The story sets in a fictional monarchy, Ingary where many fairy-tale
magic are accepted ways of life. The main character, Sophie Hatter is the eldest
of three daughters and so deft with the needle that can make the most beautiful
hats and dresses in Ingary. But as an eldest, she always feels that she has no
chance of finding her fortune, so she accepts her dull life and decides to run
the family hat shop until she is turned into an old crone by the Witch of the
Waste, a powerful witch who was not satisfied by Sophie's hats. Sophie leaves her
shop and finds work as a cleaning lady for the notorious Wizard Howl, famed in
her town for eating the hearts of beautiful young women…
I know this story is very
famous for the movie by Hayao Miyazaki, but there are differences between the book
and the movie! For example, one of the main characters, Wizard Howl is more self-absorbed,
dishonest and cavalier but ultimately good-natured person and an extraordinary
wizard than the Howl in the movie. So you can enjoy the character’s features if
you read this novel! Yet I also recommend the movie because of great music and animation!
So if you are interested in, please read and watch “Howl’s moving castle”!!! :)
This is the trailer of the movie!

I'm totally agree with you!There was the big difference between both.I think book's story is better than the movie...If you know more interesting story book, then please tell me them!
Hi, this is Airi.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this movie, but I didn't know this story came from foreign country. I thought it was created by Hayao.
BTW I like men's charactors of Hayao's movies, because all of them are cool:) I like Ashitaka who appeared in Mononokehime is the best♥
