While his physical stature was relatively unchanged after his journey into the Boiler Room, he is partially covered in chocolate, which he eats off himself as he leaves the factory, much to his mother's consternation.
Augustus soon lost his balance and fell into the river, and was sucked out by the extraction pipe and whizzed off to the "Boiler Room." He was also heavier in this film. When told by Wonka to "enjoy" the Chocolate Room, Augustus began to gorge himself on the room's various contents before moving on to the chocolate river, ignoring his mother's subsequent protests and Wonka's warning that the liquid chocolate must not be touched by human hands. He was aloof and cruel toward Charlie in the one instance when they interact, as Augustus offered him a Wonka Bar as they are walking towards the entrance to the Chocolate Room and then retracts it, telling Charlie he should have brought one of his own. His diet of just chocolate and meat ( his overweight father is a butcher like in the first movie) renders him obese with a lumbering, slow walk, and he discovered the Golden Ticket in his Wonka Bar only after accidentally biting off and nearly swallowing one of the ticket's corners. His gluttony is greatly emphasized as he is always consuming chocolate, which is sloppily smeared around his mouth. However, Bollner seemed to learn his lines rather quickly.Īugustus is portrayed by Philip Wiegratz and isn't nearly as vocal as the other children. 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.
His endgame is not shown, with only Wonka's insistence to Charlie that all four bad children would remain intact. When he falls into the chocolate river while drinking from it, Charlie shows empathy and tries to rescue him by using a giant lollipop (that Mike Teavee hands first to Grandpa Joe) for Augustus to hold and be pulled out, but Augustus is pulled beneath the surface and sucked up the extraction pipe leading to the Fudge Room. Despite eating constantly, the 1971 Augustus has decent table manners, is not as obese as he is in the book, and is polite and friendly to Charlie and the other three finalists. In this depiction, he hails from the fictional town of Dusselheim, located in the state of Bavaria in West Germany. Augustus is portrayed by Michael Bollner in the 1971 film.
