Matilda - she's a little contrary but very resiliant!

Charlie Bucket because he was so kind and caring. And he proved that even if you don’t have lots of money your dreams can still come true.

Nandalot Tue 11-Sept-18 19:11:59

Willy Wonka because he owns a chocolate factory!

Mine has to be Fantastic Mr Fox!

Miss Honey in Mathilda. Such a strong woman to live independently in poverty, rather than be totally controlled by Miss Trunchbull.

Willy Wonka...loved the factory and all the chocolate and candy creations.

Danny's Dad from "Danny the Champion of the World". Roald Dahl made him so very real in my imagination. Ingenious.

DDP91 Tue 11-Sept-18 17:01:33

Matilda because I always wanted to be magic

Danny I just think he is the nicest boy in literature

JoGibbons Tue 11-Sept-18 16:23:27

Matilda is amazing!

Mr Twit smile Simply because he reminds me of my old maths teacher in the early 70's. Always had food stuck in his beard and looked like he'd just rolled out of bed.

GeminiJen Tue 11-Sept-18 16:02:51

Matilda. She's a book lover and feisty to boot grin

liz1970 Tue 11-Sept-18 15:58:11

Charlie from Charlie and the chocolate factory, as he was such an unspoilt boy with a good heart!

Deano777 Tue 11-Sept-18 14:59:28

Willy Wonka because hes weird and crazy like me!

pinkjj27 Tue 11-Sept-18 14:57:29

Esio trot must be hard being a tortoise

Miss Honey and Matilda who went through so much with the wicked Miss Trunchbull, but then went on and lived a very happy life together.

lindajayne2 Tue 11-Sept-18 14:41:20

Willie Wonka, I so wanted to live and work in his wonderful world with the Oompa Loompas.

Baileypants Tue 11-Sept-18 14:36:45

Charlie, from the chocolate factory! Loved the glass evelator too !!

Asta Tue 11-Sept-18 13:59:55

Matilda, she's the ultimate mighty girl

ktcov Tue 11-Sept-18 13:48:08

Matilda. She's a very strong willed and interesting character and it's great that she loves books!

littlemonkeyz Tue 11-Sept-18 13:47:41

I love George because he's mischevious and full of fun just like my son

AMYH Tue 11-Sept-18 13:42:04

Little Red Riding Hood in Revolting Rhymes.... Roald Dahl completely flips the traditional victim into a strong, independent character who handles the wolf in such an unexpected way! A tale that always makes us chuckle!
