Horrid Henry

Horrid Henry is the main character of the series of the same name and he is portrayed as a determined and relentless young boy. He believes that life is unfair as the rest of the world is against him, so he fights "against the tyranny of adults". He is resistant to defeat as teachers, relatives and babysitters in the series try their best to avoid him. Even his parents argue over whose turn it is to look after him.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is funny most of the time. Like for example, he tends to pull troublesome but hilarious pranks on people just for fun.
 * 2) He most of the time has a point that his parents never do anything he says and Peter does everything.
 * 3) * Heck, his Mum is so lazy she even makes him wrap HIS Christmas presents. Now that's not fair, is it?
 * 4) His insults for Peter, "Worm" and "Smelly Nappy Baby", are really intelligent and funny.
 * 5) He knows how to backfire his younger brother Perfect Peter who is extremely annoying, despite the latter always tattletaling on him just for that.
 * 6) He knows how to fight his horrible, moody neighbor Moody Margaret, even if he ends up losing to her at times.
 * 7) He is more likable than any other character in the show even though he is known as the most horrid kid in his town.
 * 8) He has the ability to speak out for those who are doing unfair things against him.
 * 9) Despite his horridness, he does somewhat love and care about his family, as he once saved Peter from getting crushed by a bookcase.
 * 10) He is aware that he needs to have as much fun and experience as he can while he is still a kid, which ain't easy considering the circumstances he repeatedly gets stuck in.
 * 11) He's pretty musically talented, and this is shown when he plays the drums in the Killer Boy Rats performance and in the movie where he wins the talent show with his band Zero Zombies.
 * 12) Lizzie Waterworth did an amazing job voicing him. Theo Stevenson's portrayal in the movie was tolerable, despite not being 100% accurate.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be a selfish, sociopathic, rude and somewhat evil minded kid who would cross any limit in order to get his way and wouldn't care about anyone else, though this is somewhat justified since his parents don't give him a lot of attention.
 * 2) He dreams of becoming a king and when it happens, he claims he'll execute or banish anyone or anything he hates.
 * 3) At times he can be a bit unlikable, like hating the opposite gender just like Moody Margaret does, or when his horridness can get a bit too rough, like when he strapped his brother to a tree when he was younger, refusing to take turns, playing with his things without permission, selling him into slavery, ruining his cousins wedding, getting himself and his family banned from the supermarket. Those are one of the only times he DOES deserve to get punished.
 * 4) His catchphrase "NOOOOOOO!" can be pretty annoying.
