Top 10 Wizard of Oz Characters

Top 10 characters from hit fantasy movie The Wizard of Oz and its sequels. It is considered one of the greatest films of all time, holds the record for the most seen film in history, and has numerous sequel films.
The Top Ten
Dorothy Gale

She is the best character in the film. She tries desperately to get home, was loyal to her friends, and took them to see the Wizard.

I love Dorothy. She's my favorite character in The Wizard of Oz!

She is so beautiful and kind. She should be number one.

The Wicked Witch of the West

You dropped your house on my sister?! How could anyone be so unbelievably clumsy!?

The role of the Wicked Witch of the West is by far the most challenging (the Lion is probably second), and Margaret Hamilton pulled it off.

P.S. The munchkin with the certificate of death is the coroner.

She was a great villain and had some of the most quotable lines. Her presence was felt whenever she appeared on screen. She was terrifying and entertaining to watch, causing conflict in the story. A classic and unforgettable antagonist.

Glinda the Good Witch

She is the best character in the movie, and she is a big inspiration to me. I really want to be her in my dancing classes.

The Oz the Great and Powerful picture makes me not want to vote for her, but she is still one of the top five.

She is awesome, and I might be her in a play at school!

The Scarecrow

Not only is he very funny and smart, but he is also one of the most caring characters in the movie (no offense, Tin Man). He always looked the most concerned and empathetic toward Dorothy, and she even said she'd miss him the most. He was also the only one who hugged her at the end.

How amusing he is! He has come so far to get a role like this, and I am so proud of him I could just burst. He's got it for me!

He has a great song and an awesome dance routine.

The Cowardly Lion

He's one of my favorite characters in any movie ever. The stuff he does is hilarious, and he brings comedy to the film.

He's extremely funny and filled with personality. He's half the reason I love the movie.

He is my favorite character! So lovable and adorable. Plus, I love cats!

Wicked Witch of the East
Auntie Em

One of the more developed characters, despite her small screen and page time.

The Tin Man

Such an underrated character. I don't know if he deserves to be number one, but he should be up there.

Miss Gulch

I love to hate her. She is wonderfully evil.

Toto

He is amazing because he is almost like a human being. He loves Dorothy and accompanied her on the journey. When Dorothy was locked in the witch's castle, Toto went to get the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion to come rescue her.

Although Toto was a male character, the dog who played him was a female. But who cares? A nice little dog all the same.

The Newcomers

? Princess Ozma

I swear this has to be a young Glinda.

? May
The Contenders
Annie Gale
China Girl
The Wizard of Oz

His lines throughout the movie are fabulous, especially when he's handing things out!

I love the Wizard best because I had a play where I portrayed him. He is an amazing character.

The whole thing is about the Wizard of Oz because it's called The Wizard of Oz.

Winged Monkeys

They are the funniest monkeys I have ever seen! They can also fly, and their appearance totally freaks me out! I have more to say about why they are the best characters, but that's all I'm going to say for now.

I play Nikko in my play, and he and his monkeys are the best characters. Although Nikko is the only one who actually gets more than two minutes of screen time, they are all great, especially Nikko.

Clearly the best characters in the movie, even though they appear for only about two minutes in total.

Lollipop Guild
Uncle Henry
Angry Apple Tree
City Farmer
Talking Tree
Emerald City Gatekeeper
Jellia Jamb
Professor Marvel
Mombi
Nurse Wilson
Munchkin Mayor

I played the mayor in a play. Truly, he is awesome.
