Horrid Henry is a long-running book series by the American-born British author Francesca Simon that began in 1994 and still continues to this day.note Sort of. After the 24th book's publication, there was a four-year space—the biggest in the entirety of the book series. Incidentally, book 25 coincided with the series' 25th anniversary, making it ambiguous to whether the series is over for good.Each book contains four stories that gave the reader an insight into the life of a mischievous and rowdy primary school student called Henry and his antics in school and at home. There are occasional Day in the Limelight chapters in which a story is told about another character; this was usually about Henry's younger brother Perfect Peter, who is the complete opposite of him and implied to be the favourite child of their parents.The book series became really popular in the Turn of the Millennium and spawned an animated TV series in 2006 (which ran until 2019) that mostly adapted some of the short stories into ten-minute episodes, before making episodes of its own in The New '10s after they ran out of stories to adapt.This was then followed by a live-action 2011 movie adaption named Horrid Henry: The Movie in which it was up to Henry and his friends to save the school from being in the hands of a cruel private school principal.You can catch up on the new Horrid Henry projects on the official website. Not to be confused with Horrible Harry.

In the story "Horrid Henry's Revenge", Henry convinces Peter that there were fairies living in the garden that only came out at night. When Peter is distracted, Henry sneaks inside and locks him out, pretending to be asleep in his bed as Peter cried for Mum and Dad, failing to convince them that he'd been tricked by his brother. Unfortunately for Henry, he hadn't realised he was covered in leaves and twigs, but in the morning when Mum went to do laundry, she noticed...

Eyes Always Shut: In "Horrid Henry Reads a Book", Henry decides to make up various "Happy Nappy" stories for the competition to write the most book reports, saying that Miss Battle-Axe can't have read all the books in the world. He makes up stories about Happy Nappies in various places around the world such as Happy Nappies in Germany, Paris, New York, Japan, Australia, and Canada. The Japanese Happy Nappy just happens to have closed eyes.

Adapted Out
 Horrid Henry / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: A lot of Henry's named classmates don't appear outside the books. One can infer it's because the ones who do have distinct personalities similar to archetypes that frequently appear in children's media (Beefy Bert, Aerobic Al, Weepy William, Moody Margaret and Sour Susan, Brainy Brian, to name a few), whereas the rest are either similar (notably Tough Toby and Kung-Fu Kate)note Toby is a smarter Bert, whereas Kate is a female and more aggressive Al. or harder to define (i.e. is "Inky" Ian always covered in ink, and if so, how much?).

No Fourth Wall: The animated series just completely throws the fourth wall away, with Henry and the other characters constantly addressing and explaining things to the audience. Also broken in the movie, but not as much as the series.

Game Show Appearance: In one story, Henry and Ralph appeared on a wacky kids' game show, provided they brought Peter along, much to their annoyance. Fake game show 2Cool4School features in the film version, which also appears in two episodes of Series 3 of the TV series. Strangely, only the opening sequence is shown on both occasions.

Adaptation Personality Change
 Horrid Henry / int_6fbe85e6
comment
Adaptation Personality Change: In the books, Sour Susan was more miserable and apathetic, and a Deadpan Snarker to Margaret and other people's antics, which is completely different to other adaptations, which turn her into The Dragon to Margaret's Big Bad, repeating her insults like a parrot. For much of the stories, Henry has Ralph as his closest and only friend, whereas everyone else in the class flitted between acquaintances or enemies. Yet other adaptations added more to their two-man team, mostly boys Henry originally wouldn't want to share a room with (noted in the story where Henry struggled to chose who should come to his birthday party) like Beefy Bert and Aerobic Al.

The Dreaded "Thank You" Letter: In one book, it's revealed that Henry hates writing thank you letters because he's both lazy and selfish. When he realises other children also hate writing thank you letters, he decides to make money out of writing their thank you letters for them. However, Henry can't be bothered writing individual letters, so he just types one letter with delete-as-appropriate phrases, none of which are particularly special or polite, including starting the letter with "Dear Sir or Madam", then copies it. This gets all the kids in trouble, including Henry himself, who used the same letter.

Adaptation Dye-Job
 Horrid Henry / int_a4414a05
comment
Adaptation Dye-Job: Some cases are the result of Depending on the Artist. Henry's jumper was sometimes coloured as yellow with a light-blue stripe across the abdomen. Weirdly, it occured in special omnibus books with coloured pictures, despite the front cover showing his jumper as light-blue with a yellow stripe across the abdomen. Since the official books have no coloured illustrations, the latter design choice is the most known and is carried through the franchise. Margaret's hair colour occasionally went from brunette to dark magenta on official artwork. The franchise chose the latter as her definitive hair colour.

Karma Houdini: Zig-zagged with Henry, who mostly got caught due to his arrogance. Margaret got away with misbehaviour a lot, especially if she was feuding with Henry.

Adults Are Useless: Henry is the scapegoat of the family (even if he is being rightfully punished), which leads to him acting out in vengeance. The head-teacher of Henry and Peter's school is named Ms Oddbod, so she may have questionable tendencies.

Loose Tooth Episode: In "Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy", Henry feels left out because the only one in his class who hasn't lost any teeth yet, so he unsuccessfully tries to fool the tooth fairy into thinking he's lost a tooth. At the end, his mother hands him an apple and he swallows one of his teeth by accident.

In the books, Sour Susan was more miserable and apathetic, and a Deadpan Snarker to Margaret and other people's antics, which is completely different to other adaptations, which turn her into The Dragon to Margaret's Big Bad, repeating her insults like a parrot.

Dysfunctional Family
 Horrid Henry / int_b6cc7fc0
comment
Dysfunctional Family: Henry is a horrible brat, but his family is pretty messed up too. Perfect Peter is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who likes to get Henry in trouble for every little thing and expects praise for even the most minor things such as using a fork or “being normal.� Henry’s parents are so ashamed of Henry, that they try to stay as far away from him as possible when they go out in public, pretend he isn’t their son, and even argue over who’s turn it is to take care of him. Henry seems to have gotten some of his horridness from his father, Silly Simon, and Peter has gotten his whinging from their Fussy Uncle Francis. It doesn’t help that Simon sometimes agrees with or helps Henry with his brilliant plans. Henry’s mother always blames Henry when something bad happens, even if Peter literally confesses to doing it. There’s also Rich Aunt Ruby and Stuck-Up Steven, who always feel the need to gloat about their wealth and put their relatives down because of it. Great Aunt Greta is very senile and as a result, always mistakes Henry for a little three-year-old girl named “Henrietta�, and Peter for a teenager, no matter how many times they tell her otherwise. Whenever she sends presents, Peter gets banknotes that he either saves or never uses, and Henry gets pink baby clothes. Prissy Polly and Pimply Paul have a very rocky and complicated marriage. Polly is a bossy nag who expects everything to be her way, never thinking about how others might feel and Paul is an honest and hardworking guy, but he is a frequent victim of oppression from everyone (even his own wife). It doesn’t help that Henry deliberately ruined their wedding. Paul once bought a power-drill to give Polly as a Christmas present, despite her heavily implying she didn't know what to do with it nor that she ever wanted it. He then added he'll going to buy her the attachments for her next birthday. Vomitting Vera barfs constantly and not always because of something she ate. Henry’s grandparents seem to be the Token Good Teammates in the family.

When Mum's boss and his wife had dinner at Henry's house, Henry sneaks down the stairs and catches Peter playing the cello for the adults when he'd been sent to bed early, so he gate-crashes and attempts to show off too, demonstrating what he'd been learning in karate class by attacking Mum's guests.

Refuge in Audacity
 Horrid Henry / int_d45c0b86
comment
Refuge in Audacity: The stories can go to this point. Whenever Vera vomits. It's never the result of what she's eaten. In protest of sharing a bath together, Peter and Henry's tampering with the bathwater ends with them flooding the house. When Mum's boss and his wife had dinner at Henry's house, Henry sneaks down the stairs and catches Peter playing the cello for the adults when he'd been sent to bed early, so he gate-crashes and attempts to show off too, demonstrating what he'd been learning in karate class by attacking Mum's guests. Henry's class had to do a presentation for Elizabeth II when she visited the school involving them stomping in basins of mud. A bored Henry picks fights with everyone in the class, sending a tidal wave of mud that covers the Queen, Miss Battle-Axe and Ms. Oddbod like gunge. All the Queen can say is, "How lovely." When the family went on vacation to France, they travel with the car by ferry. Peter and Henry spend most of the journey across the English Channel either ordering room service or being hyperactive and then they vomit on their parents when they get seasick.
