In The Wizard of Oz where was the Wicked Witch from?
According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], there originally were four wicked witches who terrorized the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. They were the Wicked Witches of the East, North, South, and West. Glinda the Good and another unnamed Good Witch managed to take over the rule of the Red Quadling Country of the South, and of the Blue Munchkin Country of the North, respectively. So Baum's story began with two good witches, and two wicked witches. Close to the beginning of the book, the Wicked Witch of the East was killed when Dorothy's farmhouse landed on her. A bit more than midway through the story, the Wicked Witch of the West was killed when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her and melted her into nothingness. So the story ended with no wicked witches, and two good witches of the South and of the North.
In the play Hamlet how many witches were there?
4 active in the book, 3 active in the movie. Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] identified four main witches who are active in his story: Glinda the Good Witch of the South, the Good Witch of the North, and the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. The original count was six or seven. For the world of Oz originally had four wicked witches. But Glinda and her colleague managed to take over the Quadling country of the South and the Munchkinland of the North, respectively, from the Wicked Witches who had been ruling in those two lands. In addition, Baum brings in the story of Gayelette, a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Is she a seventh witch, in addition to the two previously Wicked Witches of the North and of the South; the two Wicked Witches of the East and of the West; and the two Good Witches of the North and of the South? Or is she the younger version of the older Good Witch of the North? In the 1902/1903 stage version of the book, Baum gives the Good Witch of the North the name Locasta. But there are inconsistencies between the play and the book versions even though Baum authored both! In the 1939 film version, there are only three witches: Glinda has become the Good Witch of the North, there's no Good Witch of the South, and there are the two Wicked Witches of the East and of the West.
Is the Wicked Witch friends with the Good Witch in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
No, neither one of the Wicked Witches appears to be friends with either one of the Good Witches in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz."In the original book, the two bad witches are the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. The two good witches are the Good Witch of the North and Glinda the Good of the South.In the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz" likewise does it seem unlikely that the two bad witches may be considered friends of the one good witch, Glinda the Good of the North.But in "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," a subsequently published prequel by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954), the two bad witches are given the names of Nessarose of the East and Elphaba of the West. Elphaba and Glinda the Good start out on bad terms, but end up fast friends. Given the roller coater start to their interaction, it is entirely believable that the two go from enmity to friendship to back to enmity.
Who are the witches in oz the great and powerful?
Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton played the witches in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Billie Burke (August 7, 1884 - May 14, 1970) played Glinda the Good Witch. Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985) played the Wicked Witch of the West. No one played the Wicked Witch of the East, of whom only the feet were shown sticking out from under Dorothy Gale's house.
Were the Wicked Witches friends?
Yes and no. In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], not enough information is given. In fact, Baum shows no interaction between the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West.In the beloved 1939 film version, the two witches appear to be friends. As with the book, no interaction is shown between the two. But the Wicked Witch of the West is upset by the other witch's accidental death and wants the witch's magic slippers, of which Dorothy Gale now is the wearer.In the 1995 novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West', the two witches may or may not be considered friends. The two witches are half sisters. Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East, is her father's favorite. Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, has a difficult time because her stepfather correctly suspects that the green skinned girl isn't his biological daughter. So the two witches may be said to be on again off again, somewhat friendly enemies.In the Broadway musical, the interaction seems more friendly on Elphaba's part and less so on Nessarose's. After all, there are bound to be difficulties between two people if one is spoiled and selfish, and the other is passionate and has a chip on her shoulder.

What was the bad witch's name on Wizard of Oz?
It's kind of the point of the story/play that she isn't actually "bad". In fact, it's arguable that the "Good" witch, Glinda, is the true villain. However, assuming you're talking about the green one ... her given name is Elphaba.
Is the wicked witch of the west dedd?
Yes, in The Wizard of Oz; yes and no, in Wicked. Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] explained that the land of Oz had been taken over by four bad witches of the East, North, South, and West. Two of the bad witches had been replaced by the Good Witch of the North, and by Glinda the Good Witch of the South. Dorothy's house landed on, and killed, the Wicked Witch of the East. That left only the Wicked Witch of the West, whom Dorothy killed with a bucket of water. Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] is one of the writers who have made contributions to the Oz series since the death of the originator. His book Wicked, on which the play of the same name is based, creates a background of abusive interactions, and a life of emotional disappointments, that had their effect on the evolving character of the Wicked Witch of the West, whom he calls Elphaba Thropp.

What was the Wicked Witch of the West's name in the movie The Wizard of Oz?
In the original book and the 1902/1903 stage version of The Wizard of Oz, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] presented the Wicked Witch of the East without any name. The posthumous 1939 film version similarly maintained a silence as to any name other than Wicked Witch of the East. However, decades later, author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] gave the name of Nessarose Thropp to the Wicked Witch of the East, and of Elphaba Thropp to the Wicked Witch of the West.
