Zemeckis reimagined Roald Dahl’s book for his 2020 release, and in doing so he changed the physicality of the villainous characters. The witches appear in Zemeckis’ film with three-fingered hands, which Deadline notes is similar to the limb abnormality ectrodactyly, otherwise known as “split hand.” The witches in Dahl’s book are described as having “claws instead of fingernails” and are shown in an illustration on the first edition cover to have all five fingers....
