This article contains information on characters, places, items or events which take place in the Horrid Henry series of books by Francesca Simon.

🔀 This is the page for Margaret's book counterpart, click here for her TV series counterpart.

Moody Margaret is Horrid Henry's next-door neighbour and arch-enemy. She is also the leader of The Secret Club.

Description[]

Margaret has brown hair, pale skin, a pointy nose, a pointy chin and rosy cheeks. She is 4 foot 10 inches tall. She wears a grey jacket with a purple and pink striped shirt beneath, and a purple skirt.

Personality[]

Described by Henry as a moody old grouch, Margaret is very bossy and domineering. She wants everything her own way, and has a tendency to scream if she does not get what she wants, as shown in "Moody Margaret Moves In", when Mum refuses to serve her breakfast at 6am.

Trivia[]

  • Margaret was originally going to be a boy called Moody Martin, but Francesca Simon's husband didn't approve, believing that the character was too much like Horrid Henry, and therefore, Martin became a girl called Margaret.
  • It is said that no-one can scream as loud, as long, or as piercingly as Moody Margaret.
  • She is the best footballer in the class, as mentioned in "Horrid Henry and the Football Fiend". It’s also stated that she is Captain of the school Football team in "Horrid Henry's Newspaper".
