What was the name of the good witch in The Wizard of Oz?

Answer 1

Answer #1 Glinda played by Billie Burke. Answer #2In the 1939 film verson of The Wizard of Oz, Glinda is presented as the Good Witch of the North. Nothing is said about the position of Good Witch of the South, which she occupies in the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. In the book, there's a nameless Good Witch of the North, who is among the first four to meet and greet Dorothy and Toto after their crash landing on Oz. In the 1902-1903 stage version of his book, Baum gives the Good Witch of the South a name: Locasta.

Answer 2

The Good Witch of the North and Glinda are the good witches in the original 1900 book "The Wizard of Oz" and Glinda is the good witch in the beloved 1939 movie"The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, Frank Lyman Baum (May 15, 1865 - May 6, 1919) has the unnamed Good Witch of the North be among the first to meet Dorothy Gale in Oz. Glinda is the Good Witch of the South and helps Dorothy understand how to get back to Kansas. But the two characters are merged into the one person of Glinda, who is known as the Good Witch of the North in the movie.

Answer 3

According to the book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], there are two good witches. One is Glinda the Good Witch of the South. The other is the Good Witch of the North, who is so called without any name directly being given. But later in the book Baum includes the story of Gayelette, who is described as a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. 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 Witch of the North the name Locasta. But there are inconsistencies between the book and the 1902/1903 stage versions even though Baum authored them both. In the 1939 film version, there's only one good witch ka Glinda the Good. In the film, the position of Good Witch of the South isn't mentioned. Instead, Glinda is ka the Good Witch of the North.
