He kept talking about the details of what he thought of as each child's death. I guess I never related it to death. I thought of it as them taking themselves out of the race - but never thought of it as them dying. Anyway, it's interesting how different people perceive things. My son, by the way, is an intelligent and exquisitely sensitive soul.
Wonka makes it quite clear at the end that everyone will be returned to normal.
