How did the Scarecrow figure out that the Wizard had given him a brain?
In the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Wizard removed the Scarecrow's head, for adding bran, needles, and pins to top out the straw. The Scarecrow felt that the Wizard had given him a brain, because Dorothy Gale noticed how the top bulged out. The Tin Woodman noticed the needles and pins sticking out of his friend's head. The Wizard explained that they showed the Scarecrow's sharp wit. In the 1939 film version, the Wizard gave a paper by which the Scarecrow had an honorary Th.D., or Doctorate in Thinkology. The Scarecrow immediately put his finger to his head, and made the impressive-sounding observation of the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle equaling the square roots of the remaining side. Hardly! For example, a triangle that's 36 x 49 x 64 has the square roots of 6, 7, and 8. Adding 6 to 7 doesn't make 8, but 13. Adding 7 to 8 doesn't make 6, but 15. And adding 8 to 6 doesn't make 7, but 14. Instead, the true statement is the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equaling the sum of the squares of the other two sides. For example, a triangle that's 3 x 4 x 5 has the squares of 9, 16, and 25. The hypotenuse is the longest side. And adding 9 to 16 makes 25.
Answer #1 Dorothy and her friends had to retrieve the Wicked Witch of West's broomstick. Answer #2 The Wizard said that he would grant none of the requests until the foursome had killed the Wicked Witch of the West.
Maybe. What do you think?
Many believe that wizards and the supernatural is fake as there is no evidence. However, I answer is question with a question; How come people all around the world have similar ideas of magic even before hearing about it? The answer is that magic could be real but has been exaggerated over the years to seem unreal. For example: Telekinesis allows you to move small objects and would take a while of focus to do this, now we see in movies that people lift huge objects up without any problem.wizards are real i am one

That they have no direct or overt references to God is the reason for the banning of "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, the banning was a decision influenced by the power of fundamental Christians, librarians and teachers. It took place in the years after the Second World War when people in the United States of America feared the spread of godless communism. It occurred because of the lack of any involvement by or reference to the existence of God.

The beloved 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz had an operating budget of $2,777,000. At the box office, it grossed $3 million. There were advertising expenses that hadn't been included in the budget. And so those involved in the film's production didn't consider the film a success until its re-release in 1949.

In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', the Cowardly Lion receives a green-colored container from the Wizard. Inside is a potion that he must drink. Once he has drunk it, he has inside him the courage that he already has long before meeting up with the humbug Wizard of Oz.

Where was Auntie Em's farm in The Wizard of Oz?
No last name is given for Auntie Em in either the original 1900 book version or the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. All that author and Oz book series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] lets his audience know is that Auntie Em's niece Dorothy has the last name of Gale. But we don't know if that's her biological or foster parents' last name. Neither does Baum let his audience know if the blood relationship is between Dorothy and Aunt Em, or between Dorothy and Uncle Henry.
Subsequently in the Oz book series, Uncle Henry says that, like mother like daughter, Dorothy is a dreamer. That seems to indicate that the blood relationship is between Dorothy and her uncle. But we still don't know whether the name Gale is Dorothy's mother's married name or if it's Uncle Henry's name.
