Notes:
(1) Charlie brings up Violet Beauregarde to Willy Wonka, which I believe is the only time—besides Charlie inheriting the chocolate factory—that something specific from the first book has been mentioned.
- To the extent that neither Wonka nor Charlie really resemble their original iterations, you'd be hard-pressed to call this a sequel at all.

Notes:
(1) The only character that matters, so far at least, is Willy Wonka.
- The story is essentially him doing crazy things and everyone else just reacting to it all.
- Mr. and Mrs. Bucket are pretty much just NPCs at this point. Background figures (or more so scenery) trailing along, reminding us they're around by getting scared once in a while.

Notes:
(1) Willy Wonka is almost like a totally different person here, more chaotically wacky than devilishly eccentric.
- He's still a character regarded with caution and suspicion, not entirely to be trusted. Though, unlike the first book—where he comes off as a kind of mysterious trickster—here it's just because he's nutty and seemingly reckless.
