In Catching Fire , he is described as formerly being young, strong, and "something of a looker" 25 years ago when he won the games; he had curly dark hair and gray Seam eyes that are bright. In the films, he has straight blond hair and blue eyes like the people in the merchant sector. It is mentioned in Mockingjay that two weeks after being crowned victor, his girlfriend, mother, and younger brother were all killed by the Capitol due to the stunt he pulled with the force field in the 50th Hunger Games.
He made the Capitol look stupid, being the only one to know the advantage of the force field. Haymitch first meets Katniss when she volunteered to go in instead of Prim at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. He stated that she had "spunk. At first, he dismissed her as well as Peeta but decides that they may be worthy of winning the Games after they gang up on him. Katniss is convinced that Haymitch hates her and he does not try to contradict her. He is hard on them but his teachings are the only things that help them through the Games.
During the Games, Katniss and Haymitch, albeit being apart, develop an understanding, and a strong bond is forged. Katniss and Haymitch communicate through Haymitch's gifts. If he didn't send many gifts, or none at all, he was telling Katniss to play up the "love" act.
Katniss responds well and they communicate without Peeta knowing until the train ride home. Haymitch is the first whom Katniss thanks when she leaves the arena. In Catching Fire , Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch are closer and always deal with whatever threat comes in front of them.
Haymitch keeps his role as a mentor, despite the end of the Games. When Katniss finds out from him that Peeta has captured by the Capitol, Katniss attacks Haymitch by scratching his face with her fingernails and is subdued before further damage is inflicted. It isn't until she decides to be the Mockingjay that they speak again. Haymitch cares about her, understanding her more than others. For instance, when she realizes how Snow is using Peeta, Katniss runs to Haymitch as she breaks down, for they both care about him.
Later, Katniss goes to Haymitch to confide in him her idea of Coin killing Prim, and when he teases her, causing her to flee, he tries to follow her but trips and later tries to get her to talk of her problems. He continues to be her "mentor" when she is sent back to District Haymitch and Peeta did not get off on the right foot, they fought each other on the train ride to the Capitol during the 74th Hunger Games. The two later work together often and become close to each other.
Haymitch favored Peeta since he was very useful and charismatic. He admits that he likes Peeta better. The two of them form plans together, like Peeta's act of love to Katniss. Peeta is able to be told secrets and plans by Haymitch and keep them to himself.
Haymitch does not help Peeta during the 74th Hunger Games. Haymitch is hurt when he is taken away by the Capitol and feels guilty for allowing this to happen. Although he does not admit it, Haymitch truly loves Peeta.
Haymitch attacks Peeta to see if he will put up a fight in the arena and is pleased when he and Katniss both show strength against him by ganging up.
Haymitch comes up with ideas in preparation for the Games and informs Peeta of them. Haymitch helps him, and the two both become close to each other. Haymitch and Peeta work together to come up with the star-crossed lovers idea to gain sympathy from the audience.
Haymitch is overjoyed when both he and Katniss come back from the Games alive. He does everything he can to prevent them from being harmed by the Capitol since they are enraged by the suicide act with the nightlock in the arena. Haymitch is somewhat hurt when Peeta is angry at him for keeping secrets from Peeta and is deeply hurt when President Snow announces the third Quarter Quell will be reaping victors since Peeta may die.
Haymitch is deeply concerned when Peeta is captured by the Capitol. He and Katniss both work together to rescue Peeta. Haymitch and Katniss try their best to help Peeta through the stress and effects of the tracker jacker juice they used to hijack his memories.
The two reconnect at the end of Mockingjay. Effie annoys Haymitch greatly with her Capitol ways. Since Haymitch isn't familiar with Effie's manners, deadlines, and appearance, he becomes annoyed when she nags him about them. He annoys Effie as well by being at his worst and frustrates her by his appearance and manners like when he eats with his hands or like an animal. The two do have their moments together such as the night before the third Quarter Quell.
The two say their final goodbyes before she is taken away, and Haymitch is shown to care for her. Haymitch and Effie do not start off on the right foot. They first encounter each other when Haymitch shows up drunk and in poor conditions at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games.
He throws up and hugs her, messing up her pink wig. He reappears again when he throws up on the train, which only makes Effie more enraged. Haymitch and Effie work together to help Katniss and Peeta, and she helps him line up sponsors. Haymitch and Effie are shown to be the same during the Victory tour as he shows poor manners, and Effie annoys him with her nagging about his appearance and manners.
The two seem to let Katniss and Peeta decide their own choices during preparations for the third Quarter Quell. The night before the third Quarter Quell, Effie is taken away, but before Haymitch and she say their final goodbyes, they are shown to like each other and care for one another. In the movie adaptation of "Mockingjay", as Haymitch and Effie say their last goodbye, it is shown that they might have become a couple during their time spent in District Haymitch kisses Effie on her cheek and tells her to "not be a stranger".
After that, they have a kiss on the mouth and Haymitch promises Effie to take care of Katniss. This event only happens in the movie. Haymitch and Chaff, a District 11 Victor, are old friends who both have a sense of humor and occasional bad attitude.
They won their games 5 years apart and so have known each other almost all of their mentoring careers. They often get drunk together and play jokes on others to get a laugh out of it.
For example, Haymitch and Chaff play a joke on Katniss after the parade in Catching Fire when Chaff kisses Katniss on the lips; they both guffaw over her reaction. Haymitch briefly allied with Maysilee Donner during the 50th Hunger Games and seemed to be Haymitch-sort-of friendly to her until she broke off the alliance. When she was hurt by muttations, Haymitch heard her scream and ran to help her, even though he had reasons not to because of their broken alliance.
He then stayed with her until she died, much like Katniss did with Rue. Katniss, in Catching Fire, after watching Haymitch's tapes before the 75th Hunger games, thinks about the similarity: she was too late to save Rue, and Haymitch was too late to save Maysilee. And as mentioned by Peeta in the Hunger Games, sometimes sober. He was District 12's only living victor until Katniss and Peeta won. He is often sarcastic and unfriendly, but it is revealed in Mockingjay that, even though he doesn't say it, he adores Peeta and Katniss.
Even though he admits he had chosen to keep Katniss alive during the 74th Hunger Games. He and Katniss are on the same "wavelength" for most of the books, as he can "communicate" with Katniss by unconventional means, such as the timely deliverance of a sponsor's gift. After the war is over, Haymitch is sent to District 12 to look after Katniss, but for a long period after arriving he does not visit her, opting to stay in his house and drink.
It is indicated that his relationship with Katniss and Peeta is somewhat repaired as time goes on. After that, Haymitch served as the mentor for several other future District 12 tributes, but the district's poor performances in future Games led to countless deaths and losses. Considering the trauma of killing fellow tributes for sport, losing his family at the hands of President Snow and watching almost all of the tributes he mentored die, it's no surprise that Haymitch turned to drinking and became closed off from others.
Haymitch's journey during his original Hunger Games tournament is very similar to Katniss' initial run. Both started out fighting and surviving on their own before they formed temporary alliances, with Rue serving as Katniss' version of Maysilee.
Unfortunately for both of them, they had to watch their allies die. Haymitch and Katniss were both able to claim victory by outsmarting the Capitol and using their own tricks against them. Later on, Katniss survived her return to the arena in Catching Fire for the 75th Games in part due to Haymitch's plan to save her and bring her to District In the end, both Haymitch and Katniss were key figures in the rebellion against the Capitol.
He has written about books, movies, tv shows, video games and just about everything in between. In the end, Haymitch saw her die. The Mockingjay pin becomes a symbol of the rebellion just like Katniss is. The bird can also be seen in numerous scenes, so it is not just the pin itself but also this particular breed of the bird. For example, Katniss's white wedding dress designed by Cinna turns into a black Mockingjay dress when Katniss spins around. Nevertheless, none of this would have started if Katniss didn't get the pin in the first place.
In the movies, she gets it from an old woman from the flea market, but in the books, it is given to her by the mayor's daughter and Katniss's best friend Madge Undersee. Madge's aunt was Maysilee Donner, who was the tribute that Haymitch allied with in the 50th Hunger Games. Even though Haymitch was considered strong when he was younger, he valued his wit much more. Ultimately, it was really the reason why he won the Games.
A little after he and Maysilee broke up the alliance in order not to kill each other, Haymitch discovered that when he threw rocks of a cliff, they would bounce back because of the force field.
While he was throwing the rocks, he heard Maysilee screaming and rushed to her side, but couldn't help her as she died after deadly candy pink birds sliced her throat with their beaks. Eventually, he was left with a female tribute from District 1 who hit him in his stomach with her ax. He then rushed to the side of the cliff while holding his intestines in.
She threw her ax at him aiming for the head, but he dodged it and it flew into the force field that threw it back at the girl, killing her instantly.
One of the reasons why Haymitch has nightmares is because of his experience in the Hunger Games but another reason is that his family was murdered by the Capitol because of his disobedience. Two weeks after Haymitch was crowned the victor of the 50th Hunger Games, his loved ones, including his girlfriend, mother, and younger brother were all killed on the order of President Snow as a punishment for the stunt he pulled with the force field.
By the end of the second book, we realize that there is a rebellion against the rule of President Snow that has finally broken out, partially thanks to Katniss. However, she gets very angry at Haymitch for keeping it from her and abandoning Peeta in the arena.
Ever since Peeta volunteered to replace him in the 75th Hunger Games, Haymitch had been helping the rebellion and working with Plutarch and other victors on it.
