Ive read A Wrinkle in Time twice in my life and Ill admit its been a while since the last time but Im pretty sure the book failed to feature a very encouraging, five-story-tall Oprah.

Ava DuVernays new take on the classic, however, does. While DuVernays movie is largely faithful to the beats of Madeleine LEngle, it also includes some notable changes actually, some giant ones. Among them:

In the novel, Oprahs magical character, Mrs. Which, struggles to appear in a set form and speaks in a drawn-out voice. In the movie, Mrs. Which appears as a gigantic being, towering over everyone and everything. And we couldnt help but wonder: Why?

Was it just to show off her big bedazzled eyebrows? Was it because she read The Secret? (I knew I shouldve read The Secret.) Is there even a reason?

Writer Jennifer Lee recently opened up to HuffPost about this inarguably important question, as well as a few other major diversions from the book moviegoers should know.

Why is Oprah a giant?
