Part of the charm of Miyazaki's films is the atmosphere. Howl's Moving Castle is no exception. With airships bobbing overhead, bustling cities filled with steampunk-like technology, and the iconic theme playing softly in the background, Miyazaki creates unforgettable, beautiful world audiences want to explore. It all makes for a great, comforting w...
Throughout the movie, Sophie is shown reverting to her younger self whenever her self-esteem grows, or she's learned something new about herself. It's a powerful statement about the character's self-worthand her development over time. In the book, this isn't implied to be happening at all. Howl can see through the spell and knows that, theoreticall...
While the movie takes care of the Witch of the Waste pretty quickly, she's a constant threat in the book. The grudge of a jilted lover results in mistaking Sophie for her sister, Lettie, who she had seen Howl flirting with (Howl never seems to learn). After cursing Sophie, she disappears, stoking her grudge against Howl in the background. The Witch...
One subtle difference comes in the scene where Sophie visits the palace. In the movie, Sophie visits Madame Sulliman to convince her and the King how horrible Howl would be as their wizard. She ends up protecting him from the fate she's just seen the Witch of the Waste go through. Sophie stands up for someone she cares about, and she's shown changi...
Much of what makes both the book and the movie entertaining is the unconventional romance. In Miyazaki's film, the romance, while argumentative, is fond and sweet, and even involves time travel, guaranteed to make any romance 10 times better. In the book, that fondness is a lot harder to see. Since the book is told mostly through the eyes of the in...
Howl and Sophie's romance might be explored differently in each version of the story, but what about their dynamic overall? With two people as different as Sophie Hatter and Howl Pendragon, conflict is bound to arise. Can arguing be a love language? Maybe for Howl and Sophie, it can. After all, it's the main way they show their affection for each o...
Both the book and the movie are relaxing, but the book might be more so. Focused more on Sophie's daily life around the castle and her banter with Howl and Calcifer, the book tones everything down. While the movie added a castle door leading to a war-torn world to emphasize Miyazaki's anti-war themes, the book doesn't bother with one. RELATED: Stud...
You thought the green slime scene was bad in the movie? Diana Wynne Jones has Howl fill the whole castle with slime and conjure up shrieks of horror and despair that make the entire town wonder what's happening. Sophie and Michael (the book's much older version of Markl) are driven out of the house by the noise and find the entire community gathere...
While Sophie's sisters were minor characters in the movie, they originally had much bigger roles. Lettie, the youngest of three, manages to convince the middle sister, Martha, that they should switch bodies. Lettie can learn witchcraft from Martha's mentor and Martha can do what she really wants, which is to be a baker's apprentice. This also prove...
Miyazaki incorporated fantastic worldbuilding into his movie, but Diana Wynne Jones in some ways had to do less. A lot is explained by Ingary being magically connected to the real world. Midway through the book, it is revealed that Howl Pendragon is Howl Jenkins, a PhD student from Wales, who created a portal to another world (and, in true Howl fas...
