Is she in the movie, or just in the book?

Oh I see, in a series of Oz books. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't know the series of movies all that well, but according to Wikipedia there was an animatronic puppet of Billina.

I don't think there is a series of movies, just the one with Jydy Garland, but apparently there is a series of books. Which was news to me.

Oh My Hat! I had no idea about the following... I just did some looking on the internet out of my own curiosity, and according to the website 'ScreenRant.com':

"Determining the exact number of movies that have resulted from Baum's original novel is difficult, but the short and simple answer is that there have been 25 movies directly retelling the story of The Wizard of Oz, including Wicked. This figure incorporates the pre-war efforts, the definitive 1939 movie starring Judy Garland, and a range of different retellings bringing The Wizard of Oz characters to life in animation, various languages, a Disney adaptation of The Wizard of Oz ... , and even one version involving Tom and Jerry."

I was expecting about four movies.
