What was the wicked witch's name in Wizard of Oz?

Answer 1

Almira Gulch, as played by Margaret Hamilton [December 9, 1902-May 16, 1985], has an order from the Sheriff's Department to remove Toto from the farmhouse where the dog lives with Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. She puts Toto in the basket behind the seat of her bicycle. But, unbeknownst to her, Toto escapes as Gulch pedals off.

Answer 2

There were four witches in the book The Wizard of Oz, three in the 1939 film version. According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], Dorothy met four witches, of whom two were good and two bad. She ended up killing both of the bad witches. Her house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East. She threw water on, and melted, the Wicked Witch of the West. Both of the bad witches remained nameless in the book and the 1939 film version.

Much later, author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] named them Elphaba Thropp of the West, Nessarose Thropp of the East.

There were two good witches in Baum's book, one in the 1939 film version. The book identified the Good Witch of the South as Glinda. Baum didn't give the Good Witch of the North a direct first name in the book. But much later in the book, he brought in the story of Gayelette, whom he presented as a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North.

Was this the older Good Witch of the North in her youth? In his subsequent 1902/1903 stage version of the book, Baum out and out named the Good Witch of the North as Locasta. But there were inconsistencies between the book and the 1902/1903 stage versions. So this may not have been a name that he intended to stick with. The 1939 film version had only one good witch ka Glinda the Good. Her position as Good Witch of the South was eliminated. Instead, she ruled over the North.

Answer 3

The witch is called the wicked witch of the west.

In the classic Wizard of Oz books by L. Frank Baum. The Wicked Witch did have a name it was "Mombi". This is easily searched in Google.

In the movie she had no name.

Another fact between the books and the movie. Is there were no ruby slippers. In the books they were silver shoes.

And Dorthy was not protected by the shoes in the book as she is in the movie, She is protected by the Good Witch of the North's kiss. So witch cannot harm or kill Dorothy.

She also did not have a broom in the book she had a umbrella which she used to hit Toto with.

Answer 4

Elmira Gulch is the name of the lady who takes Toto away from Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, this is an event that happens in the beloved 1939 movie version, but not the original 1900 book edition, of "The Wizard of Oz." It occurs during the opening sequences in Kansas. The incident takes place because the unleashed Toto keeps getting into Miss Gulch's garden and even attacks her. She finally takes out papers that give her custody until the law can decide what to do with him.
