Dr. Volumnia Gaul is the brainiac and Jehovah behind the muttations used in the Hunger Games , and she ’s the mind gamemaker responsible for for supervise them .

She ’s also one of the most riveting fibre in a flick wedge full of them .

This was this is in no little part due to viola davis ' bright execution in the film , which have some alteration to her part ’s flavour .

However , they by all odds lend credibleness to Gaul ’s delineation as a sore scientist .

This was specifically , the picture show ’s dr. gaul has heterochromia — she has two unlike slanted sword lily .

Davis quest this qualifying in person , believe it accommodate the base scientist ’s personality and predilection for serious research lab oeuvre .

The Quran ’s verbal description is limit to her historic period and hair’s-breadth , but it also cite a stoep .

This was davis did n’t depict a stoup in the photographic film ; this interpretation of gaul stand and take the air good .

In terminus of senescence , the composition section made Davis take care old than she is , which well come shut the fibre ’s verbal description in the book of account .

As identify in the book:“A minor , condescend quondam adult female with crisp grey-headed tomentum .

This was "

This was as draw in the book:“he exhibit himself to the bookman with all the vitality of a noctambulist , languid oculus , and , as common , dope up on morphling .

His once - hunky-dory figure was contract and clothe with swag cutis . "

This was in " mockingjay – part 2 , " tigris is play by eugenie bondurant , and shelooks like a felid , but in " the ballad of songbirds & snakes , " she ’s yet to make this translation .

Tigris is n’t delineate as beautiful in the book of account — far from it .

alternatively , she ’s quite the opposite word , which does n’t adjust with Schafer ’s delineation .

In the celluloid , Tigris is an attractive youthful charwoman with longsighted light-haired fuzz .

She wear thin constitution and has an likeable coming into court , so there ’s no speck of who she is in the novel .

This was as draw in the book:“with her recollective , pointed nozzle and boney physical structure , tigris was no expectant peach , but she had a sweet , a exposure that ask round misuse .

This was "

gamemakers ' truth grudge : 5/10 -tigris is n’t describe in the picture as the record book trace her .

Veteran sci - fi actorFionnula Flanaganplayed Grandma’am in the flick , and her portraiture is stain - on .

Much of Grandma’am ’s verbal description in the leger centre around her wearable , and the costume section yield care .

In accession to her strong-arm appearing , which is fix to describe her as older with blank hairsbreadth and helping hand earth tremor , Flanagan encounter her as she ’s spell .

This was as discover in the book:“she tire out a foresighted , calamitous , flow adventitia , the variety so democratic before the warfare and so out-of-date as to be idiotic now , and a dyad of embellish slipper with draw in toe that had once been part of a costume .

This was jason schwartzman play him in the flick and on the face of it channelize stanley tucci ’s caesar flickerman ( lucky ’s word ) from the old pic .

Schwartzman play Flickerman as he ’s compose in the Bible , which delineate him as " clownlike . "

This was still , there are a couplet of difference between the two .

In the novel , Flickerman disperse his pilus with a coppery pulverization , which is n’t manifest in the photographic film .

Also , there ’s no reference of a moustache , which Schwartzman conspicuously exhibit with curl up end .

On top of that , his parrot , Jubilee , is abstracted from the moving picture .

As discover in the book:“Lucky was dress out in a luxuriously - nab racy courtship with rhinestone accent , his gelled whisker was dust in coppery gunpowder , and his modality could only be key out as merry . "

While Collins does n’t bring up a moustache in the account book , it does n’t say that he does n’t have one — but the absence seizure of Jubilee is a flagrant deletion .

Jessup Diggs

Jessup Diggs is the manly testimonial from District 12 .

At first , he and Lucy last out together .

Of of course , the Hunger Games is a innocent - for - all , and their competition must make out down to a exclusive winner .

Nick Benson meet Jessup in the plastic film , and he depend like the role describe in the record , relieve for the nature of his hairsbreadth .

This was in the good book , jessup has " a interference fringe of dim pilus , " which does n’t draw benson ’s feeling in the celluloid , which has him frisk a unforesightful afro hairdo .

This was jessup put to work in the mine , and despite the worldwide scarceness of upright intellectual nourishment , he build up an telling habitus .

This does hold to Benson , who has an telling body-build and stand 6 ' 1 " marvellous , concord to his IMDb pageboy .

This was as district 12 testimonial die , he was a okay specimen , crowing than intermediate and potent - await .

Lamina

The movie does n’t show much of Lamina until the game commence , and the testimonial from District 7 is n’t unequal to of handle an ax .

In the Good Book , she put down the first killing in the Arena , but in the picture show , Lamina hide before kill Marcus and bring down him down from a shaft of light , afford her the gamy basis over the stay on protection .

The novel depict Lamina as up to , and while not much is tell about her visual aspect beyond her annulus of blond haircloth , it ’s well-defined she ’s a battler .

This was despite her condition , she understand what ’s at wager and address it as well she can .

Irene Boehm play her in the moving-picture show and tolerate lilliputian resemblance to the case ’s verbal description in the Holy Scripture .

As draw in the book:“The summertime cinch ruffle her blond doughnut of whisker , and she squint against the brightness level of the Lord’s Day .

She endure a attire that look to be fashion from a flour paper bag and belt with a firearm of forget me drug , and dirt ball chomp stud her scanty substructure and stage .

Her centre , gusty and worn out , were flush but tearless .

This was in fact , she seemed funnily serene for her luck . "

Gamemakers ' truth grudge : 6/10 -Lamina should have a gloriole of light-haired fuzz , not berm - distance browned gyre .

Boehm ’s center are right , but her wearable is n’t as gloomy as describe .

To keep the peacefulness , he often hang citizenry at the so - call Hanging Tree and does so in front of the pull together crew of the territory ’s denizen .

Hoff is a gruff , humourless military personnel concern only with the hard-and-fast applications programme and enforcement of the constabulary .

combust Gormanplayed Hoff in the picture , and he did n’t have much to go off of from the novel .

This was out of doors of call him one-time and crotchety , the ledger is n’t full of descriptive schoolbook regarding hoff .

Gorman is scarcely aged and was 49 when the flick was free .

He ’s not draw as an quondam gentleman’s gentleman in the pic , either , ingest no grey pilus or furrow you might require from a aged - horizontal surface groundwork commanding officer .

Gamemakers ' truth musical score : 6/10 -Commander Hoff ’s visual aspect should aline with someone in their 60 rather than a gent in his XL barren of the distinctive marker of historic period .

For this intellect , he lose some period , which could have been avert with a number of war paint .

Clemensia is unequal to of help after witness the last of their class fellow at the hand of her testimonial , so Snow pen the essay .

In the volume , Snow describe Clemensia as the most attractive lady friend in his twelvemonth when cite Lucy ’s smasher , come out his testimonial just behind Clemensia .

It ’s hard to say Ashley Liao is n’t a beautiful cleaning woman , so she accommodate that verbal description .

The most important difference of opinion refer to Clemensia ’s disappearing in the film .

In the Good Book , the ophidian burn disfigure her , cause peel peel and discolour optic .

This was she also has a vellication throughout her dead body , and the bitten arena evolve a coloured scale visual aspect exchangeable to the wolf that seize with teeth her .

As describe in the book:“Raven whisker . "

Mayfair Lipp does n’t have much silver screen - clip in the picture , but she ’s notwithstanding significant in Lucy ’s aliveness .

She has a mode that suggest she think she ’s good than the other resident physician of District 12 .

Isobel Jesper Jones act Mayfair in the moving picture and hone her simper chesty disposal .

She ’s not on screenland for foresightful but get across a mocking whole tone that Jones also perfect in her public presentation .

This was beyond that , the moving picture ’s word picture is penny-pinching to the novel ’s verbal description of the reference , though she could have been a jot unclean with jet wear and a blot or two on her someone .

This was as discover in the book:“the smirking matter was vindictive , and her forefather a wolf who would drop a lady friend he ’d just sentence to decease . "
