I felt sorry for Harriet


I felt sorry for the character of Harriet in Wild Child; I wish the director could have considered Harriet redeeming herself and her and Poppy being reconciled. Perhaps Harriet earning Poppy's respect?

She was horrable!

The head lady was so quick to forgive the spoiled brat Poppy, but didn't even give Harriet a chance and Harriet had put so much of her heart and soul into the school. That is by far the most irritating factor. It proves that once again, if you're pretty and rich that people will bend over backwards for you.

Harriet tried to burn the school down so that she could frame Poppy. Initially, Poppy had put the fire out that she'd started that night and she didn't have the intention of hurting anybody. Then Harriet started another fire to make it look like Poppy had done it all.

Naw. Gotta have a baddy and they gotta fall at the end - hard.

I kind of agree. Harriet was horrible, but there was something vulnerable about her. I thought Ruby (Poppy's friend from back home) was worse.
