There are some things, such as the high quantity of magic, demons, spells, curses, and some violence in this movie that parents of little children probably won’t be a fan of. I loved it, surprisingly, as I haven’t been a huge fan of Miyazaki’s so far.
There is a lot more detail to this movie, obviously, but if you want to know what it is, go watch it :). (This last bit brings the war to an end because the scarecrow is actually the prince from a neighboring country who has been missing for quite some time and assumed kidnapped by Howl and Sophie’s country). Howl finds himself in this predicament, but Sophie, after removing Howl’s heart fromĬalcifer (a highly complicated part of the story I am not even going to attempt to explain as I don’t completely comprehend it myself) is able to talk the fire demon into life, saving him, Howl, and the rest of her “family” in the process, as well as breaking the spell on herself and the scarecrow from the beginning of the story. Howl starts fighting in the war, now that he “has something worth protecting (Sophie).” The wizards who have been fighting for the king all along have turned themselves into these giant flying creatures, kind of like birds, and are now unable to change back to being human.

Howl rescues Sophie from the wizard, and the Witch of the Wastes, who has now had her powers stripped by the king’s wizard, goes to live with them. Howl follows along behind her to make sure she is okay, which is good because the wizard is basically setting a trap for him, knowing the two are in love and not really related. He sends Sophie in his place to pretend she is his mother and talk him down to the king’s wizard, explaining Howl is really a very big coward who will not fight. In the war they are currently waging (as laid out in their original oaths to the king), Howl avoids going in because he doesn’t agree with the war and is terrified of the king’s high wizard, his mentor. Howl flying Sophie away from the soldiers When the king calls all witches and wizards to report to him for duty Howl slowly digests this and gets over himself, becoming less vain and more loving than ever before.Įventually, it is evident that Sophie has fallen in love with Howl. By then, Sophie’s had just about enough of Howl’s vanity and basically tells him to stop being so stupid. The wizard gets so upset that he throws a temper tantrum and floods the house with slime. One day, Sophie cleans the bathroom and accidentally switches Howl’s potions around so that when he showers, he winds up dying his hair black instead of his every day blonde. However, she is not really that worried because she considers herself ugly, even when she wasn’t under the curse. Sophie is a little intimidated by Howl as he is known in her town for eating the hearts of young, beautiful women. Howl’s apprentice soon comes to really like Sophie, and Howl keeps her on as his cleaning lady. He makes an agreement with Sophie that if she helps him break his curse, he’ll help her with hers. Inside, Sophie meets Calcifer, a fire demon who claims to be under some kind of curse himself that is tied to the wizard Howl. She runs into a scarecrow stuck upside down in a bush, whom she rescues, and he points her in the direction of Howl’s Castle, even helping her into the back door. Sophie, realizing she can’t let anyone see her like that without prompting questions (and the curse forbids her to talk about it), leaves her mother’s house in the middle of the night to go wander the wilderness and find a way to break the curse.

Howl’s Moving Castle is about a young girl named Sophie who gets changed into an old, ugly woman by an even uglier old witch, the Witch of the Waste.
