His mother seems to delight in her son’s gluttonous habits and encourages them. While his origin is unknown in the book, he tends to be thought of as German, since he is from Germany in both movies. 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. He is also the first child to fail Wonka’s tests. Gloop is incredibly greedy and the first child to find a Golden Ticket. As such, Grandpa Joe is the one who accompanies Charlie to the factory. In the beginning of the story, Grandpa Joe hasn’t been out of bed in years, but when it is revealed that Charlie has won a Golden Ticket, he leaps out of bed with the energy of a man a quarter of his age. In fact, he is the one who gives Charlie the money to buy another chocolate bar. He loves to tell stories and very optimistic. 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.

His whole family is allowed to come with him. At the end of the story, Wonka bequeaths the factory to Charlie, as a reward for his good heart. Even when he drank the Fizzy Lifting Drink, he admitted it and apologized, in a situation where lesser children might have lied and not owned up to their misdeeds. He is the only one who would have been fit to run the factory. Unlike the other contestants who find a Golden Ticket, Charlie is generous and selfless. Charlie, being poor, doesn’t get much food, which makes living near a chocolate factory hard. He lives with his mother, his father, and his four bed-ridden grandparents.
