The protagonist in this story would be Elsie, a girl, who can do a few magical spells. She is only beginning to learn how to do magic, with the help of a great witch Magenta. I really liked Elsie, she is smart but kind little witch, that is not afraid of adventures. I really liked all the characters chosen for the book, they are all different and interesting to read about. They all have their moods, that make them special and memorable.

The narrative of this novel was easy, adventurous and entertaining. This book is not very long, and it is filled with beautiful illustrations. The narrative is quite surprising, and it has interesting turns and unexpected surprises. I absolutely loved the magical larder, that makes any dish/food you wish for. (I need this in my life!!!

It's a classic!
So I may be a little biased as I was born in the same Minnesota town as Judy Garland. Even so, there's something so magical about witches, munchkins, a colorful faraway land, and a girl who just wants to go home. And let's not forget those sparkly shoes! This movie is a treasured part of my childhood!

A Great Feel Good Movie
Although this film doesn't reflect the reality of P.T Barnum's life; it misses out some of the darker elements to this story, I think the empowering message of this film, combined with fantastic songs and magical visuals, will put a smile on your face.

It was suposed to be a trilliogy but only the first was made.but i read the books and they were just as hard to understand '.and diffrent from each other
  
Just like any other Harry Potter fan, I read this book in a day. Loved the story, loved how it's all twisted with the previous parts and even though it doesn't contain all the mysteries and spells and magical moments, it has a lot to offer, like a deeply explained love between a father and a son, or a bravery and unsettled kid.. Lovely book!

I must have been one of a handful of people who thought this War/horror/fantasy film although having a good story and typical Del torro fare was just very good and doesn't make it as far as being a great film.
Inventive monsters make this one stand out somewhat, however I felt the pacing was a little off, a very magical effort nonetheless.
