Baum would also revise Glinda a bit as the books went on - instead of a witch, she was more-often identified as a sorceress; in his essay, "Why Gandalf Never Married", Terry Pratchett regarded a Sorceress as "..just a better class of witch," followed by "An Enchantress is just a witch with great legs."
And then there's Wicked, which hints that Glinda is more of a fraud, neither witch nor sorceress, but someone who is given a title - Glinda the Good.
At least they gave her a neat hat to wear..
Oh, wait..
I can't find any insight as to why Glinda wears a pointed hat in the poster for the musical, but in neither the musical or the film adaptation of the musical does it appear as part of her wardrobe.
Instead, Glinda wears a tiara.
a hat.
So..I'll use some A.I. magic to give Glinda a pointed hat:
As a bonus, I'll use A.I. to fancast Locasta..the following is the best result I got from suggesting Linda Cardellini in the prompt:
by the quirks of a certain facial feature Linda has and wound-up
adding more lines along the face and neckline...
A witch's hat is like a cowboy hat - it's part of their iconography. While it's true that Glida never wore a pointed hat in the books - rather, a crown with elements of a top hat and tiara - I liked the idea of her wearing a witch's pointed hat better.
