General Information[]
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie[]

His job is to illustrate the adventures that his best friend George writes.
Personality[]
Harold Hutchins loves to pull pranks. Harold's other hobbies are skateboarding, watching TV and making comic books with George, which he draws the pictures for.
When his dad left the family when he was 6 years old and his sister Heidi was 2, he became shy and insecure.
Physical Appearance[]

He has black eyes just like most of the human characters.
Trivia[]
- He has a younger sister named Heidi, who appears only twice (in the eighth and twelfth books).
- Harold dislikes wearing ties, which he was obliged to wear for Miss. Ribble and Mr. Krupp's wedding day in the fifth novel.
- According to Dav Pilkey, he was named after Harold and the Purple Crayon.
- He and George, as well as the book series' author, Dav Pilkey, have ADHD.
- Dolphins are his favorite creatures in the film.
- Only he, George, Mr. Krupp and Captain Underpants appear in every episode of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.
- Harold is gay, as revealed in the twelfth book in the chapters when he and George time travel to the future and meet their future selves. Harold was married to a Japanese man named Billy, but George was married to a lady named Lisa.
- While all counterparts of George and Harold are portrayed as mischievous pranksters, the film portrays them as more noble; playing pranks on teachers and teachers to make school life more bearable for them and their classmates. Their book counterparts pull pranks and make jokes at everyone's expense, and usually only they end up laughing.
- In the animated film adaptation, they’re still pranksters, but they get more heroic moments compared to their book counterparts. While they were still heroic and likable in the books, they tend to create humor to brighten other people's days rather than use it for their own amusement. This leads to a plot in the movie that’s almost absent in the books, George and Harold decide to be nicer to Mr. Krupp because he has no one to be with him. This never happens in the books, where Krupp remains a fairly two-dimensional villain.
- This also applies to animated series, where they’re not only kind and cooperative with their friends and classmates. Not to mention they willingly go to Krupp's office knowing it would result in their expulsion from Jerome Horwitz to return his rulebook. The reason is they know his job is the only thing that makes him happy in life and taking that away is the wrong thing to do.
- He was inspired by Petey the Cat's backstory, as both had their father leave them when they were younger.
- Coincidentally, both of their mothers are named Grace.
