The following table depicts the differences between the book and film adaptations of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Dahl also initially wrote an early draft of the screenplay for the first movie, although 30% of the final shooting script was rewritten by David Seltzer.

Item (sorted)	Book (origin of story) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory	1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory	2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Adult companions	Two permitted per child, but Charlie comes with one.	Only one permitted.	Only one permitted.
Appearance of Everlasting Gobstoppers	Look like green marbles.	Made up of many multicolored stars.	Look like red, yellow, green, and blue Super Balls.
Arthur Slugworth, Wonka's rival candy maker	Mentioned early by Grandpa Joe in his account of Wonka's factory, and again outside the Inventing Room when Wonka says that Slugworth and the other rival chocolate makers would give their front teeth to have three minutes inside.	Described by Grandpa Joe as the worst of the spies. Although he is not seen, Slugworth's candy bars are sold in Bill's candy shop. An agent of Wonka's impersonates Slugworth, offering the golden ticket finders 10,000 of some unknown currency for helping him find the secret recipe to the Everlasting Gobstopper. The main "villain" of the film.	Selling candy balloons on the street; not mentioned again.
Augustus Gloop's appearance	Judging from the illustrations in all releases from the book, he is dressed in a purple shirt with tan pants.	A black suit.	A red striped sweater with blue jeans shorts.
Augustus Gloop's fate	Gets stuck in the pipe and blocks out all the chocolate. His father wonders how the pipe is big enough for Augustus to be trapped in; soon after, Augustus shoots up the pipe like a rocket. Is later thinned when squeezed through narrow pipes.	Gets stuck in the pipe and blocks out all the chocolate. Wonka tells everyone that Augustus will shoot up the pipe from all the pressure building up. Shoots up the pipe quickly thereafter. Final fate unknown. According to Wonka, however, Augustus turns out to be fine.	Gets stuck in the pipe, the pipe leaks out chocolate and Augustus shoots up the pipe. Then Augustus gets stuck again near the top of the pipe. The Oompa- Loompa song begins while he struggles around in the pipe. Near the end of the song he finally shoots up the rest of the way. Slightly thinned from being squeezed in through the pipe, but covered in chocolate.
Beginning	We meet the Bucket family.	We see the chocolate being made (with a somewhat bright, happy theme).	Willy Wonka is seen making chocolate, and placing the five golden tickets in five Wonka Bars, which are then shipped across the world (with a darker, more foreboding theme.)
The Big Day	The crowd makes comments about the five children. The children are so eager to get going the parents have trouble restraining them. A police cordon is used to protect the children from the crowd.	A band, newscasters, spectators waving flags representing the children's nationalities, and the children sit on a gold-decorated platform. Violet and Mike take advantage of the live television broadcasts; Violet to show off her gum and Mike to say hello to his friends. Veruca demands to go in first. Mrs. Gloop tells Augustus to save some room for later. Charlie and Grandpa Joe eagerly anticipate meeting Mr. Wonka.	The children and their chaperones speak nothing, except for Veruca expressing impatience and Mrs. Beauregarde telling Violet to keep her eyes on the prize. Crowd is kept at too far a distance behind the police cordon to make out details. They and the press observe the state of the four bad children as they leave the factory.
Boat ride	The boat is a huge hollowed-out pink boiled sweet, resembling a Viking longboat. The ride is very fast, with many doors along the way. Wonka, happy and excited during ride, recites a poem, which begins with "There's no earthly way of knowing which direction they are going!" Wonka offers mugs of chocolate to Charlie and Grandpa Joe, apparently out of compassion.	The boat is a blue and white paddle-boat, dubbed "Wonkatania." Ride is intense and scary. Psychedelic colors and strange images flash on the walls. Wonka appears frightening, softly sings poem at first, ends by shouting. Everyone screams out of fear, then suddenly the lights turn on and the boat is seen next to the Inventing Room. He doesn't offer chocolate via a ladle, but he offers a piece of candy to Mrs. Teavee for her seasickness. In a scene deleted from the movie, Wonka recites a scary poem about the uncertain direction of the boat.	Similar to book, although Wonka only says, "There's no knowing where they're going" in regards to the Oompa Loompa's rowing. They have a fast-paced ride through tunnels, but they do not scream and can see where they're going because there is light. Wonka offers a ladle of chocolate to Charlie, who shares it with Grandpa Joe.
Bucket family follows discoveries of Golden Tickets	Newspapers.	Television.	Newspapers and television.
Bucket family reacts to bad children	The grandparents express disgust at the four children, and their comments foreshadow the fates of Veruca and Violet. Charlie does not think Mr. Salt played it quite fair.	Charlie looks on Violet in disgust as he watches her on television.	The grandparents express disgust at Augustus, Veruca and Violet. Charlie says it was not fair that Veruca did not find the ticket herself. Grandpa George rages at Mike for gaining entry to a chocolate factory although he hates chocolate.
Bucket Shack	Shack has two rooms. Wonka crashes the elevator through the roof to collect the rest of Charlie's family. The shack is abandoned.	Probably a two-room shack as Charlie sleeps in a separate room from the grandparents. Its eventual fate is not mentioned and Wonka is not shown visiting the shack.	Two-storey shack. Wonka crashes elevator through the roof and Mr. Bucket repairs it. The entire shack is moved to the Chocolate Room, where Wonka shares meals with the Bucket family.
Business cards	None mentioned.	Mr. Beauregarde gives Wonka his card ("With Sam B, it's a guarantee"). Wonka looks at it with disinterest.	Mr. Salt gives Wonka his card before they enter the Nut Room and Wonka promptly tosses it away without looking at it.
Butterscotch and Buttergin	Mentioned on one of the doors that the party passes in the corridor; they can hear drunken Oompa-Loompas inside the room. Mr. Wonka says that butterscotch with soda and buttergin with tonic are popular among the Oompa-Loompas.	Mr. Salt notices them in the inventing room and inquires Mr. Wonka about them. Wonka replies by saying, "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."	Not mentioned.
Candy shop owner	Unnamed; fat man. Witnesses Charlie finding Golden Ticket in his shop.	Named Bill; skinny, white man. Does not witness Golden Ticket because Charlie opens the bar outside his shop.	Unnamed; fat, black man. Witnesses Charlie finding Golden Ticket in his shop.
Charlie's relationship with the other children	None mentioned, but Charlie is worried about Violet and Veruca after their exits.	Charlie gets on reasonably well Augustus and Violet but has little interaction with Mike and Veruca, except muttering exasperation at Veruca's last demand before her exit.	Violet and Augustus both express mean attitudes toward Charlie. Charlie has little interaction with Mike and Veruca.
Charlie proves worthy to be Wonka's heir	Is last remaining child on tour through being good while the other children misbehaved.	Passes the "big test" Wonka sets for each finder.	Rejects Wonka's offer the first time because it will mean separation from his family. Accepts offer the second time on condition his family comes with him.
Charlie's birthday present	Offers to share with family; family refuses.	Offers to share with family; family refuses. Receives a red handknitted scarf as an additional present, which he wears to the factory.	Offers to share with family; family refuses, but later accepts. Also, he opens his present the night before his birthday.
Charlie's dad	Loses job when cap-screw factory closes. Turns to shovelling snow.	Deceased.	Loses job when automated machines take over, but later gets a new job maintaining them.
Charlie's Golden Ticket	Charlie gets a bar for his birthday, no ticket. Grandpa Joe gives him a dime and he buys another, no ticket. He finds money on the street and buys a Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight bar, no ticket. He buys another Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight bar and finds the ticket.	Charlie gets a chocolate cake/round on his birthday and there is no ticket. Grandpa Joe gives back the tobacco money Charlie gave him to buy a candy bar; they both open it, but no ticket. Charlie finds some money, with which he buys a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar from Bill's candy store, and promptly devours it, although it has no ticket. He buys a regular bar for his Grandpa Joe, which contains the ticket.	Charlie gets a chocolate bar one day early for his birthday, no ticket; he then buys a chocolate bar using Grandpa Joe's secret hoard money. They open it up together but find nothing. Charlie buys only one candy bar at a Newsagent with money he finds on the street and finds the Golden Ticket inside. Bystanders offer Charlie money for his ticket; he initially wants to sell it to provide money for his family, but the shopkeeper (and later, Grandpa George) convinces him not to.
Charlie's location	Not stated, but most assume UK because of author. Versions published in the UK say that Charlie found a fifty-pence piece, further corroborating this. However, it is stated in the versions published in North America that Charlie found a dollar bill, indicating that the location could be or is somewhere in the United States or Canada in the North American version.	Uncertain: Charlie, his mom, Grandpa Joe and Wonka have American accents. However, Charlie's teacher, the candy shop owner and the mysterious tinker have British accents. Filmed in Munich for the expressed reason of making the location ambiguous. The director wanted it to be a "fantasy land".	Not stated, but assumed to be the UK based on visual clues and most characters' accents (though Willy Wonka has an American accent). Charlie pays for his chocolate bar with an £10 note, but two people offer dollars in exchange for the golden ticket. One with a British accent offers $50 and another with an American accent offers $500. Film makers have stated that the location was made ambiguous because it was never stated in the book.
Children accompanied by	Charlie accompanied by Grandpa Joe; all four bad children accompanied by both their mothers and their fathers.	Charlie: Grandpa Joe Augustus: Mother Mike: Mother Veruca: Father Violet: Father	Charlie: Grandpa Joe Augustus: Mother Mike: Father Veruca: Father Violet: Mother
Chocolate birds	Grandpa Joe describes small bird eggs made by Wonka which get smaller in one's mouth until a little sugary bird is sitting on the eater's tongue.	There is a room in which giant geese lay golden chocolate eggs. This could be a reference, but it is not mentioned otherwise.	Wonka gives Grandpa Joe a chocolate egg during the candystore flashback, which turns into a bird in his mouth.
Contract	None.	Wonka makes the children sign a huge contract with ever-shrinking letters. Later, he disqualifies them from their prizes because of their antics, as stated in the fine print. Part of a test.	None.
Contest announcement	Wonka sends a letter in the newspaper.	Children hear it on the radio; also described on TV (the Buckets own a black-and-white set).	Wonka sends dozens of mailmen through the streets, posting announcements on several lampposts.
Cornelia Prinzmetel, Violet Beauregarde's gum-chewing rival and best friend	Violet boasts at her newspaper interview of how she beat Cornelia Prinzmetel's gum-chewing record.	Violet makes similar boasts at her television interviews but teases Cornelia more than she does in the novel.	Not mentioned.
Crime committed in search for Golden Tickets (see also Fake Golden Ticket)	A famous gangster robs a bank and spends the loot on Wonka bars. The police find him tearing off the wrappers with a long dagger. A forged second Golden Ticket is produced.	Harold Curtis is kidnapped and the ransom is Mrs. Curtis's case of Wonka bars. A forged fifth Golden Ticket is produced.	None, but a forged fifth Golden Ticket is produced.
Date of the factory tour	Saturday, 1 February, 1964.	Friday, 1 October 1971.	Tuesday, 1 February 2005.
Discovery of the Oompa-Loompas	Described by Wonka and shown in an illustration.	Described by Wonka to the guests.	Described by Wonka to the guests and shown in a cut scene.
Everlasting Gobstoppers	Mentioned.	Major plot point. "Slugworth" wants a sample, and will pay a lot for one. Wonka gives each child one, and makes them promise that they will never give it to anyone else. After being told he is disqualified from the prizes for stealing Fizzy Lifting Drinks, Charlie gives his gobstopper back to Wonka, thereby rejecting Slugworth's offer. It is this honest action which causes Wonka to choose him as his successor. This is actually the "big test".	Shown.
Ending	Wonka picks up the Bucket family in the Great Glass Elevator. They blast off into outer space, paving way for the sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.	Wonka goes ballistic on Charlie and Grandpa Joe for stealing Fizzy Lifting Drinks and tells them about the contract they get nothing and lose. This infuriates Grandpa Joe who goes ballistic acts mean and yells back at Wonka by telling him off for denying Charlie his prize only for him to shout out "I SAID GOOD DAY!". Charlie gives back his Everlasting Gobstopper, showing he is a pure child, and passes the test of worthiness that Wonka set for all five finders. Wonka forgives the infraction and says in the Wonkavator that he will give Charlie the factory, while the Wonkavator flies away into the sky.	Wonka says Charlie must abandon his family. Charlie rejects Wonka's offer and eventually helps him reconcile with his father. In the end, Wonka moves the house to his factory.
Exploding Candy for Your Enemies	Mentioned on a button in the Great Glass Elevator.	Mike tries a piece in the Inventing Room and the blast knocks him into several pots and pans. Wonka says that the mixture is still too weak and needs more gelignite.	Not mentioned, but a candy "war games" testing room is seen from the glass elevator, which features exploding candies as they are fired from cannons and artillery batteries.
Fake Golden Ticket	A Russian woman named Charlotte Russe claims to have the second Golden Ticket, but it turns out to be a forgery.	"Alberto Minoleta" (alias of Martin Bormann) of Paraguay claims to have the fifth Golden Ticket, but it later turns out to be a forgery. The fake ticket prompts Bill the candystore owner to release his hidden supply of Wonka bars, one of which contains the real ticket.	Charlie overhears a conversation about the fifth Golden Ticket being found in Russia; a newspaper in a newsagent later reveals the fifth ticket as a forgery. The forger is never named.
Fizzy Lifting Drinks	Mentioned, with regard to an Oompa Loompa floating away.	Charlie and Grandpa steal drinks only to break the rules and get into trouble with Wonka, float up, nearly cut themselves to pieces on the rotor blades, and then burp their way down. Wonka angrily claims they lose the lifetime supply of chocolate for this infraction which makes Grandpa Joe angrily blame him, but forgives them when Charlie passes the "big test" he set for the five finders.	Not mentioned, though the room appears as a button in the elevator.
Four bad children's interaction with Charlie	None mentioned.	Augustus kindly gives Charlie the pen needed to sign the contract. Charlie uses a giant lollipop to try to help Augustus out of the chocolate river. Charlie acts friendly to Augustus, and shows concern for the other kids when he is the only one left. Veruca and Charlie remark on Wonka's strange behavior. Charlie talks to Violet during her 3-course gum scene.	Violet puts down Charlie as a "loser". Augustus taunts Charlie by offering him a Wonka Bar and then snatching it away. Mike and Veruca are the nicest to Charlie, despite their character flaws.
Fate of four bad children leaving the factory	All are seen leaving the factory alive, but with visible, lasting effects. In the illustrations, their parents are absent (apart from Veruca's), but are mentioned to be with them. Wonka, Charlie and Grandpa Joe comment on their fates as they watch from the great glass elevator.	Not seen, but Wonka assures Charlie that they will "return to their perfectly horrible selves"(though "hopefully a little wiser" for the wear).	All are seen leaving the factory alive, but with visible, lasting effects. Additionally, their downfalls are much more dramatic and intense, although the obnoxiously-overachieving and arrogant Violet's seemingly gleeful reaction to what she will now be athletically enabled to do (despite her blue skin) does feel somewhat anti-climactic. However, Veruca's father denies her latest demand, indicating he is going to be more strict with her in future. Wonka, Charlie and Grandpa Joe watch them from the elevator but make no comment.
The furnace and incinerator	Incinerator is lit every other day; Veruca and Mr. and Mrs. Salt are lucky, since the day of the tour was one of the days it was not lit.	Lit every other day; Wonka doesn't seem to know whether or not it is lit the day of the tour.	Lit only on Tuesdays; although the tour does take place on a Tuesday, Veruca and Mr. Salt are lucky, since the furnace happens to be broken and there is three weeks' worth of rotten garbage to break their fall.
Getting out of bed	Grandpa Joe is astounded at the news and cannot believe it. When he sees the Golden Ticket, Grandpa Joe leaps out of bed yelling "Yipee!" and starts dancing.	Grandpa Joe does not believe Charlie because he has not heard about the fake Golden Ticket; Charlie explains and shows him the ticket. When Charlie says he wants to take Grandpa Joe, he slowly gets out of bed, stumbles over a bit, and then begins the song: (I've Got a) Golden Ticket.	Grandpa Joe is astounded at the news and cannot believe it. When he sees the Golden Ticket, Grandpa Joe leaps out of bed yelling, "Yipee!" and does a little dance.
Grandpa Joe's relationship with Wonka	Merely knows of Wonka.	Merely knows of Wonka.	Once worked for Wonka before all employees were fired years ago and factory closed.
Grandpa Joe's gamble	Using his secret hoard, Grandpa Joe has Charlie buy a Wonka Bar. They then argue over who should open it and which corner to open. At the discovery of no ticket, they burst into laughter.	Using his tobacco money, Grandpa Joe somehow gets a Wonka Bar. They then argue over who should open it and which corner to open. After the discovery of no ticket, Charlie says "I bet the gold makes the chocolate taste terrible." (At that point, it becomes an emotional part of the movie.)	Using his secret hoard, Grandpa Joe has Charlie buy a Wonka Bar. Grandpa Joe asks which end to open first and Charlie suggests doing it quickly at once ("like a Band-Aid"). At the discovery of no ticket, they look at one another.
Grandpa Joe's story	Tells Charlie about Wonka's various candies and his work for Prince Pondicherry, then the next night talks about the spies and his secret workers.	Only tells Charlie about Wonka's downfall.	Tells Charlie of Wonka's candies, Prince Pondicherry, Wonka closing the factory, and the mystery of the workers, all at dinner.
The grandparents	Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine are Charlie's paternal grandparents. Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina are Charlie's maternal grandparents. They had not gotten out of bed in twenty years. Grandma Josephine and Grandpa George are pessimistic, but Grandma Georgina is optimistic. The others refuse to get out of bed at the end of the book.	Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine are Charlie's maternal grandparents. Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina are Charlie's paternal grandparents. They had not gotten out of bed in twenty years, although Grandpa Joe says when he gets his strength back, he will help the family out. He gets out of bed to take Charlie to the factory. The others say very little.	Presumably, Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine are Charlie's maternal grandparents, and Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina are Charlie's paternal grandparents, as Mr. Bucket refers to Grandpa George as "Pop". Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine had not gotten out of bed for at most fifteen years. Grandpa George is the most grouchy and Grandma Georgina is comically senile. At the end of the movie, all the grandparents are out of bed.
Grandparents' ages	It is stated that all four grandparents are more than 90 years old. Grandpa Joe's age is specifically given as 96½. However, in the sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, the other three grandparents are given ages lower than ninety: Grandpa George is 81, Grandma Georgina is 78, and Grandma Josephine is 80 years and 3 months.	Not mentioned.	Their individual ages are not given; however, Grandpa Joe says that all together, their ages total 381. Assuming he was talking only about the four grandparents this makes their average age 95¼ (oddly enough, since Charlie's parents seem to be around 30), though if referring also to Charlie's parents the average age of the grandparents becomes 80¼, much closer to the ages given in the book.
The Great Glass Elevator (elevator and flying machine)	Shaped like a standard elevator, but constructed completely out of glass and all four walls and ceiling are covered with buttons. The elevator is immune to everything, including Vermicious Knids. There is a second elevator which runs on the same track but in the oppposite direction; Mr. Wonka says he has always been lucky so far in avoiding a collision. Transports the group to the Television Room; later travels to Charlie's home, crashing through his roof. Takes them to space in the sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Using the Great Glass Elevator to visit Minusland proves it can travel to places outside the factory.	Shaped like a futuristic multi-faceted bubble with an antenna on top; does not appear to be made completely out of glass. Is only large enough for three or four people. Called the "Wonkavator." Does little outside factory, beyond giving a larger view of the city. It is only seen at the end (the Wonka-Mobile is used to transport the group to the Television Room).	Shaped like a standard elevator, but constructed completely out of glass. Transports the group to the Television Room; later travels to Charlie's home, crashing through his roof, and then to his father's home. Wonka comically crashes into it on two occasions, having forgotten to open the door.
Great Glass Elevator ride	Mike chooses to go to the Television Room. Along the way, the group sees Fudge Mountain and an Oompa Loompa village.	Not used. The group uses the "Wonka-Mobile" to get to the Television Room. Along the way, it squirts out foam, covering Wonka and its passengers (referred to as Hsawaknow or "Wonka-Wash") before being squeezed through a dryer.	Wonka presses a button to demonstrate the elevator. The group sees Fudge Mountain, pink sheep being sheared, the Puppet Hospital and Burn Center (treating the damaged puppets from the opening), the Administration Offices, and an exploding candy firing range. Mike chooses to go to the Television Room while they are watching the firing range.
Hair cream	Mentioned to be stored in a room marked "All the creams" along with dairy cream, whipped cream, violet cream, coffee cream, pineapple cream, and vanilla cream. Upon seeing the sign, Mike reacts, "Hair cream? You don't use hair cream?" but Wonka ignores him.	Next to the Inventing Room there is a door that says Dairy Cream, Whipped cream, Coffee Cream, Vanilla Cream and Hair Cream. Upon reading "hair cream" the visitors look at each other with confusion.	Mentioned to be stored in a separate storage room. Upon seeing the sign, Mrs. Beauregarde asks "What do you use hair cream for?" Wonka answers, "To lock in moisture," obviously referring to his hair. Clotted cream and coffee cream are also mentioned, each stored in separate rooms.
Hair-toffee	Effects described, mixture still too strong. Veruca asks "Who wants a beard?" to which Wonka replies with "You could use one yourself."	Only hair cream mentioned.	Effects shown. Mike asks "Who wants a beard?" to which Wonka replies by listing people who have beards. An Oompa Loompa is shown covered with hair.
Home countries of other children	Not stated, although Veruca uses English phrases.	Augustus—Duselheim, West Germany Violet—Miles City, Montana Mike—Marble Falls, Arizona Veruca—United Kingdom.	Augustus—Düsseldorf, Germany Violet—Atlanta, Georgia Mike—Denver, Colorado Veruca—Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom.
The Inventing Room	Mr. Wonka says that not even Oompa Loompas are permitted into the Inventing Room; however, Mr. Wonka later calls a couple of Oompa Loompas into the room to roll Violet to the Juicing Room.	Oompa Loompas are seen making and testing the candy. One Oompa Loompa is stirring a big pot of liquid. A sign says that only authorized Oompa Loompas are allowed inside.	Several Oompa Loompas are seen making and testing candy even before Violet turns into a blueberry.
"I think I'm going to be sick!" / "Now I am going to be sick!"	Mrs. Teavee says the lines on the high-speed elevator ride to which Wonka offers her his hat to vomit into, the second being said when Mr. Wonka says there is another elevator on the same track, with which they might have a collision.	Mrs. Teavee says the lines on the high-speed boat ride, the second being said when the visitors are shown an image of a chicken being beheaded (one of the many gruesome images shown during the scary ride).	The lines are not said.
Lickable Wallpaper for Nursery walls	Wallpaper described to guests.	Guests are allowed to lick the wallpaper.	Not mentioned. However, there is a button labeled "Scratch and Sniff Room" in the glass elevator.
Lifetime supply of chocolate	All four bad children are seen being given truckloads of chocolate.	All four bad children disqualified.	Mentioned on on the back of the ticket as "all the chocolate you could dream of..." but is not shown as the bad children leave the factory.
"Loompaland? There's no such place!" / "Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography!"	In the revised version of the book, Mrs. Salt says the line. In the original edition, the line does not appear.	Mrs. Teavee says the line.	Mr. Teavee says the line. Also, Mr. Teavee says, "And I'm here to tell you that --" and is quickly cut off by Willy Wonka.
Media circus	A large group of reporters cover the ticket discoveries. Augustus' hometown celebrates his discovery with a public holiday and parade. The grandparents comment on the character flaws of the bad kids. A media circus arrives at the Buckets' house to get the story for the morning newspapers, and when Mr Wonka meets Charlie he says he read that edition himself.	Only a few reporters interview each child, except Veruca and Charlie. Presumably Charlie's interview occurs off-screen because Wonka says he read about Charlie in the newspapers when he meets him. The fake Slugworth also appears each time and makes his Everlasting Gobstopper offer, except that in Charlie's case he makes his offer privately, and not through a media circus. We only see Charlie watching Violet's interview, in which he is clearly disgusted with her.	A large group of reporters cover the ticket discoveries. The grandparents comment on the character flaws of the bad kids. No media circus arrives at the Buckets' house.
Mike Teavee	Obsessed with television and gangsters. Talks about this more than his Golden Ticket at his interview and never explains how he found it.	Obsessed with television and cowboys. Talks about this more than his Golden Ticket at his interview and never explains how he found it.	Obsessed with television, the Internet, and likes video games, particularly first-person shooter games. He also is much more intelligent than the previous Mikes. This Mike's character fault focuses more on his anger than his TV habit. He does provide an explanation of how he found his Golden Ticket.
Mike's appearance	Red shirt covered with toy pistols and blonde hair.	Dresses as a cowboy and has brown hair.	Black shirt with skull head on fire on front and poison sign picture on back; red long-sleeved shirt underneath this shirt; wears black and white Chuck Taylor All-Stars shoes, and has brown hair.
Mike's fate	Mike emerges from the factory ten feet tall and thin as a wire. Mr. Wonka says that Mike will be a great basketball player.	Final fate unknown.	Mike exits the factory ten feet tall and as thin as paper.
Mr. Salt's ticket discovery	Worker finds ticket and shows it off.	Mr. Salt promises the finder a £1 bonus; thus, the one who finds Veruca's happily shows it off.	Worker finds ticket and tries to hide it for herself, but Mr. Salt snatches it out of her hand.
Mr. Salt, Veruca's father	Fat man with moustache.	Fat English man with balding head; named Henry (played by Roy Kinnear).	Stereotypical rich old English man; named Rupert (played by James Fox)
Mrs. Salt, Veruca's mother	Fat, ugly blonde woman named Angina. Teaches geography.	Skinny woman named Henrietta, seen sewing.	Skinny, beautiful blonde-haired woman, possibly a "trophy wife". No name given.
Oompa Loompas	In original publication, they were black pygmies from Africa. Due to slavery-like portrayal, changed in 1973 to golden-brown hair and rosy-white skin from Loompaland. Very happy people, will laugh at almost anything, and love to sing. Insist on retaining their native clothing. Knee high.	Orange skinned dwarves with green hair and white eyebrows from Loompaland. More composed than the novel version. They never smile or laugh.	Incredibly small men with heavy tanned skin from Loompaland, who look exactly the same aside from their clothing. They show a greater degree of sophistication in their jobs, which include not only factory workers; a barber, a secretary and a psychoanalyst who treats Willy Wonka are all shown. Laugh only once and rarely smile.
The Oompa Loompas' clothing	Men wear deer skins, women wear fresh leaves, and children wear nothing. In the Television Chocolate Room, the Oompa Loompas wear red spacesuits.	All wear white overalls and striped, colored shirts.	Factory workers wear shiny plastic jumpsuits which are colored in accordance to the room in which they are working. Those with specialized jobs dress in a manner appropriate to their position.
Oompa Loompa call	Wonka snaps his fingers three times.	Wonka plays a tune on a piccolo-like musical instrument.	Wonka ululates. This is shown only in the Chocolate Room; the other times a child is ejected, an Oompa Loompa is always nearby to receive instructions from Mr. Wonka.
Oompa Loompas' songs	Impromptu.	Unknown.	Impromptu, but suspected by Mr. Salt and Mike Teavee to be rehearsed.
Parents of bad children	All critical of their bad children, except for Mrs. Gloop.	All but Augustus' mother oblivious of bad children's behavior. Mrs. Teavee displays a lack of scruples because she has succumbed to Mr. Slugworth's bribe, thereby failing the "big test".	Only Mr. Salt and Mr. Teavee are critical of their bad children. Mr. Salt tries to hide his criticism from his daughter so her feelings won't be hurt, but he angrily expresses it with the line, "all you're getting today is a bath, and that's final" as they leave the factory. Mrs. Beauregarde becomes critical of her daughter at the near-end of the film, as shown in the line, "Yes, but you're blue." Mrs. Gloop criticizes her son for drinking from Mr. Wonka's chocolate river, which, seconds later, he falls into, and when they are seen leaving the factory, she tells him not to eat his fingers.
Prince Pondicherry's chocolate palace	Described by Grandpa Joe.	Not mentioned.	Shown in a cut scene. A Princess Pondicherry is also added.
Rainbow Drops	Described on one of the buttons in the elevator. ("Suck them and you can spit in six different colors").	Wonka gives them to Mrs. Teavee on the boat for seasickness and describes them. ("Suck them and you can spit in seven different colors"). Violet (while picking her nose) comments that spitting is a dirty habit and Wonka retorts that he knows a worse one.	Not mentioned or shown.
Seeing the Oompa-Loompas/"They can't be real people."	Veruca first sees the Oompa-Loompas. Charlie says the latter.	Charlie first sees the Oompa-Loompas. Violet says the latter.	Veruca first sees the Oompa-Loompas. Mike asks "Are they real people?"
Songs	Oompa-Loompas sing songs about each of the bad children. Grandpa Joe and Charlie always state when the songs are starting. The songs are done in the same beat and all have drums in them.	Original songs include "Pure Imagination" and "The Candy Man". The Oompa-Loompa songs have original lyrics containing the gist of what Dahl wrote; all with repeated opening, "Oompa-Loompa Doompa-Dee-Do", or a variation thereof. All Oompa-Loompa songs generally sound the same, and no one mentions one when it begins. Other songs include (I've Got a) Golden Ticket and I Want it Now!	An original song, "Willy Wonka's Welcome Song," is sung by puppets at the factory entrance that later catch fire. The Ooompa-Loompa songs use Dahl's original lyrics, although they have fewer words. Each of the latter is done in a different contemporary musical style (Bombay musical, Disco/Jazz, psychedelia, rock). Wonka appears to be the only one to enjoy the songs.
Square Sweets That Look Round	Wonka shows the tour his square sweets.	Not mentioned.	Not mentioned.
Swearing	Wonka's description of one of the Oompa Loompas as an "ass" is clearly a reference to donkey (hence, ass)-like stupidity or slowness. This is not a reference to the completely different "arse", which Dahl - as an English writer - well knew.	None, with the exception of Wonka saying "hell", referring to the place.
