Sunrise on the Reaping,’ the second ‘Hunger Games’ prequel, has major connections to Katniss Everdeen’s trilogy

In the very first chapter, you’re introduced to two of Haymitch’s friends from District 12: Burdock and Asterid. They don’t play huge roles in the story of the book but die-hard Hunger Games fans will likely piece together that they are the eventual parents of Katniss Everdeen.

Sunrise on the Reaping would focus on Haymitch Abernathy's backstory, fans of the franchise have been plagued with one question: Who will play young Haymitch in the movie adaptation? And, well, let the casting games begin.
