 Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka is the eccentric owner of the world's largest candy factory,
making candy and chocolate. Wonka holds a contest, hiding 5 Golden
Tickets within the wrappers of his chocolate bars, promising their finders a
tour of his factory and a lifelong supply of his creations.
Charlie Bucket

• Charlie is the protagonist of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Charlie is the last one to find a Golden Ticket. He is very kind and
brave, but also extremely poor. He lives with his mother, his father,
and his four bed-ridden grandparents. Charlie, being poor, doesn’t get
much food, which makes living near a chocolate factory hard. He also
loves chocolate.
Oompa-Loompas

• Oompa-Loompas are creatures from Loompa Land. They are the only
workers in Wonka’s chocolate factory. Wonka discovered them when
he traveled to Loompa Land. In Loompa Land, the Oompa-Loompas
were in constant danger from many different predators. Wonka offered
them jobs. They are paid in cocoa beans, which are their favorite food,
and were in short supply on the island.
Grandpa Joe

• Grandpa Joe is Charlie’s grandfather, Mr. Bucket’s father. He is the

oldest of the grandparents, with his age put at 96 and a half. He tells
Charlie many stories about Wonka’s factory and his secret worker, as
he shares the same love of Wonka chocolate that Charlie does.
Grandma Josephine

• Grandma Josephine is one of Charlie's four grandparents, married to

Grandpa Joe. She is the mother of Mr. Bucket.
Grandpa George

• Grandpa George is another of Charlie's grandparents, married to

Grandma Georgina. He is the father of Mrs. Bucket.

caps onto tubes of toothpaste. Though his job is modest, he works
extremely hard and cares deeply about his family.
Mrs. Bucket

• Mrs. Bucket, Charlie's mother, keeps the household running while Mr.
Bucket works long hours at the factory. She takes good care of all four
frail grandparents, and she is a loving mother to Charlie.
Augustus Gloop

• Gloop is incredibly greedy and the first child to find a Golden Ticket.
He is also the first child to fail Wonka’s tests. Gloop eats an
extraordinary amount of chocolate, so much that his mother says it
would have been impossible for him not to have eventually found a
Golden Ticket.
Veruca Salt

• Veruca is very spoiled. She is the second person to find a Golden

Ticket, and the third to leave Wonka’s factory. She has very little
familial respect and is a brat to everyone. Veruca also doesn’t care
about other’s property. She frequently bullies her parents into getting
things for her.
Violet Beauregarde

• Violet is a girl who can never stop chewing gum. She is the third child
to find a Golden Ticket and the second to be ejected from Wonka’s
factory. Violet is always chewing something and claims that she has
been chewing the same piece of gum for three months straight. She is
also very competitive and has won many gum chewing competitions.
Mike Teavee

• Mike, who loves to watch television, finds the fourth Golden Ticket.
He is also the last one to be ejected from the factory. Most adaptations
place him as being from America. Mike loves TV and electronics
much more than he likes people. In the novel, he loves only TV.
