Haymitch Abernathy is one of the most popular The Hunger Games characters. Though the franchise is technically sci-fi, it is often labeled as dystopian young-adult books (and then movies) mostly targeted at teenagers because of the original trilogy's tracking of the rebellion against Panem. Nevertheless, many adults have also enjoyed the series, which became a breakthrough in its time. Since the publishing of the original novels, two prequel novels have also been published and each novel has, or will have, a movie adaptation.
