Earthworm

The Earthworm is a major character in "James and the Giant Peach". He is like an uncle figure to James. He is voiced by then-latter "Harry Potter" franchise actor David Thewlis who plays Remus Lupin.

He first appears when James climbs inside the peach, having been transformed. He is blind, so he often assumes that situations are worse than they really are. He accompanies the others on their journey to New York City, having to be bait in order to do so. He and the others are separated from James during an attack from The Rhino, but they later reunite with James, who has transformed back into his normal form, and he aids in the capture of Spiker and Sponge. He later lives with the others in Central Park, and becomes a mascot for a new smooth product.
