List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters

This list features the various characters in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books.

Main characters

Gregory "Greg" Heffley

Gregory "Greg" Heffley is the main character, narrator, and the protagonist of the series who faces difficulty in middle school. He is 11 in the first book, 12 in the 2nd and 3rd, turns 13 in the 4th, and will be 13 in the 5th. He is also the "wimpy kid", as each novel in the series is one of his "diaries". He has a good friendship with Rowley Jefferson (up until the 4th book), although Greg often wonders how the two can possibly be friends. Greg's foibles include being underweight, almost always greedy, selfish, and sometimes paranoid. Many of his teachers dislike him because they had his older brother Rodrick as a student, and so these teachers expect Greg to be as bad as his brother. Rowley's father also sees Greg as a bad influence. Greg is bad at school, failing most of his subjects, and he is also lazy, often objecting to his father's attempts to get him to exercise and participate in sports. Greg often attempts to impress girls, including Holly and Heather Hills, but all his attempts fail, and often lead to unfair circumstances. In The Last Straw, Greg is revealed to own a pair of backup glasses, which he rarely uses. Greg is also known for starting the comic Zoo-Wee Mama! with help from Rowley; however, the comic was later plagiarized by Rowley, as he claims that Greg had nothing to do with the creation of the comic. He is also very uncomfortable around Fregley. Greg is portrayed by Zachary Gordon in the movie. Greg may possess a great singing voice, but this is only shown in the first book and he is auditioning to be in the school play and the drama teacher compliments his voice, but any other mention of any good singing abilities Greg may possibly possess is never really mentioned again.

Rowley Jefferson

Rowley Jefferson is Greg's best friend. He has overprotective parents who dislike Greg, thinking that he is a bad influence. Rowley is dumb, and childish according to Greg. Rowley gets a lot of attention from the girls in his grade only because he is "cute", according to Holly Hills. He and Greg have a fight in Dog Days that leaves them not as friends for almost the whole summer. Despite efforts of both boys' parents to bring them closer together, the gulf between the two only worsens, and the ending of Dog Days suggests that Greg may no longer attempt to maintain a friendship with Rowley (leading into the fifth book. Greg is also hoping to share the secret of Rowley eating the Cheese, if Rowley spreads a secret about Greg's embarrassing moment in fifth grade,when he did a handstand in class for a skit,thus slamming his buttocks into the wall, leaving a "butt-print" named "The Heffley Hole". Rowley has shown to have rather strange interests for his age, like shown in Rodrick Rules he likes a singer named "Joshie" and in the same book, DinoBlazer action figures (which are supposed to be toys for young boys). Rowley will appear again in the fifth book, where he is likely to play the obstacle, plus the enemy . He is a replacement for Greg's old friend Ben in the Funbrain version. In the movie, he is played by Robert Capron.

Frank Heffley

Frank Heffley is Greg's father. He is very unpredictable and has a strong interest in U.S. history, especially the Civil War. Frank, so far in the series, is very emotional towards Greg. He is known to be easily bothered by the simplest things and is constantly trying to get Greg to participate in sports and make him more manly. Frank dislikes Rowley, video games, heavy metal music, and teenage delinquents. He is very serious about things, such as when he threatens to send Greg to military school. He is a hard worker, and has a poor relationship with his sons since the three virtually cannot relate to each other at all. Frank is also a junk-food addict, and sometimes steals Greg's lunch snacks, which he (Greg) lives on at lunchtime, which Susan tries to discourage due to Frank's high cholesterol. However, Greg and Frank grow together in Dog Days first after Frank rethinks sending Greg to Spag Union in the end of The Last Straw, but more significantly, when Greg mentions that he and Frank strongly dislike the comic Li'l Cutie. In the movie, he is played by Steve Zahn.

Susan Heffley

Susan Heffley is Greg's mother who is extremely over-reactive, ignorant,overbaring,clueless and annoying. She tries to be a good mother and wife, but she constantly embarrasses Greg and appears to not care. Susan apparently knows very little about children and teenagers of the modern age, who are much naughtier nowadays, and her ignorance often bothers Greg and Rodrick. She constantly tries to get Greg to enjoy reading, to pull the family together, and to help Greg and Frank to accustom themselves to the music of Rodrick's band, but none of her plans ever seem to work. She and her husband pay far more attention to Manny than their other two sons, giving their youngest everything he asks for. Susan humiliates Rodrick on stage in Rodrick Rules, when she is released on the Internet in the "Dancing Mom" video, which leads Rodrick in a deep depression to the point where he hides in the basement, waiting for everything to end. Susan often gets Greg into conflicts, resulting in much chaos and embarrassment. According to book 1 , she allowed Rodrick to start his band and bought his first drum set. In the movie, she is played by Rachael Harris.

Rodrick Heffley

Rodrick is Greg's 16 to 18-year-old brother and is the main antagonist of the series since he often bullies Greg. It is unknown why Rodrick treats Greg in such a poor manner.The best conclusion to this is that Greg took away attention away from him when he(Greg)born. Rodrick is more cruel, lazy, and uneducated than Greg and is a fan of heavy metal, being the drummer in a heavy metal band called Löded Diper. Rodrick tries to humiliate Greg several times. Rodrick is not the smartest member of the Heffley family, since he does not make any sort of effort at school. Evidently, Rodrick enjoys sleeping; at one point in time, his parents forget to wake Rodrick up and thus he sleeps for thirty-six hours straight. Rodrick is the only important character to have always-visible eyebrows, giving the appearance of evil during happiness. Most others only have eyebrows visible when they are mad or annoyed. He also drives a van with his band's name in giant letters. He also owns a heavy metal magazine with a woman in a bikini which his mother does not accept. In the movie, he is played by Devon Bostick.

Manny Heffley

Manny is Greg's 3 to 5-year-old brother and is even more spoiled than Rodrick and Greg combined. Manny is extremely selfish and paranoid, not caring at all for his brothers and panicking when he thinks something might harm him in any way. Manny isn't good at potty training because of Uncle Joe (see his section). When Greg has a sleepover, Manny always interferes, often causing Rowley to go home early. Manny also gets many rights that Greg didn't have when he was his age, such as bringing toys to church to pass the time, which means Frank and Susan treat Manny like he's super-special. Manny has cried in every single book so far. In the books, Manny is an extreme tattletale, including tattling on Greg for stuff Manny saw before he could talk, including telling on Greg for breaking a sliding glass window two years before. In the movie, he is played by twins Connor and Owen Fielding.

Secondary characters

Fregley

Fregley is a very repulsive and widely disrespected student at Greg's school. In Greg's illustrations, Fregley typically wears a black shirt, a scarf (when it's cold), and large glasses, and he is almost always waving, and like Rowley, he is depicted with his mouth open. He is extremely ignorant of how to act around other people and he usually hangs out in his front yard doing various strange things such as stabbing a kite with a stick or attempting to talk to Greg about disgusting and awkward topics such as how his scab smells. Fregley cannot eat sugary foods, as he becomes hyperactive when he does. Greg does not enjoy spending time with him and usually tries to get out of it. Fregley has a made-up language which is only shown in Diary of a Wimpy Kid when he shouts, "Juice, juice!" when he needs to use the restroom. In the movie, Fregley is the 201st most popular kid at his school (past the bottom of the list) and he is sent home once every month for his hygiene. In Dog Days, it is also seen that Fregley still hangs out in his front yard during Summer and Greg notes down "I think his parents must have an electrical fence or something." Greg also has to wrestle Fregley in book 1 though he is replaced by a kid named Stinky in the Funbrain version. In the movie, he is played by Grayson Russell. He has known Greg since kindergarten according to the Funbrain version. In the movie his mother is a seamstress.

Patty Farrell

Patty Farrell is a girl in Greg’s grade who has a "nerd" look and complains whenever anybody "messes up, and makes her look stupid". In the first book, Greg finds a way to cheat on his state capitals test by sitting near the map of the United States, but Patty ruins his plan by telling the teacher to cover the map, causing Greg to fail the test. She plays Dorothy in the school musical The Wizard of Oz, and Greg, who plays a tree, throws apples to get back at her for making him fail the test. Several other characters throw apples at her as well, including the boys who play the other trees and Toto the dog. In Rodrick Rules, she is said to be tap-dancing in the winter talent show. In The Last Straw, when the teacher leaves the room, Patty is left in charge. Greg writes that she is very strict when in control, letting no one out of the classroom, even if a fellow student has to use the bathroom. According to Greg, she can't see two feet in front of her without her glasses. In the movie, Greg has to wrestle her instead of Fregley after gaining 10 pounds, making Greg's popularity quickly drop. In the movie, she is played by Laine MacNeil.

Heather Hills

Heather Hills is Holly Hills's older sister. She is in Rodrick’s grade, and Greg has a huge crush on her. She is also alphabetically put after Rodrick. She was once Rowley's baby-sitter until Rowley's parents switched her with Leland. According to Greg, Heather Hills is the prettiest girl at Crossland High School. Apparently, she is in the same grade as Rodrick, with her yearbook picture being next to his in their sophomore year. Greg always tries to make it to Rowley's house before story time when Heather babysits. Greg is very disappointed when Rowley's parents replaced her with Leland. In Dog Days, she works as a life guard at the town pool, and Greg stands by her whenever she's on duty. Greg thinks she's even prettier than Holly Hills. She expects Greg to clean up vomit in Dog Days, but he says she's a waste of his time. She does not appear in the movie.

Holly Hills

Holly Hills is a girl that Greg has a crush on in The Last Straw and the sister of Heather Hills. According to Greg, he prefers Heather more because she's in high school, because that is a "whole different league than middle school". She first appears in Rodrick Rules, where Greg fails to do a comedy act with her and Rowley when the latter becomes upset that he gets a degrading role in the skit. Holly is the third most popular girl in Greg's grade, and as Greg says, "is the fourth prettiest girl in my class but the top three all have boyfriends". Greg tries to get a good moment with her at the Valentine's Day dance in The Last Straw, but Fregley ruins it by running in between them due to a sugar rush. At the end of the same book, Greg gives up on her because she mistakes him for Fregley, which he takes as an insult.

Chirag Gupta

Chirag Gupta is a minor character and Greg's classmate. He is presumably the shortest person in his class, and according to Greg, he's in the 5% of kids wimpier than Greg. Judging by his name and hairstyle, he is of Indian descent. People often take advantage of his small size with pranks. He does not appear in Dog Days. He has bigger hair in the Funbrain version and saves Greg from getting the Cheese Touch in the movie. He is played by Karan Brar in the movie.

Collin Lee

Collin Lee is Greg's so-called "back-up friend". He is overweight and has a large nose. Despite being Greg's back-up friend, Collin dumped him for Rowley in book 1. In the movie (where he is portrayed by Alex Ferris) he is simply called Collin. He only appears in book 1, but he is mentioned in book 4.

Lenwood Heath

Lenwood Heath only appears in The Last Straw. He previously had long hair, was a bad teen, and was usually Frank Heffley's "archenemy" until his parents send him to Spag Union military school. He reappears later in the same book with short hair and a polite manner, working at a movie theater. He tells Greg's father that he's trying to get good grades at Spag Union so he can get into West Point. Greg's father then starts chatting away with him as if they had never been enemies. This causes Greg's father to choose to send Greg to Spag Union so that Greg will "change his wimpy ways". Lenwood does not appear in the movie.

Alex Aruda

Alex Aruda is one of the smartest people in Greg's school. He has glasses and a large afro. According to Greg, he is smart because his last name begins with an 'A', and the teachers call on the first alphabetical names the most, so these students end up being the smartest. Greg usually copies off Alex's math test when Alex is finished. Despite being intellectually smart, Alex is oblivious to what goes on around him. He puts his test papers on his desk where anybody can read them and he didn't realize that his class had been kept inside for recess for three days until Greg told him. In The Last Straw, Mrs. Craig's dictionary is missing, and it turns out that Alex had taken it to study it, which is fitting to how he is portrayed: nerdy and studious. He does not appear in the movie.

Trista

Trista is a girl that moves to Greg's neighborhood in the final sections of The Last Straw. Not much is known about her except that Greg seems to have a crush on her, based on the final few pages in the book. In Dog Days, she meets a lifeguard at the town pool. Greg says she was a waste of his time.

The Snellas

The Snellas are a family that lives in the Heffleys' neighborhood, and they have a lot of children, all of whom are male and have names beginning with the letter S. Five of the children's names are (from oldest to youngest): Shawn, Shane, Sam, Scott, and Seth. In The Last Straw, it is revealed that each Snella child has a half birthday party in which the adults perform funny stunts, in which no baby has laughed once, according to Greg. Mr. Snella then sends the videos to "America's Funniest Families", a spoof of America's Funniest Home Videos, and has never won anything (though may have, due to Greg's embarrassing moment at the end of The Last Straw). In the Funbrain version their last name is Smeldy.

Scotty Douglas

Scotty is a first grader from Rowley's karate class. He was going to do a magic act in the Talent Show with Rowley as his assistant, but after Greg breaks Rowley's big toe, Greg has to fill in for Rowley. Greg complains about being a magician's assistant to Scotty, but Greg's mother tells Scotty's mother that Greg would be happy to replace Rowley. In the tryouts, their act is so bad they are the only one not to make the auditions. He does not appear in the movie. He has a remarkably similar appearance to Greg's comic character, Creighton The Cretin, except Creighton's eyes are wide open and Scotty's eyes are beady just like all the other characters that don't wear glasses.

Mr. Litch

Mr. Litch is Greg's very tough soccer coach. He was the reason Rodrick never does sports anymore, telling him that he needs a haircut. Greg gets in trouble with Mr. Litch many times since he is lazy and rude. Once, he and the other kids were going to run at him with their butts sticking out (since Mr. Litch usually tells them to "get your butts over here!"), but Greg was the only one to do so, with the others hanging him out to dry. Another time, with Greg in the front and two other kids in the back, one of them honked the car at Mr. Litch and made it look like Greg did it. According to Greg, he is a type of drill sergeant who likes to yell and shout at people a lot. Note that he is called Mr. Keith in the Funbrain version.

Leland

Leland lives next door to Rowley and is his current babysitter. However, in the Do-it-Yourself book, it shows that he lives on pleasant street, near Holly Hills. Leland only appears in Rodrick Rules, when he teaches Greg and Rowley how to play "Magick and Monsters", which is a game based on several real-life games including Dungeons & Dragons. Rodrick later tells Greg that Leland's the "biggest nerd in his school". In the "Winter Talent Show", Leland does a ventriloquist act and wins the grand prize, causing Greg to agree that Leland is a huge nerd. In the online book, Greg states that Leland owns nearly every single video game made.

Mr. Warren

Mr. Warren is Frank's boss. He makes Frank jealous because Mr. Warren has three boys about the same age as Rodrick, Greg, and Manny who love sports. Whenever Frank is riding on his carpool from work, he sees them in their front yard doing many manly things (especially sports).

Sweetheart (Sweetie)

Sweetie is the family puppy who only appears in Dog Days. Susan impulsively gives the dog a female name, not realizing that it is male. Greg wanted to name him "Ripjaw" or "Shredder", Manny wanted to name him an animal name, in Greg's example, Elephant or Zebra. Manny says in Greg's illustration "Zeeb for short!", Rodrick agrees with Manny's animal name idea, saying they could name him Turtle, in Greg's illustration Rodrick says "Turd for short!". However, Sweetie seems happy with the name Sweetie and is very affectionate toward Greg's mom. Frank bought Sweetie after he found out what happened to his own dog when he was younger. Sweetie causes trouble to the family. Sweetie ruins Greg's life along the way, and near the end of Dog Days, he is given to Grandma for company. On his dog bowl, Rodrick spelled his name "Sweaty." He does not appear in the movie, but he also appears in the Funbrain version.

Killer

Killer is Uncle Joe's dog and is so big that two of Uncle Joe's children can ride on him. On Greg's birthday, Killer devours Greg's cake, ruining Greg's birthday. After eating Greg's cake, he pukes them up under the table.

Nutty

Nutty was Greg's father's dog when he was a kid. Grandpa had run over Nutty in the driveway with his car, but tells his son that Nutty had run away to a butterfly farm. On Fathers' Day, he tells Greg's father the truth, thinking that he would find this funny. Instead Greg's father becomes angry and later goes out to buy Sweetie, a new dog.

Rodrick’s fish

After Greg’s birthday, Susan takes Greg, Rodrick, and Manny to the pet store, and Rodrick picks an unidentified fish labeled "Aggressive". The fish is most likely a piranha. Rodrick never feeds (although it was seen eating algae) the fish or cleans its tank. Susan moves Rodrick's fish in with Greg's fish after seeing its disgusting, unsanitary living conditions. When they return from the water park, Greg finds that Rodrick's fish ate his own on Father's Day.

Greg's fish

Greg picks out an angelfish when his mother takes the boys to a pet shop in Dog Days. Later, Greg's fish is eaten by Rodrick's fish when his mother puts Rodrick's fish in the same fish bowl as Greg's fish.

The Muddy Hand

The Muddy Hand is a disembodied hand made of mud that appears in one of Rodrick's horror movies entitled "Hello, You're Dead". It is a possible parody of The Hand. In it, the Muddy Hand travels the countryside looking for victims to strangle, and the last person who sees it is always the next victim. The film freaks Greg out when at the end, the Muddy Hand strangles its last victim and walks straight at the screen, implying that the viewer was its next victim. This makes Greg and Rowley paranoid that the Muddy Hand is out to get them. It was only mentioned in "Dog Days", where it played an important role. Greg once played a prank to make Rowley think the Muddy Hand came in.

Greg's relatives

Gramma

Greg's maternal grandmother seems to favor Manny the best, since she has photographs of him all around the house though she constantly denies this fact by saying "I love all my grandchildren the same". One time when Greg was six, Grandma would not let him have ice cream before dinner, so he wrote her a note saying "I hate you, Gramma" which Grandma placed on the wall and held over Greg's head ever since. Greg still spells Grandma "Gramma" today. She appears in The Last Straw when Greg tries to 'escape' dad (because he got bad report cards) and follows Gramma to a Bingo game. She appears again in Dog Days when Greg and Rowley are trying to run a lawn service. She lives on the same street as Greg and Rowley's first customer and is imitated by Greg for their references. She also loves reading tabloids (which when Susan calls her and she doesn't pick up the phone, making Susan rush to her place to check on her, but she tells Susan that "Cordless telephones erase the memory of the elderly." because she believed an article in the New York Times, a trait she enjoys sharing with Greg.

Grandpa

Greg's grandfather first appeared in Rodrick Rules in which he was revealed to be living in Leisure Towers, an old folks home. He has a TV, but he always has it tuned over to the retirement home's security camera in the main lobby. He makes a meal he calls "watercress salad" which consists of cucumbers and cold green beans in a pool of vinegar which Greg thinks is gross. He always plays a game with his grandsons called "Gutbusters" where one player reads old jokes and comparative metaphors from a card, and whoever goes the longest without laughing wins, and Greg always beats Grandpa and Rodrick, the latter of whom always loses that game on purpose when it's Greg's turn so he can spit out a whole mouthful of milk when he laughs. According to him, Greg is his favorite grandson. He appears again in Dog Days when Greg's family visit to his house for Father's Day brunch. He admits that he ran over Nutty, Frank and Joe's dog, and always told Frank that Nutty ran away to a butterfly farm (in the online version, Nutty is a cat that froze because Grandpa accidentally left him outside. Also in the Do-It-Yourself book, Nutty the cat freezing outside is a comic, in which different characters appear). He had to pay for brunch when Frank left. Then Frank dropped the rest at the driveway and drove away. He came back later with a box, and there was a dog, Sweetie, inside.

Uncle Joe

Frank's little brother, with whom Uncle Joe has a sibling rivalry with him. When Manny started potty training, Uncle Joe insisted that there was a "potty monster" about to get him, causing Manny to fear using the bathroom, so that meant Frank had to change his diapers for a longer time. Also, Uncle Joe's children call their uncle "Aunt Fwank", which Frank swears he told them to do on purpose, but Susan thinks it's cute. In Dog Days Greg mentions that he tried to make Uncle Joe to convince Frank to get a dog, but that did not work out. He also mentions that his dog, Killer ate most of Greg's birthday cake. There's a chance his real name is Joseph.

Uncle Charlie

Greg's uncle Charlie is described by Greg as being able to get him anything he wants for Christmas or his birthday. Ironically, the few times throughout the series that Uncle Charlie brought Greg gifts, he is only disappointed by what he brings. A few examples are a picture of him, a "Laundry Hoop", and Wonder Woman Underoos. In Dog Days, it's said that he has a recliner which he practically lives in. Note that Uncle Charlie looks just like Grandpa

Rowley's family

Robert Jefferson

Robert Jefferson is Rowley's father. He is a lot more shrill, temperamental, rude, irritable and strict than Frank, and is a rich businessman. He won't let Greg or Rowley play any violent video games, and in Diary of a Wimpy Kid he does not believe them about their haunted house. In Dog Days, it is revealed that his first name is Robert. Also in Dog Days, it was shown that Mr. Jefferson had a close bond with Rowley when Greg wrote "Me and Dad might not have one of those close father-son relationships, but that's fine by me. I've learned there's such a thing as TOO close." He shows little interest in sports until in Dog Days, where he is found playing tennis with Rowley and golf with a caddy. Greg doesn't like Rowley's father, and he explains it profoundly in his journal. For example, when Greg had some complaints about the "quality of service" (such as the temperature in the sauna and about the drinks) for solving to Rowley's father, Greg is kicked out forever, showing that Mr. Jefferson is rude. Mr. Jefferson, overall, is regarded as a controversial figure in the book. His actual profession is unknown, but Greg writes "I think he is an architect or something." Openly showing his rivalry with Rowley's father, Greg parodies a movie he watched with Rowley about kids making a language that adults do not understand, and makes up his own language. In front of Rowley's father, Greg says in his language: "Your-pa Dad-pa smells-pa like-pa a woman-pa!" Greg is then forced to go home, and Greg questions how Rowley's father cracked his code.

Mrs. Jefferson

Mrs. Jefferson seems to often be concerned about Rowley such as when he broke his big toe after Greg put one of Frank's dumbbells under a pillow that Rowley kept kicking at Greg's sleepover. She also had Greg apologize to her for what he did to her son. Much like her husband, she is implied to dislike Greg (Greg's actions in Dog Days shows that the feeling is mutual). Before this, Mrs. Jefferson has always enjoyed Greg's company with Rowley. Her first name is hinted to be Linda in the Funbrain version.

Rowley's grandfather

Rowley's grandfather is only shown once in Rodrick Rules when he was having his birthday party. He says that he wants a chocolate cake for his next birthday, to which Greg replies that he could have one if he were still alive by then. This statement angers Mr. Jefferson.

Greg's teachers

Mrs. Craig

Mrs. Craig is one of Greg's teachers, yet exactly what she teaches remains unknown. She appears several times throughout the series. Her first appearance is in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. In this book she catches Greg and Rowley with a CD player, and thinking that they were actually listening to music, she scolds them, saying that modern music would destroy their brains. Mrs. Craig makes another appearance in The Last Straw, when the large dictionary that she keeps on her desk goes missing and she does not let the class go outside until the dictionary is returned. It turns out that Alex Aruda had been studying it the whole time and was oblivious to Mrs. Craig wanting it back. Corey Lamb, who is sick of staying inside, takes it from Alex to put it back on Mrs. Craig's desk, but Mrs. Craig sees him do so and thinks he was the one who stole it in the first place. She punishes him by making him stay inside for three weeks instead of going to recess. She could be teaching English, as the dictionary in The Last Straw might hint this.

Mr. Roy

Mr. Roy is Greg's vice-principal who only appears in the first two books of the series. He is sentimental, giving a pat on the back and a lollipop to those who had to see him for misbehavior after he is done lecturing them. Greg has been to see him twice: first because of the "Invisible Chirag" joke and second for getting into trouble for "sporting gang colors". When Greg is campaigning to become treasurer in his school government, Mr. Roy takes down the campaign posters that Greg makes against his opponent Marty Porter because they are "fabrications".

Mr. Ray

Mr. Ray is the detention moderator. In The Last Straw, he doesn't let the students do anything in detention except sit and wait for the end. When Mr. Ray catches Leon Ricket flicking Greg's ear, he tells Leon that he will be in big trouble if he sees him doing anything bothersome again. Then Greg fools Mr. Ray into thinking that Leon hit him; Leon is given an extra day of detention and has to stay an extra thirty minutes that day.

Mr. Ira

Mr. Ira is the leader of the comics section of the school paper. During Greg Heffley's Creighton The Cretin's only day, Mr. Ira says that he made some "minor" changes to the strip. In reality, he changed the whole thing, causing everyone to think Greg is a teacher's pet and ruining Greg's plans of becoming a celebrity through his comics.

Mr. Winsky

Mr. Winsky is the Safety Patrol teacher. His first name is Bertrand. According to close-ups in The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary, he was once a Safety Patrol regular. In the movie, he is played by Rob LaBelle.

Mr. Underwood

Mr. Underwood is Greg's gym teacher. He only appears in Book 1 where he taught the kids about wrestling and Book 3. He does not appear in the film, but is instead replaced by Coach Malone (see below). Mr. Underwood also takes Phys Ed grades during the Valentine's Day dance in The Last Straw.

Characters in the Funbrain version

Lori Matthews

Lori is apparently Piper's older sister. She is very similar to Heather Hills. Greg describes as the prettiest of the Matthew girls. She is Rowley's babysitter and always tells him a story on the couch in story time but Greg's always comes and sits on the couch with her instead of Rowley. Leland replaced her because Rowley's parents caught her smoking by their house.

Piper Matthews

Piper is the character that Holly Hills is based on. She does many of the things as Holly does in The Last Straw. For example, she is at the roller skating rink, and is the girl that Greg has a crush on. Unlike Holly, she comes from a large family of only girls, while ther are only two members revealed in the books. Another example is that she goes to a different school, Greg only knows her by church, and she also has a boyfriend, as shown at the Couples Dance at the roller skating rink. She has a sister named Lori who is similar to Heather Hills.

Kenny Keith

Kenny is the son of Mr. Keith, Greg's soccer coach on the online version. It is shown that he holds a grudge against Greg for blowing the big soccer match. He might be on the swim team since Greg said half of the soccer team was on swim team. When Greg is in detention he sits in front of Kenny who flicks him, spits on him, and giving him wet willies. After that he got two more weeks of detention. He also gets revenge on Greg by pushing him in a slush puddle. He is in the book but he isn't the coach's son and he gets Greg in trouble in the book.

Benjamin "Ben"

Ben is Greg's former best friend. He goes to school with Piper Mattews. He apparently moved to Piscataway. When Greg and Ben were around they were the comedy duo. Even in church when "Peace to be with you" came up Greg and Ben said "Peas be with you". Once Ben even brought peas to church. Rowley is a replacement for Ben.

Mr. Swann

He is a resident who is possibly friends with Greg's dad. He is very similar to Mr. Warren. He is similar by having 3 athletic children the same ages as the Heffley boys. Greg's dad carpools by their house and always sees the three kids playing sports or working out in the front yard. He is the reason that Greg's dad wants to send him to Bishop Garrigan High School since Mr. Swann said he has a son named Dan who goes to the high school. He says it makes men out of boys.

Stinky Williams

Stinky Williams is an underweight kid in Greg's grade. He is very smelly and stinky, hence his name and is so smelly that he made Greg's singlet and possibly Greg smell. Because of this Greg says he is one of those kids who live up to their name. He replaces Fregley in the wresling unit as he wrestles Greg instead.

Mr. Peters

Mr. Peters is the botany teacher at Greg's school. After Greg is kicked out of independent study he goes to his class for third period. Rodrick used to have him as his botany teacher but always fell asleep in his class. The reason is that Mr. Peters talks slow and quiet so Rodrick can't stop himself from zonking out. Greg's dad apparently had Mr. Peters (who fell asleep in his class too) possibly meaning he is very old. Greg has also fallen asleep in his class too. He always singles Greg out of class to answer questions. Greg says hes like one of those hypnotizing snakes. Mr. Peters finally caught Greg and sent him to the front but it backfired since Greg slept in peace.

Aunt Cakey

Aunt Cakey is Greg's aunt who hates kids. She is also immune to Manny's act. Greg thinks he might be responsible for Cakey hating children since he touched the iron after Cakey told him not to. She has no toys except one huge block of Lego pieces that she glued together. She is also Greg's mom's sister. It is unknown if she comes to the Heffley's house for Christmas since she is not seen or mentioned during Christmas.

Characters in the film

Angie Steadman

Angie Steadman is a character created for the film (who was absent in the books) who hates middle school like Greg (i.e. she remarks "this place (middle school) is an intellectual wasteland") and tries to guide him through his sixth grade year.
