Bianca's NamesEdit

Bianca Castafiore has trouble remembering Haddock's last name and has created many new names, below is a list:
Addock, Capslock, Kapok, Bangkok, Bartok, Fatstock, Drydock, Hopscotch, Stopcock, Hammock, Paddock, Hassock, Havoc, Maggot, Bootblack, Balzac, Bedsock, Padlock, Hatbox, Stockpot, Harrock, and Hemlock.

One reason why Bianca Castafiore always has trouble saying Haddock's last name correctly may be because when they first met in the book The Calculus Affair, Haddock was unable to say his name correctly:

Castafiore: Aha, you little flatterer, so you've come to congratulate me, with this... fisherman... Mr? ... Mr?...

Haddock: Er... Hoddack...er.... Haddad... Excuse me, Haddock.

In Tintin and the Picaros, Professor  Calculus calls Captain Haddock "Hatpin" and Tintin "Tin Tack."

And he will say it,

"Tintack!...Capock Hatpin!...Terrible news!...Dreadful! 

DrunknessEdit

Captain Haddock was a drunkard, Which is one of his weaknesses

TriviaEdit

• Haddock and Tintin seem to portray a father-son, close relationship. This is shown many times throughout the series, such as letting Tintin stay in the spare room in his house and in "Tintin in Tibet," when Tintin is bickering with the Captain about going to find his friend, the Captain says, "Fine, go. But don't ask me to come because the answer is no." Yet in the next scene, we can see the Captain getting off a plane with Tintin.
• While Haddock is still portrayed as a drunkard in the Spielberg film, he is apparently in more control of it than he is in the book: for example, he prevents himself from drinking a glass of wine at one point.
