Grandma also seemed to have been very fond of her grandson Henry, holding him in a family photograph. However, she sadly passed away when Henry was a toddler and Peter was a baby. This seems to have devastated Mum, and thinking about her made her cry. Unfortunately, Henry and Peter can't remember her, and so do not really have many memories of her, only being photographs.

This is reflected in the presents that she sends to the boys. Although Henry's parents have told her countless times that Henry is a boy and Peter is six, Greta refuses to believe this, and usually does not 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 was a dog named Fido.

Horrid Henry is the main character of the series and is portrayed as a very determined and relentless young boy. 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.[24] Henry is often rude, selfish, impatient, hot-tempered, impulsive, arrogant, 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, Mrs Mossy, 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 "Horrid Henry's Injection", is revealed to have a fear of needles.[25] 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" while 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 well 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 that he has low self-esteem. 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.[24]
According to Francesca Simon, she got the idea for Horrid Henry when a friend asked her to write a story about a horrid child. She also wanted to write about sibling rivalry and families where one child was considered "perfect" and the other "horrid".[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Henry is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks[1][2] and Lizzie Waterworth-Santo in the TV series.[10][33][34][12][5] In Horrid Henry: Live and Horrid!, he is portrayed by Steven Butler, Stephen McGill and Steven Tagg.[35][36][6][37][38][39][40] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he is portrayed by Theo Stevenson, Jack Ambrose (body double) and Minoo Meinen (stunt double).

In Series 5, Martin not only seems to gain a lot more appearances in episodes, but also seems to have a more positive outlook on Henry and now babysits him and Peter whenever Mum and Dad are going out. Most often he walks in the house with Mum trying in vain at times to communicate with him regarding instruction on how take care of Peter and Henry, and immediately sits on the living room armchair and stays there listening to music on his headphones until the parents come back, after which he subsequently leaves the house without a word.

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". 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 constant commands. Margaret viciously domineers the Secret Club in various plots formulated against Henry's corresponding Purple Hang Gang.[45] In "Perfect Peter's Revenge", she is happy when Peter sends her a forged letter saying that Henry loves and wants to marry her, but aside from their intense rivalry, it is unknown if Margaret truly has a crush on Henry or not. 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, it is unknown how long it will be. In "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. Despite being a bit of a bully, Margaret is friends with most of the girls in her class, and is the Queen Bee of the school. Margaret is also very vain. She frequently fusses over her appearance and always tries to outshine her friends in fashion and toys. She is also quite athletic and loves to play football. Margaret is not shown to do particularly well in school, and Miss Battle-Axe appears to not have much faith in her. However, Margaret is very cunning and calculating. All of her bad traits may stem from her being insecure, as hinted in "Horrid Henry: How to Be Horrid".
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.[32][25] 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.[46][47] Her password for the Secret Club, "nunga", was one of Simon's son Joshua Stamp's (b. August 1989) favourite nonsense words.[29] 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 is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks[1][2] and Sue Elliott-Nichols in the TV series.[10][8][34][5] In Horrid Henry: Live and Horrid!, she is portrayed by Rachael Swift.[6] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, she is portrayed by Scarlett Stitt and Georgia Sitwell (body double).

Miss Oddbod is the head teacher of Ashton Primary School. Her name is revealed as Mrs Oddbod in the story "Horrid Henry's School Project".

Despite her title as head teacher, she is somewhat kinder to Henry than Miss Battle-Axe.

Ms Tiddler
Ms Tiddler, more commonly referred to as the Little Old Lady, is a pessimistic elderly lady who lives on the same street as Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter, and is their neighbour. It is unknown which house on the street she lives in. She dislikes children and cats. Ms Tiddler owns a dog called Tiddles. She dislikes Henry's family and always calls them, as well as anyone, everything and anything, horrid. She hates children and does not seem to care for other people, as shown that she lets her dog, Tiddles, pee on whoever he likes. Ms Tiddler is likely very lonely, and believes nobody likes her, which might explain her cruelty. In "Horrid Henry Meets Mr Tiddler", she has a twin sister (whose character design is reused for her in Series 5), a famous author who wrote Peter's favourite book, "The Story Of Mr Tiddler". She is voiced by Tamsin Heatley.[5][14]

In the books, Mum is not portrayed as very attractive and is also hostile and cruel to Henry. She favours Peter over Henry and is humiliated by his behaviour. She constantly praises Peter on his hard work and achievements, though will discipline him when needed. She tries to make people believe she is kind and caring, and is jealous of her wealthy sister Ruby. Compared to Dad, she is much more strict.[50] Unlike the books, the TV series shows Mum as quite pretty. Though she still is strict towards Henry and favours Peter over Henry, she does care for both her children and wants to know about her children's well-being. 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". Mum is shown to be quite close to her sister Ruby, though slightly annoyed by Ruby's wealth. She gets stressed very easily and as such can lash out when very stressed or annoyed. She is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks[1][2] and Tamsin Heatley in the TV series,[10][11][12][5] 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.
Mutant Max
Mutant Max is a character from one of Henry's favourite television shows, "Mutant Max". He is a large, musclebound mutant of some kind, although how he became this way has not been fully revealed. However in "Horrid Henry and the Walking Stick Gang", it is implied he was mutated from a gas as Henry stutters out in the comic. In the show, he battles a selection of villains in the far reaches of outer space. As of Series 4, "Mutant Max" has not made any notable appearances, presumably in favour of the more prominent "Gross Class Zero". In the books, he has green skin and black hair. In the TV series, he has pale, almost grey skin, is bald except for a few spiky hairs, and dresses in a pair of tattered blue dungarees. His most striking feature is his lower jaw, a spiked metal plate that attaches to his ears. He has various superpowers that he uses throughout his adventures.

When Henry arrives, he finds the house has a lot of dogs and karaoke singers and has a thoroughly miserable evening. New Nick has appeared a couple of times since, but it is not clear to whether he ever renews his friendship with Henry.

She allows Nick to make his own rules, go to bed anytime that he likes, and lets him get away with anything. She has pale skin and blonde hair in two long plaits, and wears a pink dress, a blue cape, blue shoes, a blue hat with two Viking horns and a white feather on top, horand gold bracelets.

She then opens her lunchbox and eats some sweets and treats while Henry's mouth waters. She has stringy hair and marshmallow cheeks. She is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks.[1][2]
Perfect Peter is Henry's perfect younger brother. He is often referred to as a "worm" by Henry. Peter has a very effeminate attitude, in which he likes flowers, 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!"), 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 to me!" 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 and things that he has not even done. More comically, Peter expects praise for even the most minor things, such as "being normal", using his fork and knife, and asking politely, and often shows off how good he is, particularly when Henry is being reprimanded for his wild misbehaviour.[51]
Peter can also be desperate for praise and attention; he gets his toys out just to tidy them again in "Horrid Henry Joins 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 episodes such as "Horrid Henry's Perfect Day" and "Horrid Henry: Horrid Headmaster". In the latter episode, he records what Henry says when he discovers that he has to fill end of term reports ("No holiday for me, then."), then modifies 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!".
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".[27][28] Peter is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks[1][2] and Emma Tate in the TV series.[10][49][5] In Horrid Henry: Live and Horrid!, he is portrayed by Alex Tregear.[35][6][38] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, he is portrayed by Ross Marron and Alex Larder (body double).

Pimply Paul is Prissy Polly's husband, who lives in a world of self pity and misery. They get married in "Horrid Henry's Wedding", and later have a baby daughter, Vomiting Vera, as shown in "Horrid Henry's Car Journey". "Horrid Henry's Wedding" reveals that his surname is Peregrine. Paul and Henry have a mutual hatred for each other, with Paul calling Henry a "brat" or "brat face" and Henry hating Paul because he is a sourpuss. Despite appearing to be grouchy and cynical, he loves Vera and would do anything for her, and he seems to like Peter as well. He is also genuinely in love with his wife. He later grows to like Henry after Series 3. Paul is revealed to work as a milkman in "Horrid Henry Delivers The Milk". In Series 4, after the events in "Horrid Henry Delivers The Milk", he no longer calls Henry a brat, discovers how much they have in common, and becomes his friend. He is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks[1][2] and Wayne Forester in the TV series.
Polly Penelope (also known as Prissy Polly) is Henry and Peter's older cousin and Pimply Paul's wife. They get married in "Horrid Henry's Wedding", and together they have a daughter, Vomiting Vera. Polly is an emotional, fussy, spoiled, childish, ditzy, nagging young woman who wants everything to be her way all the time and throws it off. She usually appears smiling, giggling hysterically, and is not very bright. Despite her selfish and spoiled ways, she does not mean to behave this way and is sweet-natured, if not the closest thing to an relentless happy-go-lucky optimist. In the TV series, she appears to be much more spoiled and childish and a bit meaner than in the books and also has fits of anger, usually around Henry. Polly and Henry both despise each other because of this. Strangely, even when she is outraged, she appears to be smiling and giggling. When things do not go her way, she would even cry about it. "Horrid Henry's Wedding" reveals that her surname is Penelope, implying that is the rest of Henry's family surname, while she took Paul's surname, Peregrine, after their marriage. In Series 1, she treats Henry badly along with Paul, but from Series 2 onwards she treats him a lot better, possibly because she has matured and may be on cognitive behavioural therapy. She is voiced by Miranda Richardson in the audiobooks[1][2] and Tamsin Heatley in the TV series.[10][5] In Horrid Henry: The Movie, she is portrayed by Kimberley Walsh.

Sid is shown to be a strict, impatient no-nonsense teacher, dismissing Henry's excuses as to why he can't take part in the swimming lesson, and ordering him out of the pool when he misbehaves.
