Philip Wiegratz (born 17 February 1993) is a German actor. His first film role was playing Augustus Gloop in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Wiegratz was born in Magdeburg, Germany. He is known for his 2005 portrayal of the greedy Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He went to a casting call not being sure of receiving any particular part, but caught the attention of a casting director and was placed on a shortlist for the role of Augustus. Wiegratz returned for several callbacks and eventually received the part, which marked his English-language film debut and also required him to wear a fatsuit instead of getting fat on his own terms. He performed his own stunts in the scenes of Augustus falling into the river in Wonka's Chocolate Room.
That same year, he also appeared in Es ist ein Elch entsprungen (international title A Christmas Carol), adapted from the Andreas Steinhöfel storybook of the same name. He played "Großer Junge" in the movie.
