* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the novel, Butch was a racist, anti-Semitic, sexist douchebag who had a feud with the Hanlons. He also shows signs of being [[AxCrazy legitimately and dangerously insane]] and prone to outbursts of violent rage; beating his wife to near-death, attacking his son's friends and killing the Hanlons' farm animals. Furthermore, he seems to encourage Henry's own psychotic behavior to the point of rewarding him for killing Mike's dog.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bowersgang.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Left to right: Henry, Belch, Victor (in chair), Patrick (behind Vic)]]
->''"Do you think they'll sign my yearbook? Dear Rich, sorry for taking a hot, steaming dump in your backpack."''
-->-- '''Richie Tozier'''

A gang of four bullies (seven in the novel and five in the miniseries) with a grudge against the Losers.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Compared to how they are described in the novel. Especially Patrick.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Patrick and Henry. In the book Patrick murdered his baby brother and killed baby animals for fun and Henry killed Mike's dog, tried to rape Beverly, whitewashed Stan's face until he bled and almost drowned Bill in a dunk tank. He was very clearly insane even before IT manipulated him. Here, none of Patrick's crimes are seen and Henry only goes murderous when IT starts manipulating him and his heinous actions are either toned down or removed entirely and he even [[PetTheDog gives Bill a pass from his bullying due to Georgie going missing]]. [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes He also shows care for his cousin and tries to “protect” him from Richie’s advances.]]
* AdaptationalSexuality: Patrick and possibly Henry were implied to be closeted bisexuals. In the book; there is a scene of Patrick giving Henry a handjob (though when Patrick offered a blowjob, Henry refused and struck Patrick for doing “that queer stuff”). Here, the handjob between Henry and Patrick is not seen. Patrick’s tendency to grope girls and get sexually aroused by seeing others in pain, as well as Henry’s desire to rape Beverly are also removed. Instead, Henry simply mocks Beverly about her perceived reputation and Patrick is merely seen licking his lips once when the Losers pass him in the hallway.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the novel, there were 9 members of the Bowers gang, one was merely associated with them. In the film, there are only 4-5 members (Henry Bowers, Reginald "Belch" Huggins, Victor "Vic" Criss, and Patrick Hockstetter) with Henry's cousin, Connor Bowers, being associated with the gang.
* AgeLift: In the novel, the bullies are 12 years old. In the movie, they are 15-16.
* BarbaricBully: Their tactics go beyond general schoolyard bullying; they stalk, psychologically torture, and abuse their victims.
* CarloadOfCoolKids: They are not portrayed as "cool" JerkJock types, but they're older and tougher than the Losers and cruise around town in Belch's Trans Am.
* {{Delinquents}}: They have this reputation around town, and it's not undeserved.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the novel, Vic, Belch and Patrick are killed in varying ways by IT. In the movie, Patrick is still eaten by IT but it's under different circumstances. Whereas, Vic and Belch were stabbed to death by Henry, who was driven insane by IT's influence, though this is only shown in a deleted scene.
* DirtyCoward: Vic and Belch are well aware of Henry's psychopathy and are visibly and audibly disturbed by his actions, i.e carving his name into Ben and trying to shoot a cat. They seem to be on Henry's side because they believe they'll be spared from his wrath. This however lead them to their deaths as they were in the front row seats for Henry's murderous insanity when IT broke him.
* ExcrementStatement: Richie offhandedly mentions they once took a dump in his backpack.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Belch is disturbed by Henry carving his name in Ben's stomach and is reluctant when Henry wants to shoot a cat. Victor and Belch are disturbed by Henry's dad abusing and Victor and Patrick don't bully Mike in the alley nor does Victor bully in the Losers outside of the school.
** Henry himself starts the film out with boundaries and limits (he gave Bill a free pass from his bullying because of Georgie and when he saw his dad watching he did not harm the Losers) though they go away as the film goes on.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Their implied M.O towards Mike.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Vic and Belch were killed in the book and both Vic and Belch were only shown dead in a deleted scene. Since the deleted scene was never integrated into the movies, their fates are never mentioned or confirmed in ''Chapter One'' or ''Chapter Two.'']]
* SympathyForTheDevil: Vic and Belch are sympathetic to Henry due to his father's abuse and they do console him after his father humiliates him by shooting at his feet to make him cry. It's unknown if Patrick also pitied him because he was killed by IT, but WordOfSaintPaul states he wouldn't have.
* TeensAreMonsters: Not as sadistic and cruel as the book but still very cruel. They take sadistic glee in assaulting people on a daily basis and are almost as bad as IT itself
* UncertainDoom: Vic and Belch aren't seen in the climax, Henry arrives alone with more blood on his face and in Belch's car. Whether or not they died trying to stop Henry or were left unharmed is unclear until a deleted scene shows that an insane Henry actually murdered them off camera by slitting their throats.
* VillainousFriendship: Zig-zagged, possible due to Henry's growing insanity. Nobody (except for Belch as shown in a deleted scene) seems to care for Patrick, but Belch and Vic seem to genuinely care about Henry, and the gang spends a lot of time together.

----
* AbusiveParents: Henry goes into terrified hysterics when he thinks he might incur the wrath of his father, Butch. At one point, a silently furious Butch fires his gun at Henry's feet, reducing him to tears and humiliating him in front of his friends. Shown by a deleted scene he also beats Henry at home.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: [[spoiler: Downplayed, in the novel, Henry was said to be so traumatised by the events of 1958 that his hair turned white prematurely. Since he never sees Pennywise in his Deadlight form in the movie, his hair remains the same colour. Even when comparing how he is described in the novel to how he looks like in the movie, he comes across as this.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the book he tried to rape Beverly, killed Mike's dog and tried to murder Mike with firecrackers, whitewashed Stan's face until he bleed and nearly drowned Bill in a dunk tank and was anti-semtic and sexist. These are before IT started manipulating him. Here, [[spoiler: all of those actions are toned down (he merely tries to hit Mike with a rock which as opposed to firecrackers, mocks Beverly about her rumors and is never seen trying to rape her and he tries but fails to kill a cat as opposed to killing Mike's dog) or removed entirely. We don't see him established as an anti-semitic or sexist like he was in the book. He also gives Bill a free pass from his bullying due to Georgie dying whereas in the book he never shows any form of kindness to the Losers and in this adaptation he even has a cousin who he seems to care for and protect from Richie's advances.]]
* AxCrazy: He gets progressively more unhinged with each fresh humiliation and shown by a deleted scene ends up murdering his own friends. [[spoiler:In ''Chapter Two'', the time he spends in a mental institution has destroyed what little sanity he had left.]]
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He tries to shoot a live cat.
* BarbaricBully: Even before Pennywise drives him crazy, Henry's idea of amusement include carving his name into the bellies of large kids with a switchblade, trying to hit Mike in the head with a rock and shooting helpless kittens with a 1911 pistol for target practice. Even his ''underlings'' think he's crazy, though Patrick seemed happy about it.
* BigBadWannabe: He's the biggest bully in Derry, but is a mere pawn in IT's schemes.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He doesn't appreciate people making advances on his younger cousin. But [[AxCrazy given]] [[BarbaricBully Henry's]] [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain reputation]], it's debatable how genuine this is.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: While normally he is a violently unstable bully, he never tried to kill or severely harm anybody at first and it's only under IT's influence that he truly turns [[AxCrazy deranged]] (although attempting to murder a cat is pretty deranged). First, when he attempts to carve his name in Ben, a car passes with a red balloon in the back seat. Then when he and his gang attempt to force Mike to eat raw meat and then smack him in the face with a rock, IT is right there in the bushes. Later IT gives him his knife back and pushes him to murder his father, before sending him to attack the Losers.
* BreakTheHaughty: He is on the receiving end of this from his father, who intimidates him to stop his bullying.
* TheBully: He's the most infamous bully in Derry.
* BullyBrutality: Oh yeah. One of his first scenes has trying to carve his name into Ben's stomach. He gets worse under IT's influence.
* CopKiller: He kills his police officer father.
* CoveredInScars: As shown in a deleted scene, his back is covered in fresh wounds from his father's abuse.
* DemotedToExtra: He's more of a PlotIrrelevantVillain than in either the source material or the miniseries.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the book, Eddie gouges his eyes out and stabs him with a broken bottle. In the movie, [[spoiler:Richie kills him with a hatchet to the head.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He goes after the Losers in Neibolt Street under the influence of It, but Mike is able to neutralize him pretty quickly, and he only slows them down for five minutes.
* DisneyVillainDeath: A more violent version as when Mike pushes him down the old well, Henry hits the sides like a pinball on the way down. Subverted, as he returns in the sequel.
* TheDragon: When Pennywise realizes how much of a threat the Losers pose, IT recruits Henry to kill them for it. [[spoiler:Years later, he happily takes up the mantle again to get back at the Losers.]]
* EightiesHair: Henry has a mullet as opposed to a duck's-ass haircut. Lampshaded when Richie calls him a "mullet-wearing asshole".
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he cowers in the face of his father, he at least seemed to care for his cousin in ''Chapter Two'' and tries to "protect" him from [[spoiler:Richie's]] advances towards him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He had enough humanity left to start the movie with multiple standards (giving Bill a free pass or not harming the Losers knowing his dad was watching) but it goes away starting from his scene with Ben onwards.
* FatBastard: He turns into one during the [[spoiler:sequel, particularly after being admitted to a mental hospital due to his mental deterioration.]]
* FreudianExcuse: His father has no trouble firing a gun at his own son without so much as blinking just to terrify him and beats him at home, so it's clear he had a very abusive childhood. His father also being a police officer means he also didn't need to fear any consequences for his actions as long as they didn't have the potential to make Butch look bad.
* HumiliationConga: The Losers' thwarting him, chucking rocks at him and his gang, and his father shooting a gun at him and making him cry in front of his friends pushes him over the edge.
* KickTheDog: He tries to kill a stray cat with a Colt .45 pistol. His father intervenes.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: His father then shoots at him with the gun, and only misses by inches, and beats him at home. Henry kills him under the influence of Pennywise.
* KnifeNut: A [[SinisterSwitchblade switchblade]], which he loses while chasing Ben. IT "gifts" it back to him, and has him use it to kill his father and chase the Losers.
** [[spoiler: It returns the knife to Bowers in ''Chapter Two'' by way of a badly decomposed and mutilated Hockstetter. He kills a guard and orderly at the mental institution and wounds Eddie with it.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: He repeatedly bullies the Losers with homophobic slurs, and [[spoiler: gets killed by Richie, who is gay.]]
* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:The influence of IT drives Henry way over the deep end; as he's arrested for murdering his father, he starts giggling psychotically, and quickly starts doing it again when Pennywise reaches out to him again as an adult.]]
* MadeOfIron: When he tries to kill Mike, he gets stunned when Mike frees himself and then is pushed down the well where his head collides with the stone walls 3 times before plummeting. He survived all that.
** [[spoiler: In the sequel, he got gutted into his stomach by the frightened Eddie when tried to ambush him, and survived. Only being axed to his head by Richie is the way he finally kicks the bucket.]]
* MirrorScare: [[spoiler: Does this to Eddie in ''Chapter Two''.]]
* MissingMom: His mother isn’t seen or mentioned at any point in the film.
* MoralityPet: His cousin in Chapter Two where he [[spoiler:tries to protect him from Richie's advances.]] Also while he still does hate him Bill is the only member of the Losers he shows any form of compassion to shown by giving him a free pass in due to Georgie going missing in the first film.
* PaperTiger: He's an older and taller bully backed up by loyal thugs, so he easily puts a scare into the Losers. However, after he tries to shoot a cat, his father intervenes by taking the gun and firing several rounds to humiliate him in front of his friends and demonstrate how quickly Henry will fold in the face of someone who's not already scared of him.
-->'''Butch''': Look at him now, boys. Nothing like a little fear to make a paper man crumble.
* {{Patricide}}: He kills his father under the influence of IT.
* PetTheDog: A mild version of EvenEvilHasStandards, but he gives Bill a "free pass" for the rest of the school year after Georgie goes missing.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Despite being the biggest bully in Derry, Henry pales in comparison to IT, and isn't directly involved in the plot until Pennywise drives him over the edge. He only manages to slow the Losers down for a few minutes before being taken out. [[spoiler:Henry doesn't fare much better in ''Chapter Two'', either. Not only does he not impact or change the plot in any significant way in the sequel, he doesn't injure either Mike or Eddie to the extent he did in the novel. Once Henry is killed for good, he's quickly forgotten and never mentioned again.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: It isn't as explicit as in the book or miniseries (he doesn't drop any n-bombs in this version) but it's heavily implied he targets Mike exclusively for being black, yells racist comments [[spoiler: while attacking Mike in the library in ''Chapter Two'']], and refers to several of the Losers as "faggots".
* SanityHasAdvantages: [[spoiler:Due to his insanity, he's initially confused in ''Chapter Two'' when Eddie hides behind a shower curtain, allowing Eddie to stab him in the chest with his own knife]].
* SanitySlippage: Under the influence of IT, to the point where come the second film he thinks little of the [[spoiler:corpse of his friend Patrick helping him escape from a mental institution]].
* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: In ''Chapter Two'', he's still the same BarbaricBully he was in high school, except even more unhinged due to spending time in an asylum.
* TeensAreMonsters: Perhaps the most popular example.
* UncertainDoom: Henry seems to die after being shoved into the well but he is confirmed to still be alive in ''Chapter Two'' when he [[spoiler:gets washed out into the Barrens along with dead victims of IT.]]
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: [[spoiler:In the second film he gets over the shock of seeing Patrick's corpse walking around and helping him escape the mental hospital within seconds.]]
* VillainDecay: His effective prominence is diminished in the sequel, having become a PlotIrrelevantVillain.

!!Victor Criss
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_opib68ndxp1qgg5n4o1_1280_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:210:''"You okay, Henry?"'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Logan Thompson

The second-in-command and smartest bully of Henry Bowers's gang.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Both incarnations of Vic are still bullies but in the novel, Vic is depicted as the OnlySaneMan of the Bowers Gang who once approached the Losers with the initial attempt to join them but changed his mind and instead warned them of Henry's growing brutality. He is also one of the few people to notice Henry's eroding sanity and grew increasingly reluctant to stay friends with him. In the movie he is still unsettled by Henry's acts and still pities him but his better nature isn't shown that much. He also smiles when Henry cuts Ben compared to the book and miniseries where he tries to stop Henry.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While in the book Victor Criss is rebellious and prone to outbursts in class, it's implied that he will grow out of that behavior and he has some friendly interactions with the Losers Club. In the film Victor Criss is quiet and cruel and does a lot more glaring than shouting.
* BrightIsNotGood: Has platinum blond hair and is a bully.
* DeathGlare: '''Frequently''' shooting these at people for intimidation purposes. He gives one to [[TheSociopath Butch Bowers]] of all people!
* TheDragAlong: Downplayed, but he (seems to) take less joy in bullying than his friends. He's also present but doesn't partake in the scene at the beginning where Henry, Patrick, and Belch harass the Losers Club outside of the school, or the one where they beat Mike in the alley.
* TheDragon: Victor is the Bowers Gang's second-in-command. Henry trusts him to find his switchblade, delegating chasing Ben to Belch and Patrick.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Disturbed by Butch Bowers firing a gun inches away from his son's feet.
* GreenAndMean: Victor wears green clothes throughout most of the movie.
* PetTheDog: Seems genuinely concerned after witnessing Henry being abused by his father. He's also noticeably unsettled when he sees a frantic Henry trying to find his switchblade in order to avoid his father's wrath.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During the rock fight.
* SlasherSmile: When him and his friends are bullying Ben. He doesn't stop when Henry pulls out his switchblade.
* TheQuietOne: He uses his DeathGlare more than words to intimidate people. He's less boisterous than Belch, and less hammily evil than Henry and Patrick.
* TheStoic: More or less.
* TranquilFury: When he witnesses Butch Bowers abusing Henry. Just look at him, he just [[DeathGlare glares]] at him and has his fists clenched. He just looks like he wants to rip Butch's head off!
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last scene of him and Belch is before Henry kills his father. Until it gets revealed that the two were killed by Henry in a deleted scene
* VillainousFriendship: His friendship with Henry seems to be the strongest out of the gang.

[[folder:Belch]]
!!Reginald "Belch" Huggins
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aceeddiekaspbrak_belch.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Henry!"'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jake Sim

The physically strongest bully in Henry Bowers's gang.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In both incarnations Belch is still a bully and the most loyal follower of Henry but in the novel he's more vocal about his dislike of Henry's father, even saying "I don't fuck with crazy people" to Vic. In the novel, Belch dies after a HeroicSacrifice to save Henry whereas a deleted scene of the film shows Henry killed him and Victor.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the novel Belch is regarded as the strongest of Henry's gang due to his growth spurt enhancing his muscles. In the movie, Belch's strength isn't shown that much and he is killed in a deleted scene, having been overpowered by an insane Henry. The circumstances of his death isn't shown or explained, making it uncertain if he was killed off guard or by a HeroicSacrifice to stop Henry.
* AllThereInTheManual: That his first name is Reginald.
* BoisterousBruiser: A big guy with a bombastic personality.
* TheBrute: Big and strong, though he is more stockily built than in the novel and his previous incarnation, both of which portraying him with a physical frame of six feet which dwarfed the rest of his friends.
* CoolCar: Belch drives a blue 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
* DumbMuscle: Implied to be this, and is always taking direction from Henry. Even Patrick bosses him around during their brief scene together.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He and the others gladly help Henry beat up Ben, but when Henry pulls out his switchblade it can be noticed that Belch's smile fades to a look of shock, and when Henry carves an H into Ben, it's very obvious that Belch sees this as taking this too far. He's also very uncomfortable when Henry wants to shoot that poor cat.
* FatBastard: Is a bit obese in the 2017 version.
* {{Gasshole}}: Where he gets his nickname.
* {{Irony}}: During the rock fight with the Losers, "Antisocial" by ''Music/{{Anthrax}}'' serves as the background music. During the same scene, Belch wore an ''Anthrax'' T-shirt, and the Losers won. Clearly, his favorite band was rooting against him.
* KindHeartedCatLover: Downplayed. Though he doesn't come across as kind-hearted, he does seem to have a soft spot for cats. Especially when Henry orders him to pick one up to shoot.
* {{Metalhead}}: Belch's fashion choices, taste in music, and behavior indicate he's one.
* PetTheDog: Is the only one concerned about Patrick’s disappearance.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During the rock fight.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Delivers a particularly memorable (and silly) example of this trope, during the rock fight.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last scene of him and Victor is before Henry kills his father. Henry is also inexplicably driving Belch's car at the end of the film. A deleted scene shows that Henry killed both of them and stole his car.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/patrick_hocksetter.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm gonna light his hair like Michael Jackson."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Owen Teague

-->''"I hear you, tits. Don't think you can stay down here all damn day."''

The most disturbing bully in Henry Bowers's gang.
----

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book; he's described as a short, fat boy who resembles a lump of clay crudely molded to look like a human child. In the film; he's a lanky teenager with messy dark hair.
* AdaptationalDistillation: This version is a lot simpler than his literary counterpart. In the book, he was a psychopath who collected and tortured animals, sexually harrassed girls, killed his brother, and believed he was the only being that existed in the universe. In the movie, he's still a member of the Bower's gang and the most enthusiastic about torturing weaker kids (in fact, he's the only one to enjoy watching Henry carve his name into Ben's stomach) but he isn't as complex as his book counterpart.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Compared to the book. [[spoiler: Here his worst act is scaring Ben with a flamethrower and he doesn't actually try to burn him as he backs off himself. He also doesn't bully Mike when they come across him in an alley. In the book he murders his baby brother and kills animals for fun.]]
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the book; Patrick was a solipsistic psychopath who murdered his baby brother and tortured and killed animals for fun. In the movie; he’s only a generic bully at best and gangly goon at worst. In the movie; his worst act is intimidating Ben with a makeshift flamethrower. In the novel, Patrick's solipsism actually affects IT's shapeshifting abilities because he believed he was the only thing that exists in the universe and was only afraid of leeches because they reminded him of his mortality.
* AdaptationalSexuality: In the novel, Patrick is depicted as perverted towards girls by trying to grope them. He was also suggested to be bisexual or bicurious towards Henry and got sexually aroused whenever someone was in pain. In the film, Patrick's sexuality isn't highlighted, all he does is make mockingly lewd gestures towards Richie but he is the first of the central cast to be killed despite his small amount of scenes.
* AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed, in the movie he's simply ambushed by IT after being lured into the sewers and he's killed quite quickly. In the book, IT actually struggled with Patrick as his solipsism affected IT's abilities. Patrick was only afraid of leeches, so there was no secondary form for IT to take and it resulted in IT's face resembling melting wax because IT couldn't find a form that would scare Patrick more than the leeches.
* AxCrazy: He's not nearly as bad as in the book (where he murders his infant brother and gets aroused by murdering small animals), but he's still pretty crazy. He nearly burns Ben's hair and he looks really excited when Henry tries to carve his name in Ben's stomach.
* DemotedToExtra: Compared to his literary counterpart, who got an entire POV chapter.
* DepravedHomosexual: Downplayed, but he does get in a few lecherous stares at Richie, complete with licking his lips.
* FacialHorror: [[spoiler: He gets blood on his face while running after seeing the dead kids. It is unknown if the kids bit him or if he gets the blood from when he briefly falls in the sewer water but considering he most likely would have been killed by the kids if he got bit as well as the face IT was likely feeding down in that sewer (considering he has blood on his mouth) it is likely the latter.]]
* ForgottenFallenFriend: The other members of the Bowers Gang don't seem too concerned about his disappearance (though it's possible that it was a result of IT's influence as his missing poster was quickly replaced with that of Eddie Corcoran). Subverted as Belch does seem concerned for him in a deleted scene, informing Henry about his dad having not heard anything.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While none of his friends seem to be concerned or mention him when he disappears, [[{{Subverted}} a deleted scene shows Belch telling Henry that he ran into Patrick's dad who has not heard anything.]] Although Henry cuts him off and says he doesn't care this was more likely out of his anger of being beaten by his father than his actual feelings.
* GigglingVillain: He giggles at stealing Stan's kippah and continues to smile all the way until he meets IT.
* LeanAndMean: Tall, gangly, and rail-thin, and the second cruelest behind Bowers himself.
* MauveShirt: In the novel, Patrick appeared later in the book and was the last of the Bowers Gang to be introduced (and the first to be 'shown' meeting his end) but in the movie, Patrick appears much earlier and is more toned down compared to his novel counterpart. This suggested that Patrick was going to have a larger role and be another negative influence on Henry due to his psychotic personality.
* PosthumousCharacter: Makes an appearance as an apparition of IT several times after his death, talking to Bev through the drain and appearing on the TV with Pennywise. [[spoiler:He makes further appearances in ''Chapter Two'', with Pennywise appearing as an undead Patrick to assist Henry in killing the Losers.]]
* PyroManiac: Carries around a makeshift flamethrower (a spray can and a Zippo). Might be a MythologyGag, considering the infamous scene with lighters in the junkyard from the novel.
* {{Sadist}}: He shows joy and excitement at seeing Henry carving his name in Ben's stomach.
* TheSociopath: Less so than in the book, but he's still a dyed-in-the-wool sadist and the film exchanges his sadism towards animals with another (less serve compared to the book) sociopathic trait, namely pyromania.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Not that he's particularly witty, but he towers over everyone he shares the screen with (a role occupied by Belch in the novel and former adaptation) and has some interesting one-liners.
* WeHardlyKnewYou: Killed by It fairly early into the first movie.
* TheWorfEffect: Patrick, a bully armed with a flamethrower and has extreme cruelty, is swiftly dispatched by Pennywise when he enters the sewers.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm not supposed to take stuff from strangers..."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jackson Robert Scott

Bill Denbrough's younger brother, who goes missing after an encounter with Pennywise in a storm drain.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: After convincing him to reach into the storm drain to retrieve the boat, Pennywise violently bites into and rips Georgie's arm off.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Entirely averted. He looked up to Bill, and they had a very loving relationship. Bill loves him so much that he refuses to believe that Georgie is dead, and gets the gang together to fight Pennywise.
* BigBrotherWorship: Georgie absolutely adores Bill, being seen hugging him, sitting on his lap, and worries about how he'll react when he loses the paper boat he made for him. Also when he's dragged into the storm drain by Pennywise he calls out for Bill to save him rather than his mom or dad, implying that he saw Bill as his protector.
* BigNo: Georgie, when his paper boat is about to be washed down a storm drain.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Before his death, Georgie was a pretty innocent boy, admiring Bill to a high degree, having the usual stuff that any kid his age would have in his room, and going out in the rain to have fun.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Has his arm bitten off by Pennywise, allowed to suffer in pain and bleed out for awhile, then dragged into the sewers to his death. Made even more cruel in that his last words are him crying for his big brother to save him.
* TheCutie: His adorable innocence and politeness combined with his idolization and love for his older brother make Georgie a prime example of this.
* DeadAllAlong: Throughout the movie, his brother is under the impression that Georgie's just been kidnapped (or rather, he deludes himself into thinking this). But finally comes to accept Georgie's death after finding his torn raincoat among the pile of Pennywise's 'trophies'.
* KillTheCutie: Georgie is introduced as an adorable, sweet-natured little boy who idolizes his big brother. Then he's brutally dismembered and eaten by Pennywise.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Although he is by no means the only child Pennywise has killed and eaten, his death results in Bill getting involved with the other Losers and them discovering the truth about Pennywise.
* PosthumousCharacter: He appears numerous times after his disappearance, but these are all Pennywise impersonating him to torment Bill.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His encounter with Pennywise kicks the entire plot into motion.
* [[SensitiveGuyandManlyMan Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: The Sensitive Guy to Bill's Manly Man.
* TooDumbToLive: Averted. Like in the other adaptations, he refuses to take things from strangers, doesn't relax until Pennywise gives his name and an excuse for being in the sewers. While Pennywise shares a brief friendly chat and a giggle with Georgie, Georgie is otherwise very wary of Pennywise and very reluctantly tries to retrieve the paper boat from the drooling, wall-eyed sewer clown.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Georgie adores Bill and is extremely cute in appearance and personality, and gets brutally killed and eaten by Pennywise.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pennywise tempts him with popcorn.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Megan Charpentier (teenager), Juno Renaldi (adult)

-->''"You in there by yourself, Beaver-ly? Or are half the boys in there as well, huh slut?"''

A student at Derry High and a pharmacy assistant, as well as Beverly Marsh's main tormentor.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Greta Bowie, the book character Greta Keene is based on is a snooty rich girl, but she merely ignores Beverly and doesn't bully her actively. She doesn't write "loser" on Eddie's cast either.
* AlphaBitch: She seems to be the head one at Derry High. She at least has two girls trailing after her.
* CompositeCharacter: With Marcia, who was the AlphaBitch who bullied Bev in the book. This leaves the actual Marcia in the film as just a blank slate alongside Sally.
* DecompositeCharacter: Overlaps with CompositeCharacter. In the book, it's Mr. Keene himself who tells Eddie that his medicines are placebos. In the movie she tells him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first scene is of her and her posse bullying Bev by dumping wet garbage on her, and even before that she rudely shoves one of the Losers out of the way.
* FutureLoser: [[spoiler:In ''Chapter Two'', she's still working at her father's pharmacy and even wearing the same hairstyle and clothes, with an even more disinterested attitude about everything around her.]]
* HateSink: Every scene with Greta serves just to showcase what a snotty, nasty little witch she is. Most of the audience was just aching for IT to turn her into his next meal. [[KarmaHoudini Sadly it never happens.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In her first scene, she torments Bev and has her minions dump wet garbage on her. In the second, she seems to be a little nicer (if still abrasive) when she offers to sign Eddie's cast... only to write 'loser' on it.
* KarmaHoudini: She is the only major Jerkass character in the entire film who doesn't suffer any dose of LaserGuidedKarma from the Losers Club or IT. Downplayed as never making it out of the small town she grew up in or having a real career whilst all of her favorite victims grow up to become wealthy and successful means she didn't exactly win in the end.
* LittleMissSnarker: Seems incapable of talking to anyone without saying something sarcastic or insulting. It's a quality that she doesn't outgrow 27 years later, unfortunately.
* MythologyGag: Eddie is excited when she signs his cast. In the book he has a crush on her.
* TheResenter: It's implied that the reason she bullies Bev is because she's envious of her beauty and the attention she gets from the boys at school.
* SlutShaming: Does this to Bev constantly.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only has a few scenes in the film, but her first scene not only introduces Bev, it also establishes her to be a victim of constant SlutShaming throughout Derry starting with Greta tormenting her, while her second pivotal scene- where she reveals to Eddie about the placebos- helped him realize how his own mother lied to him about his medication, pushing him to stand up to her.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the book, she dies in a horrific car crash at the age of eighteen, and Pennywise uses her corpse to torment Eddie. In the film, she's alive and well still working at her father's pharmacy to the present day. [[spoiler:But Pennywise still uses her form of her younger self to torment Beverly in the climax.]]
* StaticCharacter: There is virtually no change in personality from her preteen self to her adult self.

* AscendedExtra: Sort of. She makes a couple of appearances in the movie (as opposed to the novel, where she's only mentioned). However, these are [[spoiler: IT's illusions.]]
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Bill and Richie find her mangled upper torso at the Neibolt House - though it's really just an illusion.
** [[spoiler:The bottom half appears during the Neibolt House battle in ''Chapter Two''.]]
* HopeSpot: In Neibolt House, Bill and Richie open the door marked "Not Scary At All", and open up to a pitch black room where they hear Betty Ripsom's voice asking where her shoe is (they had found it earlier in the sewers). Thinking she is alive, they turn on the light, revealing her mangled torso. Obviously, she does not need shoes anymore.
* PosthumousCharacter: She was [[KilledOffScreen killed by IT months before the main part of the movie begins]]. All her onscreen appearances in the movie are illusions created by IT.
* UndeadChild: IT assumes the form of a zombie Betty (along with several other of its victims) when hunting Patrick Hockstetter in the sewer.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"You worry me, Bevvie. You worry me a lot."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Stephen Bogaert

-->''"I know what's in boys' minds when they look at you Bevvie. I know it all too well."''

Beverly Marsh's single father, a janitor.
----
* AbusiveParents: He behaves lecherously towards Bev, his own daughter, to the point of openly lusting after her, and before the climax of the film, he tries to rape her.
** He also openly blames her for [[spoiler:her mother's suicide]], and uses this to bully her into furthering his incestuous desires.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Goes from being a HotBlooded {{Jerkass}} in the miniseries to a creepy SoftSpokenSadist in the movie.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Alvin was no saint in the book nor the miniseries, and was actually much angrier and more prone to physical violence. However, he did seem to struggle with his desires (in the worst way possible) whereas here, he seems rather at ease with his incestuous longings. There were also moments in the book where he could be truly loving and kind to Beverly and the miniseries removes any of his incestuous feelings to him simply being overprotective. It could have something to do with his wife having died.
* AssholeVictim: Beverly knocks him out cold when he tries to rape her.
* BusCrash: In ''Chapter Two'', Mrs. Kersh tells Beverly that Alvin passed away in the 27 year TimeSkip between the two films.
* CreepyMonotone: He speaks in a flat, creepily intimate voice that could draw a comparison to IT; both of them are predators.
* GroinAttack: Beverly kicks him in the groin when he tries to rape her.
* HateSink: Easily the most despicable adult in the entire film. He has little to no characterization outside of being a twisted, incestuous man.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: One of Beverly's flashbacks in ''Chapter Two'' shows him mourning over a picture of his late wife, a moment where Alvin becomes ''almost'' sympathetic... until he turns around and viciously blames Beverly for her mother's death, using it as an excuse to further abuse her.
* OverprotectiveDad: Subverted. At first glance seems this way, until he starts ''sniffing her hair...'' Even worse, he's not overprotective of her in regards to boys because he's worried, but because he's [[{{Squick}} jealous]].
* ParentalIncest: He has sexual feelings towards his own daughter, looks through her underwear drawer, and may or may not have acted on them already. He tries to rape Beverly towards the end, but she escapes and bashes him over the head with a toilet lid.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Speaks with a CreepyMonotone while being an AbusiveDad towards Bev.
* SuddenlyShouting: ''Chapter Two'' finally shows him in a flashback raising his voice two times towards Beverly akin to that of Alvin in the miniseries in contrast to usually being a SoftSpokenSadist with a CreepyMonotone.
* TranquilFury: Towards the end of the movie when he confronts Bev about the poem Ben wrote her that she had stashed away in her underwear drawer, asking her if she's been doing "womanly things" with the boys. What makes it even scarier is that he not only sounds calm, but also like a [[ParentalIncest jealous lover]].

[[folder:Mrs. Kaspbrak]]
!!Sonia Kaspbrak
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasprak.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"You know how bad your allergies get."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Mollie Jane Atkinson

Eddie Kaspbrak's overprotective mother.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When she makes Eddie come and kiss her in her first scene, Richie asks if he can have one too as Eddie ushers him outside and she gives a small chuckle about it.
* AdultFear: While her methods to protect Eddie are extreme, she isn't entirely wrong in wanting to protect him. The children of Derry go missing or are often found dead and she only isolates Eddie because she found him with a broken arm.
* FatBitch: Extremely overweight and rather unpleasant, keeping Eddie under her thumb and isolating him from his friends (at one point calling Beverly a [[SlutShaming dirty]] girl).
* HateSink: Downplayed, but she doesn't have a FreudianExcuse like in the book.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Whereas most of the other adults in Derry would rather forget about the child mortality rate (among the other horrors that go on in town), Mrs. Kaspbrak flips it [[MyBelovedSmother to the other extreme]] and tries to keep her son as safe as possible, even if it's to his own detriment. The way she begs and pleads with Eddie to stay safe with her after he discovers all his medications are placebos, it seems that while she may not know exactly what's wrong with Derry, she definitely knows that ''[[ProperlyParanoid something]]'' isn't right.
* MyBelovedSmother: Keeps tabs on literally ''everything'' her son does, where he goes, and whom he hangs out with. While she doesn't seem to mind the other boys coming over to her home (the better to keep an eye on Eddie, after all), when Eddie does venture off with them she sends him off with a fanny pack filled with medications and first aid supplies. She also gives the stink eye to Bev when they bring an injured Eddie back home, calling her a "dirty girl" and mouthing off that "she knows what she gets up to with these boys".
* MunchausenSyndrome: Keeps Eddie under her thumb by tricking him into thinking he needs medicine, and giving him placebos instead.
* TheParanoiac: She is a delusional paranoiac who brings herself to 'protect her son from the world,' even it it means to trick him into thinking he needs medicine by taking placebos.
* SlutShaming: Does this to Beverly, calling her a "dirty girl" and believing what the kids around town, falsely, say about her.
* VillainousBreakdown: When Eddie finds out all his medicine is fake and stands up to her, she runs out of the house after him, screaming and sobbing for him to come back.

[[folder:Officer Bowers]]
!!Officer Oscar "Butch" Bowers
[[quoteright:306:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/officer_bowers.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Stuart Hughes

->''"Look at him now boys. Nothing like a little fear to make a paper man crumble."''

Henry Bowers father, an officer in the Derry P.D.
----
* AbusiveParents: He shoots a gun at Henry's feet, terrifying him into tears and shown by a deleted scene beats his son at home.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Goes from being a farmer in the book to a police officer in the 2017 film.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the novel, Butch was a racist, anti-Semitic, sexist douchebag who had a feud with the Hanlons. He also shows signs of being [[AxCrazy legitimately and dangerously insane]] and prone to outbursts of violent rage; beating his wife to near-death, attacking his son's friends and killing the Hanlons' farm animals. Furthermore, he seems to encourage Henry's own psychotic behavior to the point of rewarding him for killing Mike's dog. In the film, Butch is still a violent abuser and the cause of his son's actions but he doesn't express any bigoted attitudes nor does he seem mentally unstable, and for all his faults he seems to disapprove of his son's behavior.
* AssholeVictim: The deleted scene where he's shown to beat his son makes it hard to feel any sympathy for him when Henry murders him in his sleep.
* CoolShades: He's seen with a pair of shades in the beginning of the movie.
* TheGlassesComeOff: When Henry and his friends start bullying and threatening the Losers within his vicinity, he takes off his sunglasses, [[KnowWhenToFoldThem causing the Bowers gang to back off]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: He intimidates Henry from a distance when he catches his son bullying while on-duty; and intervenes when Henry attempts to shoot a cat with his gun, and strongly disapproves of his son using a gun at all not to mention he is a police officer trying to help Derry citizens. Unfortunately, he relies on [[AbusiveParents physical abuse]] and threatening his son with a gun rather than provide any decent parenting.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: His abuse and humiliation of his cruel son, Henry, initially seems to be PayEvilUntoEvil. However its revealed Butch's abuse is part of the reason for Henry's demented crimes, making it this trope instead.
* RabidCop: While still in uniform, he catches Henry trying to shoot a cat with his M1911 pistol and punishes him by shooting at Henry's feet to frighten him into submission.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** He doesn't do much in the movie, but his brutal death at his own son's hands proves to show how deep Henry is under the influence of IT.
** The way he punishes his son coupled with how he beats him shows he may be the cause of Henry's actions.
* TranquilFury: When he finds Henry using his gun, Butch only raises his voice once but is ''very'' clearly enraged. He proceeds to let his actions speak for him.
* WeHardlyKnewYou: Appears in two scenes, one without dialogue, before Henry kills him.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He seems to highly disprove of Henry's actions, intimidating him to leave Bill alone, and later firing several rounds at Henry (though missing on purpose) in order to make him look scared in front of his friends as punishment for taking his gun and trying to shoot a cat. All this does is drive Henry's psychopathy harder until Henry murders him in his sleep, before going to try and murder the Losers.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/keenesitmovie.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Well how about that, you look just like Lois Lane."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Joe Bostick

The local pharmacist.
----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Is a gruff but well-meaning pharmacist in the book and a creep in the movie.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original book, he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. In the movie he's a creep and an implied hebephile. Also, book Mr. Keene tells Eddie his medicine are placebos, whereas movie Mr. Keene seems content with keeping the lie going.
* DecompositeCharacter: His role in the book as telling Eddie his medicines are placebos is given to his pharmacy assistant and daughter, Greta.
* DirtyOldMan: Just look at the other examples.
* FatBastard: Notably well-fed, and a complete creep.
* {{Gonk}}: He has not aged well over the course of 27 years, and in ''Chapter Two'' is shown to be a tired old man with dried-up, cracked skin, and still with a gross personality to boot.
* HateSink: A liar, a creep and an overall bad man. Sadly [[KarmaHoudini he never gets any comeuppance]], and he's still alive (assuming it isn't Pennywise taking his form) twenty-seven years later with his perverted nature utterly unchanged.
* {{Slimeball}}: He acts in a perverse manner toward Beverly. You can practically see the edges of the screen thicken with slime when he oozes into frame.

[[folder:The Denbroughs]]
!!Zack & Sharon Denbrough
->'''Portrayed by:''' Geoffrey Pounsett & Pip Dwyer

The parents of George and Bill.
----
* BlameGame: Focuses more on blaming Bill for Georgie's death than providing support for him.
* DemotedToExtra: They were hardly large characters in the original book, but here their role is diminished even further. Only Zack gets a speaking part.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Zack sternly tells Bill that Georgie's dead, despite Bill believing him to be still alive. However, given that Georgie was shown getting his arm torn off and bleeding profusely before being dragged off by Pennywise in the prologue, it is very practical that Georgie would not survive in a year without proper medical treatment. Bill did eventually realize Georgie was DeadAllAlong and that his father had been trying to convince him to accept it.
* NoSympathy: Their strategy for dealing with Bill obsessing over his disappeared brother is to chew him out for his delusion that Georgie is still alive. Zack's anger towards Bill likely stemmed from he and Sharon blaming him for Georgie's death and wanting him not only accept he's dead, but to accept responsibility as they see him thinking he's alive as a way to escape guilt. [[spoiler:When's it's revealed in ''Chapter Two'' that Bill faked his illness at the time of Georgie's death, you cannot blame their parents being angry at Bill and emotionally distancing themselves from him afterwards.]]

[[caption-width-right:190:''"There are two places you can be in this world. You can be out here, like us, or you can be in there, like them."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/StevenWilliams

The stern grandfather of Mike Hanlon, who runs a nearby abattoir.
----
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Mike hints Leroy may have encountered IT in the past. He's even played by [[Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday Creighton Duke]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: His strangely stern lecture toward Mike (saying that you are either the sheep ready to be slaughtered and eaten, or you are the butcher ready to kill to survive without hesitation) comes to new light later when Mike mentions that Leroy is aware of IT's existence. Leroy was training Mike to kill to survive, in case IT targeted Mike. There's also the issue that they are black and Derry once had a racist cult that burned down a nightclub, so he may want his grandson to be able to defend himself against human threats as well.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son (Mike's father) was burned to death in a house fire alongside his wife. His insistence that Mike learn to fight and defend himself likely stemmed from the possibility that the house fire was not merely an accident, but a deliberate act of arson done by local racists.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unlike most adults, Leroy is aware of IT's existence and wants to prepare Mike to fight IT, as well as human threats, such as the Bowers Gang.
* RetiredBadass: Mike hints that Leroy is fully aware of IT's existence. Combined with Leroy teaching Mike to overcome his hesitation to kill if needed heavily implies that Leroy fought against IT in the past.
* SternTeacher: His chiding Mike comes off as mean at first, until it's discovered he was only doing so to prepare Mike against IT.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Ari Cohen

The father of Stanley Uris.
----
* NightmareFetishist: {{Implied|Trope}}, since the SpookyPainting he keeps in his office is his own son's deepest fear.
* SternTeacher: Is this towards Stan while preparing him for his Bar Mitzvah. However, his [[ThePerfectionist perfectionism]] stems mostly from concern over how Stan's performance will reflect on him as a rabbi than from care for Stan.

[[folder:Adrian Mellon]]
!!Adrian Mellon
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/XavierDolan

A gay man and the victim of a brutal hate crime which kicks off the new cycle that brings back the Adult losers.
----
* CampGay: In contrast to Don, at least; he wears flamboyant clothing and has slightly camp mannerisms, which he exaggerates when mocking the bullies.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Savagely beaten by a gang of homophobic teens, then EatenAlive by Pennywise.
* DeadpanSnarker: Almost every word out of his mouth is gloriously snarky, even while being attacked.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when beaten to a pulp, he still mocks his attackers.
* EatenAlive: His fate.
* {{Foil}}: To Eddie. Both are immature, snarky asthmatics who get attacked by violent thugs and ultimately [[spoiler:killed by Pennywise while the man that loves them is ForcedToWatch]], but Adrian is openly and explicitly gay and in a committed relationship, while Eddie remains AmbiguouslyGay and ObliviousToLove. Moreover, Adrian's asthma is presumably real, while Eddie's is psychosomatic.
* ManChild: Downplayed, but he's introduced enthusiastically beating a bunch of pre-teens at a carnival game.
* NiceGuy: Gives a toy he wins at the Derry Town Days festival to a young girl.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: His death prompts Mike to summon the rest of the Losers back to Derry.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Don's blue, as he's much more combative towards the bullies and openly mocks them even as they're beating the shit out of him.
* SacrificialLamb: His death is what brings the Losers back to Derry.

----
* {{Foil}}: To Richie. [[spoiler:Both are somewhat StraightGay characters forced to watch as the man they love is killed by Pennywise, but Don is out and proud in a happy relationship while Richie is closeted and miserable.]]
* ForcedToWatch: Pennywise deliberately ''waits until he's watching'' before taking a bite out of Adrian.
* ProperlyParanoid: His protests that he wants to get out of Derry due to the town's toxic atmosphere aren't exactly unfounded, considering what happens next.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Adrian's red; he drags Adrian away from the bullies at first, and tries to defuse the situation on the bridge before it can escalate.
* StraightGay: Compared to Adrian, at least, he doesn't have many outwardly camp mannerisms.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Isn't seen or even mentioned again after the opening, despite being one of the few adults other than the Losers aware of Pennywise.

* {{Sadist}}: Particularly towards women.

Eddie's domineering wife, who bears a striking resemblance to his mother.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the novel, she's more of a pathetic figure, but she's portrayed as quite shrewish here, and berates Eddie into saying he loves her.
* FlatWhat: Her reaction when Eddie says "I love you, Mommy" to him over the phone.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Takes the trope to its logical extreme, as she's played by the same actress as Eddie's mother.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: This can be inferred, although we never actually see them together on screen. At one point, Richie makes a crack about Eddie having married a woman "ten times his own body mass" that he doesn't refute.
* WidowWoman: While she is never seen again, it's very likely she ended up as this following [[spoiler:her husband Eddie's death]].

* NiceGirl: From the little we see of their relationship it appears that she and Stan are genuinely HappilyMarried, in contrast to the other Losers. She's also understanding when Beverly phones her to confirm [[spoiler:Stan's death]], and takes the time to mail his letter out to the rest of the Losers.
