43 Adorbs 'Hunger Games' Cast Pics Over The Years

by Caitlyn Callegari

Are you really bad at moving on from fictional worlds and characters? Well, you’re in good company. So am I. In this case, I’m experiencing some major feels now that The Hunger Games saga is officially over. Not that I won’t go and see Mockingjay, Part 2 about five or six more times, because I totally will. But the fact that it’s all over does make me nostalgic. I mean, think about how far we’ve all come since 2012, even though it doesn’t seem all that long ago.

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson have sort of grown up along with us fans, haven’t they? I mean, if the photos of their progression both physically and professionally from four years of promoting the films are any indication, the three leads and the rest of the Hunger Games cast have really become the sophisticated adults we probably like to think we are, too. But that doesn’t mean they’ve lost their awesomely silly rapport with one another. There's no doubt this cast has the most collectively lighthearted demeanor and it shines through in years worth of pictures.

Check out 43 of the best Hunger Games cast moments from 2012 to present day below. You know you want to (even though it may make you shed a tear or 12):
