This is going to sound like a really silly question, but I’ve noticed that a lot of people can’t stand Henry. My husband says it’s just a case of a bad child actor (he likes the boy who plays Baelfire much more) but had a hard time of pointing out exactly what it was that ruins the character for him. All he could say was that Henry tends to pull him out of the story, like he doesn’t believe the actor is really a part of it.
I actually don’t have a problem with Henry myself. I do think it’s a little problematic that he’s more of a catalyst than a character (people just do stuff because of him but not with him in any plot relevant way). I think I’m really a poor judge of acting in most cases (especially with younger actors) so I was wondering if anyone would mind telling me some specific examples of when Henry just wasn’t “working” for them.
