<Tr> <Th> Family </Th> <Td> Claire Gloop (mother) Harold Gloop (father) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Nationality </Th> <Td> German </Td> </Tr> <P> Augustus Gloop is an obese, greedy, gluttonous boy, the first person to find a Golden Ticket and one of the four main antagonists of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . He hails from fictitious Dusselheim, Germany in the 1971 film, and Düsseldorf, Germany in the 2005 film . His mother takes great pride in his gluttonous eating and seems to enjoy the attention of the media . In the novel and both films, he is portrayed as "enormously fat". Augustus is the first to be removed from the tour: while drinking from the Chocolate Room's Chocolate River, he accidentally falls into the river and is drawn through a pipe to the factory's Fudge Room . His parents are summoned to retrieve him from the mixing - machine . In the book, he is depicted leaving the factory, having lost most of his weight, and covered in melted chocolate . </P> <P> In the 1971 film, despite eating constantly, he has decent table manners, is not as obese as he is in the book, and is polite to Charlie and the other finalists . He is portrayed by Michael Bollner in this film . Since Bollner could not speak fluent English at the time of the film's production, the 1971 Augustus has fewer lines and less screen time . </P>
