Henry Bowers

Henry Bowers from the movie "IT: Chapter Two" 2019. Henry Bowers is portrayed as sociopathic and sadistic, traits that together make him the perfect human puppet for the entity known as It. As a student, Henry is academically deficient in middle school, not very intelligent but very cunning and crafty. He spends much of his time working on his father's farm on the outskirts of Derry, performing most of the manual labor involved. He has grown up without a mother, who left the family because of her husband's alcoholism and untreated post-traumatic stress disorder as a veteran of World War II. Henry himself is often abused by his drunken father.

Henry and his small gang of bullies often terrorize and physically abuse the members of The Losers Club. Eventually, the group's members learn to fight back, often defeating Henry by outwitting him. Though Henry is often hurt, even severely, his will, manipulated by It, seems to make him unstoppable. He is often kicked or hit in the crotch, an injury that would halt most boys his age and size. However, as the Losers often note, he is back on his feet in very little time and it takes a tremendous effort to stop him even for a short period.

At the age of 10, Henry kills Mike Hanlon's dog, Mr Chips, when he feeds the animal ground beef he'd laced with rat poison, sitting back serenely watching the dog die. For years before this deed, Henry had been subjected to Butch Bower's racist opinion of Mike's father, whose own farm down the road was more successful than the Bowers'. Butch simply blames Hanlon for every misfortune he has and claims that the rest of the community had lied in their support of Hanlon. Killing Mr Chips was Henry's way of winning his father's affection; his reward was joy from Butch and being treated to a beer. After IT becomes active again in 2016, It floats one of It's balloons in front of the asylum where Henry is locked up, causing him to excitedly chase the balloon along the asylum's windows before he is locked up in his room. Disappointed that the balloon is gone, Henry is surprised to spot it under his bed where Henry yanks on the balloon until it pops. It, in the form of Patrick Hockstetter's corpse, emerges from underneath the bed and offers Henry his knife back. Gleeful, Henry brutally murders an asylum guard and escapes, fleeing in a vehicle driven by Patrick's corpse.

Returning to Derry, Henry stalks the Losers Club and ambushes Eddie Kaspbrak in the bathroom after Richie Tozier leaves. Henry stabs Eddie in the cheek, stating that It told him that it's Eddie's time and that its "time to float." Eddie hides behind the shower curtain and when Henry gets close, Eddie stabs him in the chest with his own knife. Telling Henry to cut his mullet, that it's been almost thirty years, Eddie flees downstairs. However, Henry, though badly wounded, escapes out the window to continue his rampage. Watching from the broken window, Ben Hanscom witnesses a laughing Henry remove the knife and take off, experiencing a flashback to Henry trying to carve his name into Ben's stomach.

That night, Henry sneaks into the library where he purposefully pushes the book containing the story on the deaths of Mike Hanlon's parents in a fire off the shelf behind Mike. As Mike is distracted by the book, Henry charges him and the two men fight through library, but Henry gets the upper hand and pins Mike to the floor. As Mike struggles to keep Henry from stabbing him, Henry gleefully taunts Mike that he should've died with his parents in the fire and sadistically enjoys describing how they burned to death.
