Håkan Bråkan
Encyclopedia
Håkan Andersson, nicknamed Håkan Bråkan, is the younger brother of Sune
, the main character in the Swedish Sune series
, a series of books. In these books, Sune find Håkan very annoying and gives him the nickname "Håkan Bråkan" which roughly translates to Håkan the Troublemaker. In December 2003, Håkan became the main character in julkalendern
on SVT
, a TV-series with the same name.
The Christmas show featured Håkan as the protagonist. Contrary to the belief of Sune, Håkan is actually a very nice and thoughtful 7 years old boy. He is quite ingenious and does lots of pranks that usually puts him or others in a tight spot but this is seldom his intended purpose. When Håkan's mother Karin is doing all of the Christmas chores, she becomes so stressed she eventually winds up in a mental hospital, and this is the main story of the TV show since Christmas is ending and there is still no Christmas presents or candy. Chaos ensues.
Håkan's rather stupid father Rudolf is by his side in this and throughout the show he tries his best to make Christmas perfect, but fails miserably. He and Håkan try to bring the mother home from a crazed doctor at the mental institution who is obsessed with keeping the mother there and not having to celebrate Christmas alone.
The series got quite bad reviews, mainly because the scenario was deemed to be unrealistic. It was also considered a bit depressing for a TV show aimed at kids. Many said it was also too vulgar, a few examples of this are when Håkan throws up at a Lucia show, and when harasses his teacher Veronica and felt her breasts.
