Top 10 Diary of a Wimpy Kid Characters
Greg Heffley is the main character and narrator of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series written by Jeff Kinney. He lives with his two brothers, Rodrick and Manny Heffley, and his parents, Susan and Frank Heffley. He's the classic protagonist, so of course, he is number 1! My drawings always consist of the doodles featured in this series, and my favorite is Greg. He can be a mean jerk sometimes, but he's still hilarious and awesome!
Greg is a bit of a jerk. But if you think about it for a while, he goes through a lot. For example, his family mistreats him, and he often gets bullied by jocks at his school.
He's the best character ever! Even though he acted rude and arrogant, he had trouble at school and home. He gets bullied by Rodrick a lot, and the bratty, ugly Manny always gets him in trouble.
He is the best. In the movies, he picks on Greg and makes him miserable, but he makes up for it every time. The reason I've stopped watching the movies and kind of stopped reading the books is because they hardly include Rodrick. Devon Bostick portrayed him perfectly, and nobody has a chance of taking Rodrick's number one spot... except maybe Frank.
Rodrick is better in the books than in the movies because he is always tormenting Greg. In Book 2, Rodrick Rules, he stole Greg's journal, which I liked. He is in every book at some point, and he is a great character. He is funny, and I hope he gets a big part in Book 13.
Rowley should be No. 1. I found him annoying in the book and took credit for a lot of Greg's ideas, but I love him in the movies because he is a little fatty. My favorite part was when he sat on the spiked ball Manny gave Greg in Rodrick Rules, while wearing undies on his head.
He's enjoyable to read. His book character is great, especially in the earlier books. He's a little underused in the newer books.
However, I hate his interpretation in the movies. They make him more restricted and childish.
Easily one of the best in the books and the movies. He's so stupid that it's funny. He acts crazy, but he gives Greg some tips on how to act like a decent human being. The way he's obsessed with little things like his Civil War figurines is hilarious. Overall, a great character.
I really like Frank as a character because it's hilarious when you see him trying to interact with the kids or always ending up screwing something up!
Top five Frank Heffley Moments:
5. FPOO!
4. Greg: DUCK! DUCK! Frank: Where? Where? *Branch right in front of him*
3. Friend = Good!
2. Mom says I need to hug you guys...
1. Let's you and me have a talk... FRIEND.
She is kind and caring. For example, in The Long Haul, she offered to switch places with Greg.
More well-rounded character in the movies than in the books. This could be said of Frank as well.
This woman's got a bunch of nerve and explaining to do.
Holly Hills was a nice character, but in the books, she had no personality at all and was a bit boring. However, in the movies, she was kind to Greg and helped him a lot.
I really didn't know whether I should've voted for her or not, but I chose to do it. In the books, she doesn't do that much, and I couldn't care less about her, but the movies save her.
The way she is so nice to Greg, even when he is a total weirdo, just blows my mind. I would've put a restraining order on that dude.
I wish she was higher. In the movies, she's so sweet! I wish she and Greg ended up together.
Ok, here we go. I'm one of those people that write long responses, so be prepared. Grandpa is just the most iconic and quirky character in the books, although I did not enjoy him in the movies. I don't think they portrayed him right. It may just be me, but in the movies, he just seems a little off.
But he makes up for it in the books. He is very old-fashioned in the way he does things and brings you into Greg's perspective of his grandfather. It makes you wonder if grandpas are as silly as he seems.
Grandpa was trash in the movies. Nothing fun about him. The books are the only reason I voted for this guy. He has a sense of humor and does really stupid things. I kind of like him but he was ruined in the movies. #notmygrandpa
Many people hate him, but he is my favorite! In "The Last Straw," Greg never states that Manny swears on purpose, and he might be unaware that he made his family suffer. He saved his family three times and is SOOO adorable.
He is the smartest Diary of a Wimpy Kid character. Let me explain.
In Rodrick Rules, he stuffs a cookie into Greg's video games and gets away with it by saying, "I'm onwy thwee." In The Last Straw, he climbs a tree that goes higher than a house to get a present. In Dog Days, he has all these imaginary friends and tricks his mother into letting him drop plates, go halfway across town, get more dessert, and even orders them to mess with Greg's towels!
In Cabin Fever, he messes with the breakers to make his family suffer and gets away with it by saying no one taught him to tie his shoes. In Hard Luck, he figures out his mom's scheme and gets ten rexes, and also steps on Squirm the Worm! In The Long Haul, he guesses the exact weight of a pig and speaks fluent Spanish.
In The Getaway, he doesn't want to go to camp that exempts only potty-trained children, so he pees on the floor and opens a coded locked suitcase. In The Meltdown, he makes snow steps to escape his backyard! In Wrecking Ball, he makes a mansion from just toy building tools and wood scraps! And in Big Shot, he pole vaults to reach the trash can and climbs a basketball hoop to get a slam dunk!
Very nice character. He is very friendly, funny, and nice. Please make him Greg's friend.
He is the weirdest character in the USA. And I like reading about weird characters.
It's not really all her fault. She's not all that bad. It's really Greg's fault for insulting her enormously back then during "kindergarten and fourth grade," as she mentioned in the first film with that insulting rhyme.
She is a rule-follower, which I like.
I love her attitude and how interesting she is and how evil she can be.
Chirag isn't the most interesting character in the books, but he's a great character in the movies. The invisible Chirag joke really boosted his popularity with fans, and the way he got Greg back was actually kind of funny. Overall, he's good in the movies and thrown away in the books.
I loved his character and think he's super underrated. He should've been in the movies and books more.
A minor character in the books, Chirag's character brings charm and charisma in the movies.
He's really funny, and the pig is about as smart as Manny. I just wanted to vote for this one. I guess there's just something about him.
The pig was WAY better than Manny. Plus, it's not really the pig's fault when it does something wrong. It's a pig, for God's sake. Also, the pig was a comic relief character.
It's just a farm animal that Manny loves, but Manny goes to such lengths that he literally puts everyone in front of the pig.
She's the best and funniest old lady I have ever seen.
Creepy and cool. I was hoping he was real, but he is still a cool urban legend made by Frank (Greg's dad).
Frank was seriously clever as heck for this.
The second most relatable character (besides Rodrick). Frank doesn't like him, and that's not a surprise. He's a careless idiot, and that's what makes him funny. I wish we could've seen him in the movies. What a movie that would've been.
What can I say? It's a dog. A freaking dog. Just look at it. The movies make it suck, but I still love it.
Weird that this one was on here. Not gonna lie, I kind of like him though. He might look creepy, but he does try to help Greg get new friends and even tries to be his friend. Kind of a cool guy.
Literally, he looks like a burglar!
