Violet Beauregarde is a fictional character from the Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its film adaptations, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She is a chewing gum fanatic, having broken a world record by chewing the same piece of gum for three months solid. In the original novel and 1971 film, Violet has a best friend named Cornelia Prinzmetel, whose record she broke. In the 2005 film, she does not appear to have any friends due to her overcompetitiveness. Violet is the third bad kid to find a ticket, and the second to get kicked off the tour for misbehaving.
