It is said in the first film that Rowley went to Guatemala, although Guatemala is in Central America.

In the 2017 adaptation of The Long Haul, the Heffleys gained the pig in a similar way to the 9th book. After causing havoc in a hotel room, and nearly leaping onto a busy highway, the Heffleys decide to get rid of the pig by donating it to a petting zoo, much to Manny's dismay. Later on, when Manny can speak fluent Spanish, he directs a helpful towing company to the petting zoo, reuniting him with the pig. Franklin Wayne "Frank" Heffley Jr. is depicted to be Greg's overreactive but well-meaning father. He is about 42 years old and is interested in U.S. history, with his replica of a Civil War battlefield serving as a recurring plot point in the series. [2] In the books, Frank despises Rowley, [2] and does not appreciate Greg's skill at video games. He is also shown to loathe heavy metal [1] and adolescents. [3] Frank tries to toughen Greg up and threatens to send him to a military academy in The Last Straw, although ultimately this does not come to fruition, much to Greg's relief.

Holly Elizabeth Hills (known as Piper Elizabeth Matthews in the online book) is one of Greg's classmates; a girl who primarily serves as Greg's unrequited romantic interest and also Heather Hills' younger sister. She is the youngest daughter of Mr. Hills and Mrs. Hills. A minor character, she earns a prominent role in The Last Straw as the object of Greg's most recent infatuation. He is continuously motivated to impress her to no avail. Virtually oblivious to Greg's existence or identity (Greg stops trying to impress her after she mistakes him for Fregley), she appears to take an interest in Rowley's sweetness, judging by an enthusiastic message which she had signed in his yearbook (as opposed to the note that she had written for the envious Greg). She seldom appears afterward. Greg's interest in her is seemingly damaged by events such as this and he starts showing an interest in other girls, including Holly's older sister Heather.

He graduated Brown University in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in modern culture and media/history. Rowley possesses a pure soul and deeply believes in the underlying affection Greg has for him.

But Rowley has agreed to tell Greg's story along the way, too. (After all, Greg says one day he will be rich and famous and the world will need to know how he managed it).Joe Heffley has three children, who all appear to be a bit older than Manny, and are Greg's cousins. Their names and ages are unknown. They all call Frank "Aunt Fwank"; Frank believes that Joe specifically told them to call him that.
