PRIM-
Prim is a very significant charcter in The Hunger Games because she is such an important person in the main character, Katniss' life. Whatever Katniss does she is constantly thinking of how it will affect her little sister Prim, and is always worrying about if Prim will be okay. She even promised Prim that she would try to win the Hunger Games so they could be reunited at the end.
This also affects many parts of the story such as how Katniss loves Rue, a competitor in the hunger games. Katniss trusts and looks out for Rue because she reminds her so much of her little sister back home.
CAPITOL
The root of all incidents is the Capitol. All of Katniss' problems or anyone else's problems revolve around this one city. The capitol is who all of panam work for, each district has a certain thing they make for the capitol for example, District 12 makes coal. They are all kept inside the fencing of their distict and if they tresspass out of it, death is almost always a guarantee.
The Capitol has control over all of the districts and reminds of this each year by taking 2 children (aged 12-18) from each one and putting them in an arena to fight till death. Without the Capitol, the Hunger Games would not even exist, people's destiny's would not be controlled, and people would be able to move freely from district to district.
Everything in the story revolves around the Capitol, making it a significant place in the book.

Film Adaption- Hunger Games
Difference between the movie and the book of "The Hunger Games"
There are many differences between the book and the movie of "The Hunger Games"
To start off with, in the book when Katniss volunteers as tribute for the Hunger Games, many people come to visit her before she leaves such as, her mother and sister, Gale, Madge, and also Peeta's father. In the movie, they leave out the visit of Madge and Peeta's father. I think they decided to cut this part because Madge and Peeta's father are not significant characters in the book compared to her family and Gale and you do not hear much about their relations with Katnniss in the first place, therefore their visit to see her is not as important to include.
Also, In the book Madge is the one who gives Katniss her Mockingjay pin. In the movie it is Prim who gives her sister the pin instead once again mostly because Madge is not a significant character.
Some other scenes I think are cut from the book because Katniss is mostly thinking about the incidents in her own thoughts and are not further talked about out loud. In the movie they would not be shown such as Haymitch falling off the stage.
When the end of the hunger games is close they speed up the ending of the games by bringing in the cat-like animals in a day sooner then in the book. They leave out when all the water goes dry and they are forced to the lake where the attack happens. Instead the animals come out of nowhere the last night that they are hunting.
In the book, the injuries seem much more intense and Katniss and Peeta appear closer to death then they are in the movie, which also allows them to cut the part right after the games end when Peeta is nearly dead and they do surgery on both characters. This keeps the movie flowing faster near the end.
