How is Haymitch different in the book and movie?

In The Hunger Games books, Haymitch is a disheveled, paunchy, often drunken man with curly dark hair and grey eyes, while the movie (portrayed by Woody Harrelson) makes him slimmer, blonde, and bluer-eyed, though he still embodies the core characteristics of being a broken, sarcastic mentor, with the film casting him as a better fit for the role despite physical changes. Book Haymitch is also more overtly authoritative and drunk (falling off stage), whereas the movie's portrayal emphasizes his cynical but ultimately caring nature through performance, with some key book moments like his own Quarter Quell omitted or changed for the film.
