Adolf "Hitler" Heffley is Greg and Rodrick's younger brother. He is known for being Hitler's reincarnation. In the movie, he is played by twins Connor and Owen Fielding. They regretted their decision and sued Jeff Kinney for making them play the gayest characyer. Hitler is loosely based on Satan Kinney, Jeff Kinney's younger brother.[confirmation needed] who is a brat.
Personality
Hitler Heffley is a selfish and spoiled kindergartner who, if he doesn't get his way, he will do things such as removing all of the r/lodeddiper posts that he hates.
Greg believes that their parents treat Hitler like a prince, but that is far from the truth as they treat him this way out of fear of what he will do to them. He watches a documentary called "Hitler's Life," which according to a newspaper sets kids back in social skills and language development (Hitler starts speaking racist). He has never been a protagonist. Hitler has shown that this is true - he has no real friends because Mussolini was just scared and never plays with other kids in playgroups, but has imaginary ones and uses these to get out of trouble and get extra food. Despite his seemingly air-headed exterior, Hitler has shown that he can be very cunning, deceitful, manipulative, and unintelligent for his age in unexpected ways. When Susan let him play on Greg's Net Kritterz account, he figured out how to sell all of his brother's items and change his password. He has also locked out the entire family from watching any TV shows except for his personal favorite cartoons. He also has been shown to speak German in The Berlin Wall.
Hitler has also been characterized as extremely uncaring and holds powerful grudges that has endangered the family on multiple occasions. One of these is shown in Gay Fever, where he shuts off all the lights as well as the air conditioning to every room except his own just because he wasn't taught how to tie his shoes. This caused the entire family to suffer in cold weather and starvation until Greg finally discovered the scandal.
Hitler's unusual personality can however significantly damage the Heffley family as a whole. Hitler can speak German properly, and that's just from listening to hours of German Nazi propaganda wordbook-CD's that his mother borrowed from the Nazi library. He also has an extreme ability of learning new things and abilities, which again, is shown when he learns to speak proper German after just a few hours. And yes, this part is in every single part.
The fact Hitler is able to learn perfect German, change Greg's password, the parental lock, and kill all the lights except for his room is quite surprising for a child his age, meaning he is quite unintelligent but is still socially awkward.
EVERYTHING UNDER THIS IS HELL
It is likely that Manny knows about his parents' favoritism towards him, and he takes advantage of this. This includes breaking Greg's gaming console, drawing on his bedroom door, taking a dirty magazine to day care, and twisting the "No Swearing" rule in such a way that he makes money out of it.
Manny also gets anything and everything he wants, and his parents trust his lies to Greg and Rodrick, so that's why they end up getting grounded, even though Manny deserves it.
Appearance
- Manny looks like a small kid with three hairs, rabbit-like teeth and wears a white shirt, black shorts and white shoes.
- In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (film), Manny has curly hair, a blue shirt and beige shorts.
Trivia
- In the first book, after he yells "Bubby" at Greg on the stage, Greg says he's been able to keep that nickname quiet for 5 years, meaning Manny must be around 6 or 7. However, there is a storyline contradiction in Rodrick Rules, where Manny says that he is 3, and again in The Last Straw, where it says Manny has been held back from preschool three or four times, making him around 7 or 8.
- In the online version, Manny is allergic to peaches. Greg also mentions this in The Ugly Truth.
- The only members of the family who do not appear to like him are Aunt Cakey, Greg Heffley and Rodrick Heffley.
- Manny is quite smart, as he knows how to change the password to both Greg's Net Kritterz account, the TV parental locks so he can watch whatever he likes. He also Spanish and the Snurple language fluently relatively fast.
- Manny loves Bitter Apple Spray, so he probably likes sour and bitter food.
- According to The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary, the main reason the producers picked twins was because they felt that twins would be easier to work with (on account that there would a backup should one refuse to cooperate).
- Manny seems to be fond of keeping random animals as pets. In The Long Haul, he is attached to The Heffleys' Pig and repeatedly attempts to get him back. In The Getaway, he attempts three times to keep wild sea animals as pets: first with hermit crabs and snails, second with a baby sea turtle, and third with a Box Jellyfish. Surprisingly, in The Meltdown, he doesn't seem too concerned with the pig being lost.
- He may be modeled after Igdoof's little brother.
- Manny got brand new things when he was a baby, like pacifiers, and his bed looked even newer than Rodrick's.
- Jeff Kinney said that he gave Manny his name because he originally didn't know it was short for Emmanuel. Rather, he thought it was meant to be an ultra-masculine name. "So, I wanted to have this tiny boy have this over-masculine name".
- Manny barely appeares in Double Down and only makes a few cameos
