At first, Tip is shocked to learn this, but Glinda and his friends help him to accept his destiny, and Mombi performs her last spell ( although there is some evidence that she performed magic later on in The Tin Woodman of Oz ).

Ozma decrees that, besides herself, only The Wizard and Glinda are allowed to use magic.

It must be stressed, however, that even in Baum's original Oz book series, Glinda is the only " good witch " in Oz of any consequence.

From the 7th book, The Patchwork Girl of Oz onwards, Baum goes so far as to say that " Glinda and the Wizard " are the " only " ones authorized to practice magic in Oz by Queen Ozma ; it is not clear whether he forgot about the Good Witch of the North, or had written her character out of the series.

Glinda evolved into the all-knowing and only prominent " good " sorceress in founder L. Frank Baum's version of Oz, long before she was portrayed that way in the 1939 MGM film ; although Baum's exceedingly refined and no-nonsense type Glinda quite different from the quirky and bubbly Glinda embodied by Billie Burke in the movie musical.

In the original novel, of course, the unnamed Good Witch of the North genuinely believed that the Wizard of Oz was the only entity powerful enough to send Dorothy back home to Kansas, while Glinda the Good Witch ( later " Sorceress ") of the South does not claim to be similarly powerful until the sixth book, The Emerald City of Oz, by which point in time she creates " The Great Book of Records ," which chronicles everything that takes place inside as well as outside Oz.

" However, the only fact established by this statement is that Glinda is one of Oz's " fairy people " ( L. Frank Baum's term for anyone native to an enchanted land ) rather than a Fairy proper.

Most significantly, in the musical, Glinda unwittingly sets into motion the events that lead to the Munchkin Boq becoming the Tin Woodman ( which only happens in this musical ), and Elphaba's sister Nessarose being killed by Dorothy Gale's farmhouse.

In W. W. Denslow's illustrations for The Wonderful Wizard ( approved by Baum ), the only Oz humans depicted as remarkably taller than Dorothy are the Soldier with the Green Whiskers and Glinda.

He accompanies Dorothy on her journey to see Glinda, and allows his friends to stand on his back in order to escape the Dainty China Country, where he damages the only church mentioned in an Oz book until Handy Mandy in Oz ( 1937 ).

Her lucidity briefly restored, Ama Clutch tells Glinda that she witnessed Grommetik kill Doctor Dillamond, which he could only have done on the order of Madame Morrible.

In addition, Elphaba admits that Glinda was the only friend she ever had, and Glinda replies that Elphaba was the only friend she has ever had who really mattered.

In the musical adaption Wicked, he is only mentioned briefly when Glinda mistakenly calls him " Dodo ".

Glinda often told her to only use them as a last resort.

Her most famous role was as Glinda the Good Witch in the film The Wizard of Oz ( 1939 ).

The Kensico Cemetery is the final resting place of the actress Billie Burke, who played Glinda, the " Good Witch of the North ", in the classic film The Wizard of Oz.

Glinda the Good Witch of the North ( Billie Burke ) magically puts the dead woman's ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet to protect her from the Witch's vengeful sister, the Wicked Witch of the West ( Margaret Hamilton ).

After being enchanted by Elphaba's old best friend and roommate Glinda ( the Good Witch of the North ) they become items of power that allow the armless Nessarose to stand without support.

He agrees to the reverse transformation, but Glinda the Good disapproves of shapeshifting magic, so it is done by the evil witch Mombi.

While he is unconscious, he sees a revelation in the form of Glinda the Good Witch ( Sheryl Lee ) who tells him, " Don't turn away from love, Sailor ".

Using the Wishing Pills they discover with the Powder of Life, Tip and his friends escape and journey to the palace of Glinda the Good.

Ozma and her companions ( many of whom appeared in the two previous Oz books ) cross the Deadly Desert with the aid of a magic carpet provided by Glinda the Good Witch to free the royal family of Ev, and Ozma has Dorothy released from Princess Langwidere's custody.

After Princess Ozma decreed that no one could practice magic in Oz except for Glinda the Good Witch and the Wizard of Oz, Bini wrote down the directions for pronouncing " Pyrzqxgl " and hid them in his magical laboratory.

" When one of his royal guards tells the Wizard that Glinda the Good Witch is here, the Wizard quotes " Bring me my rape shoes.

In The Marvelous Land of Oz, Glinda the Good Sorceress discovered what had happened and forced Mombi to turn Tip back into Ozma ; ever since then, the Princess has possessed the Throne of Oz ( although many realms within Oz remained unaware of her authority ).

Glinda of Oz: In Which Are Related the Exciting Experiences of Princess Ozma of Oz, and Dorothy, in Their Hazardous Journey to the Home of the Flatheads, and to the Magic Isle of the Skeezers, and How They Were Rescued from Dire Peril by the Sorcery of Glinda the Good is the fourteenth Land of Oz book written by children's author L. Frank Baum, published on July 10, 1920.

* The palace of Glinda the Good Witch, also known in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and other Oz books as the Witch of the South

Glinda ( in full, Glinda the Good Witch of the South ) is a fictional character in the Land of Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum.

Baum's 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz refers to Glinda as the Good Witch of the South.

Guph may have gotten his facts muddled, as none of the Nomes had been to Oz at that time, but it portends the depiction of Glinda as the Good Witch of the North rather than the South in the 1939 MGM film ( which is the most widely known version of Oz to date ).

Despite being titled " Glinda the Good ," she is not a one-dimensional caricature whose sole purpose is to embody and generate all that is generically considered " good ," as indicated above.

In the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North, not the South as in the book.

The MGM movie incarnation of the " Good Witch " knew the powers of the Magic Shoes, but withheld this information from Dorothy at the beginning, in order to facilitate her psychological and emotional maturity, which suggests that Billie Burke's Glinda is not as superficial as she appears to be at first glance, and that her flighty persona conceals her true depth and adult wisdom.

Maguire follows the 1939 movie in having Glinda ultimately become the Witch of the North, not the South.

Glinda also appears in Son of a Witch, Maguire's sequel to Wicked, now widowed from Sir Chuffrey.

In the official sequel to the 1939 film, operatic mezzo soprano Risë Stevens provides the voice of " Glinda, the Good Fairy " as she is described in the opening title sequence ( however, the Cowardly Lion refers to her as the Good Witch of the North later in the film.

Combining L. Frank Baum's original good witches of the North and of the South in the character of Glinda seems to be an attempt to make Baum's original story more compact, as befits an MGM film musical.

Glinda, looking very young and with long blonde hair, voiced by Wendy Thatcher, claims to be the sister of the Good Witch of the North despite the appearance of quite a large age gap ( Baum did always say she is much older than she looks ), and appears in the Emerald City in a similar deus ex machina to the MGM film.

Glinda is the Good Witch of the South and is played by Miss Piggy, as are her sisters the Good Witch of the North and the two Wicked Witches.

The musical opened on Broadway on January 5, 1975, with Stephanie Mills as Dorothy, Hinton Battle as the Scarecrow, Tiger Haynes as the Tin Man, Ted Ross as the Lion, Dee Dee Bridgewater as Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, André DeShields as the Wizard, Mabel King as Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West, Clarice Taylor as Addaperle, the Good Witch of the North, Tasha Thomas as Aunt Em, and Ralph Wilcox as Uncle Henry.

She is primarily known to modern audiences as Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the musical film The Wizard of Oz.

In 1938 she was chosen to play Glinda, " the Good Witch of the North ", in the Oscar-winning seminal 1939 musical film The Wizard of Oz, directed by Victor Fleming, with Judy Garland.

The Good Witch of the North wears a pointed white hat and a white gown decorated with stars, while Glinda, the Good Witch of the South ( called a " sorceress " in later books ), wears a pure white dress.

Ozma, once on the throne, prohibits the use of magic by anyone other than Glinda the Good, the Wizard, and herself – as, earlier, the Good Witch of the North had prohibited magic by any other witch in her domains.

She was in the middle of a battle between Glinda and the Good Witch of the North until Dorothy's house fell on her.

The Cowardly Lion ( voiced by Milton Berle ) puts on his best brave act when he tells Dorothy and the others he will slay the elephants, saying he will " snap off their tusks and use them for toothpicks ", but, like the Tin Man, he is too afraid after hearing the elephants are magical, and he suggests they go to find Glinda ( voiced by Rise Stevens ), the Good Witch of the North.

* Galinda Arduenna Upland ( later Glinda ): Elphaba's roommate at Shiz University, who eventually becomes the Witch of the North.

Like Maguire's novel, the film The Wizard of Oz combined the Witch of the South and the Witch of the North into one character, Glinda: The Good Witch of the North.

In 1985, she played Nurse in Romeo and Juliet with the Royal Shakespeare Company and her other credits with the RSC in the mid to late-1980s included Maria in Twelfth Night, First Witch in Macbeth, Glinda / Aunt Em in The Wizard of Oz and Parthy Ann in an Opera North version of Show Boat.

In the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, the Good Witch of the North is called Glinda, which is the name of the Good Witch of the South in the Oz novels.
