Matilda is our favourite character as she uses her special powers to help save the children from being bullied from Miss Trunchbull

Matilda as she is determined to succeed despite her difficult upbringing. She is a caring young girl and has a great wit.

The BFG, such a lovely memory from my childhood and lovely to see the story still popular these days too.

Grandpa Joe from Charlie and the Chocolate factory, reminds me of my grandson and grandpa , my hubby has not been well for many years , but supports our little grandson in everything he does, and my grandson looks so much like my hubby a proper mini me (grandpa).

Charlie (of the chocolate factory!). I understand his yearning for chocolate and how even though he is good he isn't perfect...temptation overcomes him a couple of times!

Charlie from Charlie and the chocolate factory because he always helps his family

Danny the Champion of the World, he's a Robin Hood type hero, getting one over on the snobby local squire.

Matilda, an amazing little girl who manages to blossom in spite of bullying and neglect.

The character we love to hate Miss Trunchball (from Matilda) Who wouldn’t be frightened of a day in the Chokey ?
