About
A young hatmaker named Sophie is transformed into an old woman and seeks out the wizard Howl in his moving castle.
In a world of magic and early 20th-century technology, young milliner Sophie lives in the town of Ingary.
After encountering the wizard Howl, she is cursed by the jealous Witch of the Waste and transformed into an elderly woman. Seeking to break the curse, Sophie leaves her home and, aided by a living scarecrow, finds Howl's moving castle. There she meets the fire demon Calcifer and the apprentice Markl.
