I've only read Hunger Games and watched the movie and noticed a large presence of Seneca Crane in the movie.However, I don't recall him being mentioned in the Hunger Games? Is he even mentioned in the Hunger Games? If so, please provide pages.I know he is definitely mentioned in Catching Fire but I haven't read that yet.
No they just wanted to show who he was and what he did. How he died and why
Yes he Is r u sure u read it I read it a year ago know my boyfriend is obsessed with them he insist on me calling him Peeta I even remember him
Nope. He is just called The Gamemaker in The Hunger Games. I guess they wanted to elaborate on him more so that you would know Katniss's hatred for him in the Catching Fire movie.
Crane and Snow get some extra screen time vs. the book. This helps to explain the HG universe to people that had not read the books. It also sets the stage for the changes to the Games / head gamemaker in the next film. I'm pretty sure Katniss does not find out his name until the next book.
