At the end of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy explains to Glinda that she must return home because her aunt and uncle cannot afford to go into mourning for her because it was too expensive.

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 ).

At the end of the film, Glinda reveals one of the slippers ' abilities: Dorothy can return home to Kansas by simply clicking her heels three times and repeating, " There's no place like home.

Under pressure from Glinda, Mombi admits that the Wizard brought her the infant Ozma and that she used her magic to transform her into the boy Tip.

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 ).

The Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow, now stuffed with paper money that is worthless in Oz except as stuffing, return to Winkie Country with Jack Pumpkinhead, the Gump is disassembled at his request ( though his head, which was a hunting trophy, can still speak ), Glinda returns to her palace in Quadling Country, the Wogglebug remains as Ozma's advisor, and the Sawhorse becomes her personal steed.

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.

In Glinda of Oz Ozma says that she herself was that fairy, though in The Marvelous Land of Oz we are told of her restoration to a throne long held by her ancestors.

Glinda magically rearranges the path through the mountains and Queen Ann and her army march out of Oz into a low-lying, befogged country.

The Scarecrow wants to help Cap ' n Bill, Button-Bright, and Trot, and Glinda sends him to Jinxland with some of her magic to aid him.

Glinda awakens in her palace in the Quadling Country and finds her Great Book of Records is missing.

When he learns that Elphaba is his daughter, he expresses visible sorrow when he learns of her ( supposed ) death, agreeing with Glinda to leave Oz in his balloon.

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 ).

After Ozma's ascent to the throne, Glinda continues to help the Queen of Oz to shape the future of the Land of Oz as a whole, no longer confining her powers to guarding her Quadling Kingdom in the South alone ; true to her character, Glinda does not interfere in affairs of State unless Ozma seeks her counsel or help specifically.

His final Oz book, Glinda of Oz, was published on July 10, 1920, a year after his death.

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.

She plays the most active role in finding and restoring Princess Ozma, the rightful heir, to the throne of Oz, the search for whom takes place in the second book, The Marvelous Land of Oz, although Glinda had been searching for Ozma ever since the princess disappeared as a baby.

Maguire has strongly suggested that the fourth book in The Wicked Years will be about Glinda.

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.

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.

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.

After such an attempt in The Emerald City of Oz, the book ends with Glinda creating a barrier of invisibility around the Land of Oz, for further protection.

In the movie this character is conflated with Glinda, who is the Good Witch of the South in the book.

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 ).

The Glinda in this book sometimes behaves in a snobby and mean fashion, whereas in The Wizard of Oz, as well as in the original Oz Books, she is portrayed as kind and gentle.

They were later enchanted by Glinda, and become a major source of emotional, personal, and political conflict in the last part of the book.

Both Gregory Maguire's 1995 revisionist novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West and the musical Wicked ( based on the book ), follow the model of the 1939 movie in giving the name " Glinda " to the character who grows up to become The Good Witch of the North.

Like in Baum's original book, Mombi is stripped of all her magical powers at the end of the story ( except by Princess Ozma, rather than Glinda, in this film ).

Thomas W. Olson's book of the musical, The Marvelous Land of Oz demonstrates the playwright's knowledge of L. Frank Baum's original stage musical, by having Glinda respond " That is the popular belief " to the Scarecrow's " Isn't Pastoria dead and gone?

The readers are left with the sense that Glinda is experienced and seasoned to the point of knowing that there isn't a magic cure for everything, and that certain things cannot be changed or perhaps should not be changed for better or for worse.

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.

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.

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 ".

They learn from Glinda that a girl named Ozma was hidden by the Wizard of Oz long ago and that she is the rightful ruler of the Emerald City, not the Scarecrow ( who did not want the job anyway ).

Glinda discovers the deception right away and leads the pursuit of Mombi, who is finally caught as she tries to run across the Deadly Desert in the form of a fast-and long-running Griffin ( though later books state that anyone who touches the Desert is transformed into dust ).

The Wizard learns that the crusty goat is actually Prince Bobo of Boboland, and the enchanter who transformed him into a goat is long since dead ; however, Glinda is able to change him back to human form.

Sure enough, Ugu is the culprit and the castle's magical defenses are techniques from Glinda and the Wizard.

In Oz: the Great and Powerful, when Oscar Diggs ( James Franco ), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he ’ s hit the jackpot — fame and fortune are his for the taking — that is until he meets three witches, Theodora ( Mila Kunis ), Evanora ( Rachel Weisz ), and Glinda ( Michelle Williams ), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone ’ s been expecting.

In the musical, this fact is revealed to the character Glinda, who accosts the Wizard with this information.

" 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 some of his last Oz books, namely The Tin Woodman of Oz and Glinda of Oz, L. Frank Baum indicated that Ozma has the appearance of a fourteen year old, and is therefore older than Dorothy Gale.

In The Magic of Oz, Glinda tells Dorothy that no one knows how old Ozma really is.
