Story

The story starts with a young woman by the name of Sophie who lives in a small town. Sophie's family owns a nice little hat shop. One day on her way to see her sister at the bakery gets lost in the back allies. 

A couple of guards saw her and started asking her if she would join them for a drink. A wizard comes up behind her and grabs her shoulder noticing that she was uncounterable and addresses her kindly and uses his magic to send the soldiers away.

The wizard happily escorted Sophie to the bakery and drops her off on the balcony of the balcony after they escape some creatures that were chasing the wizard. After that, Sophie's sister freaks out how wizards are mean and evil. 

That Night a witch named The Witch of the Waste went to the little hat shop that Sophie's family owns and got mad at Sophie for being rude. On her way out of the door, the witch cursed Sophie with a spell to turn her into an old woman.

So Sophie set out to find Howl to see if he can break her curse and on the way she meets a great many of new people and her and Howl work together to help each other out.

This Movie is a very sweet and warm movie even though it has some more serious themes in it.

This movie is a journey of growth and hope when times are hard.
