Which Roald Dahl character would you be?

Charlie lives with his mother, his father and his four grandparents in a little wooden house near a great town. Well, he does the first time we meet him, anyway.

Charlie and his family don't have much money. That means they don't have much to eat. Which makes the fact that there is a great big Chocolate Factory in his very own town all the more difficult for poor Charlie. Because more than anything else, Charlie loves chocolate - Wonka chocolate especially. His very favourite is the Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight bar. You could even say this is his lucky bar. It is, after all, the bar that changes Charlie's life...

When he finds a Golden Ticket in that Wonka chocolate bar, Charlie's luck starts to change. From touring Mr Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory to bursting through its roof in the Great Glass Elevator, that little flash of gold is only the beginning of his adventures. Mr Wonka personally escorts him round his chocolate factory - then appoints him as his successor. He visits outer space with his entire family - and ends up outsmarting some very unpleasant Vermicious Knids. He witnesses his old grandparents return all the way to babyhood after some ill-advised experiments with Wonka Vite. Then, to top it all off, he gets invited to dinner at the White House.

Matilda Wormwood is the clever, brave, book-loving girl who gives her name to one of Roald Dahl's last published stories: Matilda.

So clever is Matilda that by the age of four, she has read all the children's books in her local library. By the time she begins school aged five she has graduated to Charles Dickens and Rudyard Kipling. What's more, she can multiply large numbers with no trouble and can compose and recite limericks with barely a breath. Her schoolteacher Miss Honey thinks she's a genius.

Unfortunately, her parents aren't so impressed. Mr and Mrs Wormwood completely fail to appreciate her incredible abilities - but luckily for Matilda, this also means they never fail to fall for her tricks...

Because as well as being very clever, Matilda is no stranger to a spot of mischief. From supergluing hats to hiding a parrot up a chimney, she makes her hapless parents pay for their indifference and stupidity in a number of subtle ways.

It's headmistress Miss Trunchbull she saves her greatest trick for, though...

Matilda ultimately uses her incredible powers to help Miss Honey, but in earlier drafts of the story she was actually a "wicked" girl who terrorised her parents and teachers. Roald soon realised this wasn't right, though, and the Matilda we all know and love first appeared in print in 1988.

Billy is the 'Me' in Roald Dahl's 1985 story The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me - well, we think he is, but the other Very Important member of the Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company not mentioned in the book's title is the Monkey.

Whatever the details, Billy is very definitely one of the gang. A friendly and inquisitive boy with a love of confectionary, an admiration for Mr Willy Wonka and an ability to remain unfazed even in the presence of fearsome burglars, Billy's greatest wish is to own his own sweet shop, or 'Grubber.'

When he meets the Giraffe, Pelican and Monkey shortly after they've taken over the premises of a former sweet-shop near his house, little does he know this dream might not be so far out of reach, thanks to his quick-thinking friends and the very rich Duke of Hampshire...

Mr Fox is clever. Far too clever for his local farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Still, even a very clever and cunning fox sometimes gets caught out - and when those devious farmers finally locate the whereabouts of Mr Fox's home, it puts him and his family in danger.

But Mr Fox is never beaten - and by trapping him and his family inside their foxhole, it looks like Boggis, Bunce and Bean might have accidentally shot themselves in the foot instead...

In 2009, director Wes Anderson's stop-motion animated adaptation of Fantastic Mr Fox featured George Clooney as "Foxy" Fox. In the film, his character was a newspaper columnist and the father of one son, Ash, as opposed to the four Small Foxes that appear in the original story. A nephew, Kristofferson, also lives with the family.

The BFG - or, to give him his full name, The Big Friendly Giant - is one of Roald Dahl's best-loved characters. He features in two of Roald's stories: Danny, the Champion of the World and, of course, The BFG.

Mr Twit is one half of a horrible couple called The Twits. He and his wife (and we never really find out why they married...) spend most of their time terrorising each other with nasty tricks, except for the times when they're terrorising the children, animals and birds that have the misfortune to cross their path - like the poor Muggle-Wump Monkeys.

The other thing you should know about Mr Twit is that he has a horrible, hairy, bristly, dirty, smelly beard that he never washes. Ever. "Even on Sundays," we're told.

As a result, that beard is full of all sorts of disgusting leftovers from Mr Twit's meals: cornflakes, tinned sardines, stilton cheese.

Miss Honey is Matilda Wormwood's class teacher at Crunchem Hall Primary School. Aside from librarian Mrs Phelps, she is the first person to fully appreciate Matilda's incredible abilities and tries to bring them to the attention of the school's formidable headteacher Miss Trunchbull and Matilda's uninterested parents.

Undeterred by their reactions, Miss Honey does all she can to encourage Matilda. In doing so, the pair become firm friends and it's Miss Honey's own story that leads Matilda to an incredible discovery about the true power of her brain...
