, Henry is shown smiling implying he might have liked kissing Ralph. Ralph is shown smiling when being kissed, but freaks out after remembering they are taking photos. Henry, happy to have kissed Ralph on the cheek in addition to getting the pictures he needed for the contest, however Ralph wipes Henry’s kiss off. Maybe Ralph didn’t want anyone to know about the kiss?
      • In “Good Morning Henry”, Henry and Ralph are singing together and when they get close to one another, they make shy, blushing faces at each other.
      • In “Horrid Henry: Untouchable”, they were paired up in a dancing class together, but they didn’t seem to mind that apart from meeting the demands of their teachers.
      • At the end of “Horrid Henry and the Strict Teacher”, Henry and Ralph are holding hands and don’t seem to mind doing it in front of their whole class.
      • In “Horrid Henry Says Goodbye”, Ralph is the only guest to come back and say goodbye after Henry’s ungrateful outburst at the farewell party. They both seem reluctant to let each other go. Henry is struggling to say something very important to Ralph, but then stops himself and just bids him farewell. They both look at each other with sad smiles, as if they’re going to cry.
      • Henry and Ralph actually don’t seem to mind hugging or holding hands in public.
      • In "The New Best Friend", when Henry begins spending time with Nicola, Ralph acts pretty jealous because of it. After Nicola is suspended, Henry apologizes to Ralph for ignoring him and says he would rather have him instead of Nicola, to which Ralph is very touched. It’s almost as if they got back together after a breakup.
    • Anxious Andrew and Weepy William’s relationship also comes into play since they’re rarely seen apart, are as close as Henry and Ralph, and have similar personalities.
    • Gorgeous Gurinder and Singing Soraya are very close. They both are quite vain and enjoy singing and music, both seem to have crushes on Henry and Ralph, but that being said, they also are comfortable sleeping in the same bed together, always hang out together as much as they can, often sit with each other when with the rest of the Secret Club and when their dance in their Dancing lessons was ruined, they just stopped and stared at each other.
  • Informed Wrongness: Peter blaming Henry for Fluffy running away in Where's Fluffy is meant to be seen as an example of Henry being The Scapegoat but in this case, it's not as though Peter is entirely wrong considering that Henry was partly at fault for it considering that Fluffy had been driven to run away due to having to deal with Henry's naughtiness.
  • Jerkass Woobie:
    • Horrid Henry. He may be horrid, rude and careless, but he is clearly The Un-Favourite amongst his family, his brother is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who likes getting him in trouble, his other relatives are no better, he doesn’t know how to read and he has to deal with the annoying Moody Margaret. It becomes worse when in later series, despite his behaviour and attitude improving, everyone else decides to make him a scapegoat to escape their own problems. Henry sometimes deserves a hug and a kiss for what he goes through.
    • Perfect Peter. He may be smug, spoiled, and self-centred, but he is frequently bullied by Henry on a daily basis and he’s just so overall pathetic that you sometimes can’t help but feel bad for him.
    • Sour Susan. You will feel bad for her since Margaret treats her like a slave instead of a friend. She even literally says this to Susan’s face. She deserves a better friend.
    • Pimply Paul may seem like a grouchy jerk, but he is actually a very honest and hardworking guy, but he never gets the respect or thanks he deserves from anyone (not even from his own wife, who is a whiny nag, no less), leaving him in bitter contempt. It doesn’t help that Henry deliberately ruined his and Polly’s wedding. Luckily for him he now has a surrogate son in Henry (if only for an episode).
    • Miss. Battle Axe has her moments when Henry goes too far with his recklessness. Heck factor in almost the rest of her class is rough and her nagging mother never believes her and she makes a good case for one of this show’s actual The Woobie.
    • Mum and Dad are neglectful towards or just plain mean to Henry and they tend to make him their scapegoat, for everything, but with a son like him, who could blame them at times? It doesn’t help that they always end up having to pay for Henry’s actions and are held responsible for them, that’s sad even if they are terrible parents. Their relationships with their siblings and respective (likely bad) childhoods can make you feel bad for them.
    • Prissy Polly in the episode "Horrid Henry and the Wedding", in which she breaks down into tears saying that her wedding was not "the best day" of her life because of Henry's antics. Despite being bossy and controlling, you do feel rather sorry for Polly as her wedding ended up being a disaster considering that she didn't do anything wrong to Henry.
  • Launcher of a Thousand Ships: You would be amazed at all the characters Henry is paired up with.
  • LGBT Fanbase: From Henry and Ralph's relationship to Perfect Peter, Anxious Andrew and Weepy William's effeminacy, this was inevitable. Some people also believe Singing Soraya and Gorgeous Gurinder might be in some sort of relationship due to how close they are, like with Ralph and Henry.
  • Misaimed Fandom: Some people don't realize the song "Girls Rule" is supposed to be ironic, as the girls singing it don't possess the qualities they're bragging about. In their defence, that song messed everyone up.
  • Moe:
    • Perfect Peter, whenever he's not being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing or seen as The Scrappy.
      • Peter’s friends as well, they have all of Peter’s cuteness and none of his meanness.
    • Horrid Henry when he is not being gross or mean, he’s actually pretty endearing and adorable.
    • Vomiting Vera when she’s not, well, vomiting.
    • Anxious Andrew and Weepy William's shyness and cowardice make them just plain adorable to watch.
    • The resident twin sisters, Gorgeous Gurinder and Singing Soraya for being actually kind girls who are also fun to watch.
    • Brainy Brian, New Nick and Jolly Josh as well.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Nasty Nicola crossed it in her debut episode. She pretends to return Henry’s feelings for her and then frames him for various crimes across the school, almost resulting in him being expelled. Had Peter and Brian not intervened, she would've won for sure.
  • Rainbow Lens: It is not-so-subtly hinted throughout the series that Henry and Ralph are more than friends, given how extremely close, possessive and affectionate they are towards each other.
  • Never Live It Down:
    • Many fans have never forgiven Henry's Mum for cheering at the idea of him disappearing in Happy Birthday Peter regardless of any nice things she's done for Henry before and after the episode.
    • When it comes to Henry many fans haven't forgotten when he was jealous of Peter when the latter was born and tried to get rid of him by rolling him down the hill and putting him in a mailbox. Many fans point out that, even though Henry likely didn't know, this would likely have killed baby Peter.
  • Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading: Henry and Ralph are supposed to be Heterosexual Life-Partners and nothing more. However, a lot of readers (especially teenage ones) took to seeing their interactions as signs that they might be smitten with one another. In particular, it's hard to read or watch all of the Ho Yay scenes featuring them without seeing those scenes as platonic.
  • Ron the Death Eater: Sure, the title character is a bratty kid, but some of his detractors often exaggerate these traits, completely ignoring the fact that despite his faults, he's shown to care about his family and friends and is not the cruel, malicious Creepy Child that they make him out to be.
    • In recent years, Mum and Dad have been seen as Abusive Parents just as bad as, if not worse, than Clay and Bloberta Puppington and Mr. and Mrs. Turner who constantly deny Henry of breakfast and treat him like absolute crap even when he isn't doing anything wrong. While yes, they aren't exactly "Parents of the Year" and can be unfair to Henry, but they do genuinely love him, and let's face it, Henry's not "Horrid Henry" for nothing. It doesn't help that these detractors judge them solely by select out of context clips (like the aforementioned Mum cheering at Henry's "disappearance" scene) that were posted online and take them seriously.
  • The Scrappy: Prissy Polly. Her shrilly voice and overly jolly personality tend to annoy viewers as well as her habit of wanting things to be exactly her way, even to the discomfort of others. It doesn’t help that she treats her husband (who is constantly oppressed to begin with) like dirt. To some, she can be viewed as the female equivalent of Perfect Peter.
  • Seasonal Rot: By the time the cartoon went onto Series 3, many viewers believed the quality worsened and that Henry was beginning to lose his character, changing from a brat to a complete scapegoat. In one episode, where Henry turns into a dinosaur (for nearly the entire episode), after saving a woman's pet from a tree, Henry has decided to become the opposite of what his name implies, which is him watching "Happy Hippos" with his brother.
  • Squick:
    • "Horrid Henry Changes a Nappy" has Vera throw up onscreen several times, once directly on Henry, and she also waves her nappy around, getting her poop everywhere, and throws it on Margret's head before landing back on Henry's.
    • In "Horrid Henry's Sick Day", Henry imagines his sick mother and brother covering him from head-to-toe in snot.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: The song Henry and his band members "play" in "Horrid Henry's Horrid Heroes" sounds rather similar to the Kaiser Chiefs song "I Predict a Riot".
  • Take That, Scrappy!: Really, whenever Henry manages to attack or humiliate any one of his enemies in some way or another, but especially Margaret in light of "Horrid Henry's Unhappy Day".
  • Technology Marches On: The conflict of the story "Horrid Henry And The Comfy Black Chair" involves Henry being unable to watch his favourite shows because Peter keeps beating him to the comfy black chair and gets to watch what he wants. if the story had taken place at any point after the late 2000s, Henry would have been able to watch said shows online (though the concept could still be used if the family did not subscribe to any services that hosted the shows in question).
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: This is how some people feel about the entire franchise, especially those from the United States. Considering that Henry is a selfish brat with a borderline realistic depiction of a screwed up, abusive family, and the fact that they live in a Crapsack World where everyone is either a Jerkass or an undeserving butt-monkey, both the books and the cartoon series are not exactly easy to enjoy at times.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic:
    • For the most part, Henry does deserve to be punished for his behaviour in a lot of episodes. However, there are some instances where Henry either commits a very harmless act or tries to do something nice (but it fails) or actually doesn’t do anything to deserve punishment and yet still suffers the consequences.
    • Henry's Mum and Dad are often treated as Abusive Parents for telling off Henry for his bad behaviour and favouring Peter over him, but one needs to keep in mind that Henry isn't exactly a well-behaved child, so they can come off more as stressed parents having to deal with a destructive child. Plus, there were a few occasions where they have punished Peter (when he deserved it.)
    • Margaret in "Horrid Henry, Bogus Babysitter". Whilst she and Susan were rather neglectful towards Vicky, she didn't really do anything wrong and yet she ends up getting into trouble for the mischievous things Vicky did.
    • Peter, at least whenever Henry genuinely deserves to be punished (most of the time, he does).
      • One episode shows him breaking a vase and he becomes extremely worried that his mum would hate him. He loves his mum a lot, but being afraid of losing her love over a broken vase is sad. It takes Henry to tell him he will take the fall and not to worry for him to calm down.
    • Vera is meant to be gross and annoying because she throws up all the time and one episode dealt with her needing to be changed. However, she's instead seen as adorable by many viewers because not only is she one of the only characters to never intentionally do anything mean, she's a baby.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Henry's parents are meant to be portrayed as a pair of reasonable, exasperated parents who are at their wits end due to dealing with an unruly child. And indeed, as mentioned above there are plenty of instances where they are justified in punishing Henry. However, given how unfairly they tend to punish Henry most other times, and often outright neglecting him and favouring Peter, who isn't quite as "perfect" as his nickname suggests, many fans and detractors alike view them as full on Abusive Parents who may even simply be the cause of Henry's horrid behaviour. Even the times where Henry's parents are shown being genuinely nice to Henry aren't enough to redeem them in the eyes of many viewers.
  • The Woobie:
    • Anxious Andrew and Weepy William are the biggest victims of Henry’s abuse and torment in the books.
    • Moody Margaret’s parents try to please their daughter, but she’s an ungrateful brat who treats them like her slaves.
