Willy Wonka , the amazing chocolate maker in the book Charlie and the chocolate factory which is written by Roald Dhal . Recently with the release of the latest movie " Wonka", the popularity of the character raised again.

As a kid when I was in grade 5 I received the Sinhala translation of the book Charlie and the chocolate factory as a gift from my father.By then reading became my hobby forever. That's the book which inspired me to be a reader and because of that I have a special spot in my heart about this story and it's main characters Wonka and Charlie Bucket.

This is not about the book but it's about the Wonka movies along the history. So far there are 4 Wonka movies . They are..

1.Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
5 golden tickets, 5 lucky winners... The luckiest will own the Amazing chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. In this Movie Gene Wilder plays the role of Willy Wonka and Peter Ostram plays the role of charlie. This is about a story of a poor boy who won oneof Wonka's golden ticket and his journey till winning an amazing chocalate factory.This is a musical movie with a famous Oompa Lumpa song.
This movie is adopted from the Original book of Roald Dhal . Here's a trailer of it

2.Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
I think most of you should be familiar with this movie because this movie became more famous of children past decades. This movie is full of adventures that Charlie faces. This movie is able to bring me to the imaginary world I created on my mind while reading the book.In this movie Jonny Depp act as Willy Wonka and personally he is my favorite Wonka actor.

3.Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (2017): Animated Antics

Recently I found out about this version of Wonka movie. Here we meet our favorite cartoon characters Tom and Jerry in the story along with charlie and Wonka.

4.Wonka (2023)

Finally, the latest Wonka movie . Here Thimothée Chalamet plays the role of Wonka. This movie is about the younger self of wonka and the adventures of his life.I have mixed thoughts about this movie. I expect a second part for sure.

This is just a brief note about wonka movies. As one of the memorable story in my childhood I really love stories based on charlie and the chocolate factory.
