<P> Holly is portrayed by Peyton R. List . </P> <P> Chirag Gupta is one of Greg's schoolmates and a minor character in the books . He is characterized by his short stature . Although he and Greg are well - acquainted and generally amiable to one another, Greg started the "Invisible Chirag" prank in Rodrick Rules . During the summer the Gupta family were to move away but an unexplained alteration in their plans changed this . As a result, Chirag's classmates teasingly ignore his existence or presence for days on end, which aggravates and shocks him . Though Chirag has apparently forgiven Greg and his fellow schoolmates for concocting the prank, it is mentioned in one book that he takes advantage of his family's non-observance of the Christmas holiday, and no obligation to behave for Santa Claus, to pick on Greg . </P> <P> In the movie adaptions, Chirag's role is enhanced and he is a close friend of Greg and Rowley . He also plays a considerably more prominent role in these films, appearing in adaptions of books in which he is absent or hardly mentioned . He is depicted as being Indian - American . He is portrayed by Karan Brar . </P> <P> Patricia "Patty" Farrell is a minor character who shares an intense rivalry with Greg, which is showcased on a few occasions . It is implied she is a hardworking but sanctimonious and domineering student . She earns Greg's animosity after she suggests a map of the United States displayed in the classroom be covered during a geography quiz . Greg had planned to cheat using the map and this causes great difficulties for him, and makes him agitated . Motivated by his lust for revenge, he volunteers to play a tree in the school's upcoming production of "The Wizard of Oz" after viewing the movie adaption for the first time . He believes the role entails having to bombard the character of Dorothy Gale (whom Patty would be portraying in the play) with apples, only to learn that this scene was deleted for the school production . He winds up re-enacting this scene, despite the script, sending his parents into a rage . She has yet to play quite as significant a role in the book series again . She has become something of a minor recurring character whose appearances are rare . </P>
