This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   The land of Oz is a real place. It only exists in Dorothy's dream.
   Dorothy encounters three magical women who help her along the way. They are the unnamed Good Witch of the North, Glinda the Good Witch of the South, and the Queen of the Field Mice. Dorothy only receives help from Glinda the Good Witch of the North.
   The Wicked Witch of the West is a minor character who appears near the end of the story. She is the main villain and is out to get Dorothy and her little dog throughout her time in Oz.
   Dorothy wears silver shoes that she got after her house killed the Wicked Witch of the East. The shoes are ruby slippers.
   Before entering the Emerald City, Dorothy, The Tin man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion must all wear special glasses. They don't have to wear glasses.
