Miyazaki's Howl is basically the perfect man, but Howl in the original book is...a little different. ;w;

    "really quite old, well into his twenties" That statement gave me heartburn.
  • It's incredible how, no matter the style, no matter the description, i can never stop simping for howl
  • @bituin5908
    Apparently the reason why howl even has a moving castle is because HE TRIES TO AVOID TAXES. Absolute crime man
  • @india5692
    Someone said “book howl is how everyone sees howl while movie howl is how howl sees himself” and I honestly think that’s very accurate
  • @kaya5649
    The movie: How Howl recalls the story The book: How Sophie recalls the story
  • My favorite thing I've seen people say about the movie vs the book is that the book is Sophie's version of how they met and the movie is Howl's version 🤣
  • @luneluna307
    I loved book Sophie’s sass and stubbornness so much. As for Howl, his drama in the novel had me in tears from laughing so hard. There’s this time where he gets a cold: “I feel ill,” he announced. “I’m going to bed, where I may die.” He tottered piteously to the stairs. “Bury me beside Mrs. Pentstemmon,” he croaked as he went up to bed. Howl’s voice was presently heard shouting weakly, “Help me, someone! I’m dying from neglect up here!”

    My favorite part about Howl is that Diana Wynne Jones didn't understand why fans told her that they wanted to marry him. Her response to women falling in love with him was, and I quote, "much as I love him, he is the last person I would want to marry. Apart from anything else, I would want to get in the bathroom sometimes." 😂
  • @endxuy939
    me: hmm, howl’s character is snobby, vain, dramatic, annoy- also me: PRETTY BOY 🗣🗣🗣 PRETTY…PR
  • @alexadams8833
    Honestly the book version of Sophie is really underrated, after turning into an old lady Sophie basically becomes and aggressive menace to society with her constant invasive cleaning. On top of that, Sophie literally beats the witch by repeatedly whacking her over the head with a flaming stick.
  • @rosethomas3233
    Fun fact: that "elaborate blonde hair" is probably a mullet. Diana Wynne Jones said that Andre Agassi was exactly how she imagined Howl and in the 80s (when she saw him) he had a WILD mullet ;-;
  • @darjiaethera
    Howl's Moving Castle is one of those rare instances where the book and the movie were completely different and yet I adore both of them.
  • the description of howl could’ve been shortened to “fancy blond prick” but the drawing was accurate nonetheless
  • @arii.2664
    WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW CUTE MICHAEL LOOKS!?
  • @l.lisboa_
    Sophie in the books IS A SAVAGE i can't get enough of her running after howl with weed poison
  • I would think it's a much higher honor for a writer to get a Ghibli adaptation than a Hollywood or Netflix adaptation. Even if they made a lot of changes from the source material, it doesn't feel like some kind of downgrade and that's really rare to see. I guess if I ever wrote a book that got animated by Studio Ghibli or a live action by Hollywood, I would be infinitely more excited for a Ghibli anomation.
  • @jelly9257
    Quote from book Howl,"I assure you, that I am not drunk."
  • @bluelfsuma
    I dunno if this is true, but: My favorite thing about the book version is that Howl is, apparently, a guy from our world, who figured out magic and teleported himself to the magic world.
  • @NullitasAmare
    I think with Sohpie, her yellowish eyes was more regarding her scalera, since older individuals tend to have a yellowing in the eyes from exposure to the elements. She actually was described as having blue-green eyes! I only recall this because i drew her from the book once too, in highschool I believe. Lol
  • @Jazilou
    Fun fact! Book Howl could have removed the Witch's curse in a snap, but Sophie had already placed a second, much stronger curse on herself by affirming that she was, in fact, a boring old woman. She talked it into being, so neither Howl or Calcifer could remove it until Sophie changed how she saw and talked to herself.
