About this product

Product Information

This entrancing classic fantasy novel is filled with surprises at every turn. An international bestseller, this much-loved book is the source for the Academy Award nominee for Best Animated Feature. Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl's castle. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there's far more to Howl--and herself--than first meets the eye. In this giant jigsaw puzzle of a fantasy, people and things are never quite what they seem. Destinies are intertwined, identities exchanged, lovers confused. The Witch has placed a spell on Howl. Does the clue to breaking it lie in a famous poem? And what will happen to Sophie Hatter when she enters Howl's castle? All fans of classic fantasy books deserve the pleasure of reading those by Diana Wynne Jones, whose acclaim included the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. As Neil Gaiman stated, she was "quite simply the best writer for children of her generation." The three books in the World of Howl are: Howl's Moving Castle Castle in the Air House of Many Ways Other beloved series from Dianna Wynne Jones include the Chronicles of Chrestomanci and the Dalemark Quartet.

Howl's Moving Castle is an enchanting story, rather like fairy tale.
Howl's Moving Castle is an enchanting story, rather like fairy tale.

Sophie goes on a journey to break the spell, she is under. On Sophie's journey she meets Howl. Howl's the powerful wizard that can break Sophie's curse. But its hard to break a curse that was put on you by the ancient powerful Witch of the Waste and to top it off you can't tell anyone about, because the curse prevents you.

In the end Sophie does not need to be saved by Howl because she saves him. This story of full of fairly tale like elements and interesting things like: magic, fire demons, moving castles, magic portals, missing princes, princess, curses, magical falling stars, magical disguises, heart less wizards, hopping scarecrows, seven league boots, and cloaks of invisibility. It is a excellent read and I would recommend this book to people who love fairy tale or fantasy stories.

Best cover
I did not like the book at all, all the things i liked about the movie was removed from the book and a hundred unneccecary things were added. The cover, however, was absolutely stunning and makes me want to display the book in my house had it not been such a stinging reminder of how wrong the book was to me.

Wonderful story, with fun, flawed characters
I'm a big fan of Miyazaki's adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle, and I've always wanted to read the book. I found the book to be quite excellent and I wish Miyazaki would have made Sophie have powers like she has in the book. I would love to read more adventures of Howl & Sophie. I'd also love some individual stories on Sophie's sisters. I don't agree with some reviews that they wanted to know more about the cities. I think the characters backgrounds, thoughts, and feelings are far more important.I'm a big fan of Miyazaki's adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle, and I've always wanted to read the book.

Used Howl's Moving Castle
The book arrived quickly. It's a used book so wear/use was expected. The story itself is light hearted and fun. It is different than the movie but still entertaining. It fills in a few holes/questions the movie leaves you with.

Movie is better
This book is written for a third grade reading level. It has cute parts, but I think the film makes the characters a bit more likeable. That being said, I'm still glad I read this book. It's always fun to see the differences of film and book.
