![]() Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman): Rhymes with “drew park.” As head gamemaker, Plutarch drew plans for all the parks in the arena.Ĭommander Thread (Patrick St. ![]() And back in those early days of TV, reception was really bad your screen would really “flicker, man.” Back in the 1950s, everyone tuned in for Your Show of Shows … hosted by Sid Caesar. You know what else is sweet? Cinnabon.Ĭaesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci): He’s the host of The Hunger Games, a show that everyone in Panem watches. Primrose Everdeen (Willow Shields): Primrose rhymes with “grim Snow’s,” as in “grim President Snow’s going to kill Katniss’s little sister Primrose if Katniss doesn’t get better at pretending she’s in love with Peeta.”Įffie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks): Think “F’ing Trinket,” like “that fancy lady escorting Katniss around sure wears a lot of f’ing trinkets.”Ĭinna (Lenny Kravitz): Katniss’s stylist is really sweet to her. President Snow (Donald Sutherland): Snow is white and so is President’s Snow’s hair. Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson): Rhymes with “lay ditch,” because drunk Haymitch is likely to lay down in a ditch.

And there’s too much going on in the film to waste your time being distracted by questions like, “What’s that announcer’s name again? And who is this ‘Enobaria’ they keep talking about?” So to help you tell Primrose from Plutarch, we came up with simple mnemonics for all the major characters (including Katniss, just to cover all bases) to make it easy to remember who is who. In the year and a half since The Hunger Games came out (and even longer since you may have read the books), it’s easy to get foggy trying to remember all the names of the characters for the sequel, Catching Fire, which opens Friday.
