New Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Book Cover - Charlie

So it was no surprise that I finally got around to reading Dahl’s original novel. I was curious to see which film version came closest to Dahl’s vision, and I can surprisingly report that though they both come close to the original text, both rely heavily on artistic license and the kind of freedoms a director will often take when translating a literary work into film. Also in 2014, Vanity Fair published a plot summary of "The Warming Candy Room", wherein three boys eat too many "warming candies" and end up "bursting with heat." [28]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - The Book vs. The Movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - The Book vs. The Movie

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. 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. I have watched both the movie versions of this book, one (Johnny Depp's version) more times than the other (Gene Wilder's version) and I have to say that it is Tim Burton's movie that really stays true to the book and adds a little bit extra to it by showing a bit of Willy Wonka's past as a child. His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach. I have to admit that there's nothing quite like reading a book to a kid that you both love in equal measure.

i read this book at the age of approximately 8 and immediately transferred all of my hopes and dreams into discovering, touring, and inheriting a whimsical chocolate factory.

One of the first books I ever read. I wanted to watch the movie, but wasn't allowed to until I read the book. And so I did. And now, every few years, I want to again. It's been a long time. But who doesn't love chocolate and dreams and wishes and gifts? I think I may read this series... only looked at the first one.
