Abraham "Abe" Hall is a minor character who is only mentioned in the original book. Prior to the events of the original book, Hall was the last person in Westmore Middle School to get the original Cheese Touch that originated with Darren Walsh, failing to pass it on to anybody else, as no one would even come near him for the rest of the school year. During the summer, Abe moved away to California and took the Cheese Touch with him, ending its presence at school. In the online book, Rowley is said to own a PlayStation with 42 games. However, in the movie, Rowley is shown to have a Wii, meaning that he possibly upgraded his console. Darren and Marcus Woodley are two brothers who always get into fights. They first appeared in The Last Straw, where they went camping with Frank. Marcus wets his pants after getting hit in the stomach with a football by Darren. Marcus bites Darren for laughing at him, resulting in Darren having to go to the emergency room. The brothers return in Big Shot, where they play on a basketball team with Greg. Benjamin "Benjy" Heffley is Greg's cousin, whose parents are Greg's Uncle Tony and Aunt Patricia. The last time Greg saw Benjy, he could only say "No!" or "Shut up!", respectively. Now he can speak in full sentences and read chapter books but is still not potty trained and usually wears a diaper. Benjy is asked to be a reader at Uncle Gary's wedding to Sonja – a position that Greg had initially expected to fill. Georgia is Greg's second cousin who has a very loose tooth that has been in her mouth for years and always stalls when people ask if they can pull it out.

For many, Rowley (Want to come over to my house and play?) Jefferson, Greg Heffley’s best friend, is the real hero of the series. A character shaped by his over-protective parents who are certainly not fond of Greg, Rowley is a skilled manipulator who often gets others into trouble while craftily avoiding the blame himself. Initially coming across as somewhat of an immature idiot, he often displays Jekyll and Hyde-like characteristics, being able to move effortlessly from antagonist to caring peacemaker. At first sight the overweight and overly-protected innocent, first impressions prove deceptive, as he often shows real strength of character when in stressful situations.

[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.

He shows little interest in sports until Dog Days, where he is found playing tennis with Rowley and golf with a caddy. Rowley has what Greg considers strange interests for his age and gender, such as loving a singer for "six-year-old girls" named Joshie and action figures Greg believes are for younger kids. Rowley is also the owner of the comic strip Zoo Wee Mama!. [1] Rowley claims that Greg had nothing to do with the comic strip in the first book, a rare antagonistic move from him. Preston Mudd is one of Greg's classmates. He is said to have been the best player in the basketball unit of gym class during sixth grade at Westmore Middle School. Unfortunately, when his name was displayed as "P. Mudd" on the athlete of the month poster, this led to his classmates making fun of him, calling him "Pee Mud". Joshie is a European singer (possibly British) who is Rowley's favorite idol. Greg believes that Joshie is for six-year-old girls, but Rowley ignores him, saying that Greg is jealous because he was the one who "discovered" Joshie. However, despite Rowley's opinion, Joshie appears to be a singer that is mainly idolized by females (specifically 6-year-old girls).
