Henry Wiggins (voiced by Samantha Reynolds) is the third oldest of five children (himself, two older brothers and two younger sisters). When he was just five years old, Henry discovered that eating his mother's mushy carrots gave him the ability to make wishes come true. Once eaten, Henry can make one wish come true. However, being only eight years old, his unusual wishes are often played out with unexpected consequences and his insatiable curiosity invariably spells disaster, but Henry also learns some of life's lessons along the way.
Henry shares his secret and misadventures with his best friend Fraidy Begonia (voiced by Tracey Moore), his faithful pet dog Margaret (voiced by Julie Lemieux), and Doris (voiced by Fiona Reid), a dragon who lives in Henry's closet. Other characters in the show include Henry's Uncle Neptune (voiced by Colin Fox), Ms. Pierre (also voiced by Fiona Reid), Henry's teacher and the anti-hero Darwin (also voiced by Julie Lemieux), an overweight bully who sometimes teases and picks on Henry.
