She pleads with the Witch to give her Calcifer, and when she does, Sophie pushes him into Howl's chest. Calcifer flies out, once more a star, and flies away. The remains of the castle break apart once Calcifer leaves, and they shot down a hill towards a cliff, but are saved by Turnip Head, who loses his pole in the process. Sophie kisses

Howl Jenkins Pendragon (wizard): At first, they don't seem to like each other much, and simply view each other like strangers. But later, the two fall in love, and marry at the end of the movie. In the sequel (novel), they have a son. The book is a fun, breezy ride, half fantasy adventure, half domestic farce; the intimately described moving castle becomes a cozy home for both the reader and Sophie. Staying on the pretext of acting as Howl’s much-needed cleaning lady, Sophie is unapologetically concerned with the feminized domestic, always scrubbing and darning and sweeping, exploring her talents in horticulture and sewing. Sophie’s fanciful world is rife with both good and evil powers. The king has his own appointed wizard, the mysterious Wizard Howl’s behemoth of a castle wanders the countryside, and everyone lives in fear of the ruthless Witch of the Waste. Whether it’s good or bad, Sophie knows it’s best to look out for magic, but despite her care, our heroine still finds herself on the receiving end of one of the Witch of the Waste’s infamous curses.

In the book, Howl's Moving Castle, Sophie is the eldest of three daughters of hat maker, Mr. Hatter, in the magical kingdom of Ingary, where many fairy-tale tropes are accepted ways of life. When Sophie's father dies, her step-mother, Fanny Hatter sets her to making hats in the family hat shop. She turns out to spend all the money while Sophie makes the hats. Sophie's appearance in the movie depicts her as a young, innocent-looking girl with brown eyes and long brown hair worn in a plait that is tied with pink ribbons. She is typically seen wearing a sun hat with a red ribbon and a pink brochette, and a pastel green dress with a white collar and three buttons on the chest, all of which contribute to her plain appearance. This reminds me of how Sophie herself changes through her interactions with others in the novel. Her spats with Howl teach her that she is opinionated, not demure; her conniving with the fire demon reveals her intelligence and magical ability; her misapprehensions of her sisters shows her that just because she’s the oldest doesn’t mean she knows everything. Throughout the novel, Sophie juggles these kinds of fantastic perceptions while battling the truths of her fanciful world, and, as such, nothing is quite like what you’ve read in fantasy stories before. The plot really begins when Sophie’s father dies and Fanny sends the older girls to make their fortunes, leaving Sophie to work in the family hat shop. She takes to it in her resigned fashion, convinced it’s the best she can do, and starts wearing only gray and talking to the hats she’s trimming, rather than to the customers. When the book’s glamorous villain, the Witch of the Waste, appears in the shop one day, an altercation ensues and the Witch puts Sophie under a curse that transforms her into an old woman.

House of Many Ways takes place three years after Castle in the Air. Sophie is a sorceress who is invited to help in the search for the kingdom's missing treasury, mainly because she is Howl's wife and one kingdom cannot ask the help of another kingdom's Royal Wizard. So while they asked for Sophie instead, Howl chose to come along as well in the disguise of an adorable young boy named "Twinkle", claiming to be Sophie's nephew. In the end Sophie helps solve the crime from the prince, and Howl discovers the location of the mysterious Elfgift. As a little girl who loved to read, I was offered a parade of books about other little girls—many of whom also loved to read—to find myself in. There was saccharine Heidi, feisty Anne of Green Gables, spoiled Mary in The Little Princess. They were precocious, they rebelled, but their non-fatal flaw was always rectified by the book’s end. Jo March got hold of her temper; Harriet the Spy learned not to be such an asshole to her friends. Calcifer (fire demon) Sophie and Calcifer are relatively good friends as he is the first one to know about her curse.The book subtly hints at where Sophie’s iron-clad worldview comes from. We’re told that she “read a great deal, and very soon realized how little chance she had of an interesting future.” The book’s grand conclusion is less about change than self-revelation.

The “curse” that Howl is under, which Sophie originally misidentifies as a spell, is really a poem by John Donne, written on a child’s homework assignment. (“‘Go and catch a falling star, / Get with child a mandrake’s root, / Show me where the past years are, / Or who cleft the devil’s foot, / Teach me to hear mermaids singing, / Or to keep off envy’s stinging, / And find / What wind / Serves to advance and honest mind.’ Tell what this is about and write a second verse yourself.”) Even Donne’s poetry, even curses, Wynne Jones seems to be saying, are not above revision. The next morning, Howl tells Sophie that he's been summoned to the Royal Palace so he can defend the country in a war. He also tells her that he's a coward and all he does is hide. He then tells Sophie to go the Palace as his mother to convince Madame Suliman that he's too cowardly to show his face. Sophie goes to Kingsbury, along with a ring that Howl gives her, and on her way to the castle, she meets up with the Witch of the Waste. Michiyo Yasuda elaborated on choosing the right colors for Sophie's design, "I was determined to make the aged Sophie look cute, but I had to dismiss that approach almost immediately. She simply wouldn't look old without her skin being wrinkled and blemished. She might appear plain, but I made sureshe would have the appeal of a refined old lady. I would alter the colors according to each scene. For example, when she cheerfully cleans the rooms, I added some brightness to her skin and clothes. I did the same with the Witch of the Waste when she's stunned afte rlosing her magical power, but then ends up becoming kind. I wanted to make her buoyant there. I've taken this approach ih previous films, but in this one I really worked on conveying the emotional developments with colors in minute detail. [2]As much as Howl’s is about the interpretation of stories, it’s also about creating our own. We tell ourselves lies—or, to be more generous, stories—about who we are all the time. That’s the strange beauty of words: they both hold and confer power. We speak things into existence. Howl’s Moving Castle is a well-known high fantasy novel written by British author Diana Wynne Jones, and was first published in 1986. At the beginning of “Howl’s Moving Castle,” Sophie Hatter is first seen wearing a sun hat with a red ribbon, a pink brochette and a pastel green dress with a white collar. After Sophie is cursed, she continues to wear the same hat with her hair in a braid alongside a blue dress, designed similarly to the green, and a long-skirted yellow dress by the very end of the film. Sophie’s dress is reminiscent of a day dress from the 1890s that takes from older Victorian wrappers . In the film, she actually mentions that right after she is cursed into a much older version of herself, her clothing “finally suits her,” indicating she dresses rather “old” for her age. With a later Edwardian period as the setting, it would make sense for Sophie to describe a Victorian wrapper-like dress as old-fashioned. At the beginning of the story, Sophie’s character is shy and quiet, believing herself to be ugly. Unlike her mother and her sisters, Sophie tends to dress more reservedly in clothes that do not resemble the popular fashion of the time. Her clothing reflects the view she has of herself as having a place only in relation to the people around her instead of having a distinct place of her own. Her dresses throughout the film are all quite similar to one another as iterations of the same dress, the only significant difference being in color. The selected range of garment design was intentional so that Sophie’s dress essentially became part of her character. When her dress became a solidified piece of her character design, the garment did not have the ability to further influence how she developed, but rather she herself determined the worth and level of importance of the dress. The dress being seemingly plain as well allowed it to accompany Sophie’s journey into her character development. The dress’s design worked alongside Sophie’s personality and her growth as a character. The article “Fashion Analysis in Hayao Miyazaki’s Films” by Darlyn Granja describes how it goes from being a simple dress to “a symbolic piece that is shaped and personalized by Sophie and her character development, rather than the dress shaping Sophie.” The gown itself did not provide beauty for Sophie. Instead, her growing self-assurance resonated in her clothing. Howl’s dramatizes a fundamental tension of childhood, between the cultural expectations produced by the media kids consume (much of which is explicitly meant to be instructive) and the futures and desires in their own minds. While many children’s books follow protagonists who are readers themselves, this suspicion of stories feels rare for the genre. Sophie looks to stories to tell her what her life will be, and she buys into it entirely, to her detriment. This product includes patterns only for the top.
