Among all the characters, Calcifer was my favourite one!
Howl's Moving Castle is quirky and enchanting. Diana Wynne Jones' writing has an innocent wonder, humor, and subtle wisdom that is pure magic. I have read a shelf-full of her books and loved every one. This book not only didn't disappoint but was a delightful surprise. None of the characters is quite what they seem, even to themselves, and everything is in a lovely, chaotic mess.

The movie was awesome, this comic not so much. BUT because of my love for Studio Ghibli and its works I cannot rate this lower than three stars.
I got this for my birthday 😄 *happy dance*
I had never heard about this story, book or movie until last week when I saw the movie and quickly became highly obsessed with it. Thus getting the comic version of said movie as well as a picture book as well as the book of the original story that inspired it.

To put it kindly, this is an interesting book.
For the /r/fantasy bingo, I’m attempting to complete three boards: a generic, anything goes board, a board comprised of entirely female authors, and a comic book one. The comic book one is a bit tricky – some of the squares, like “desert setting” and “steampunk” are straightforward. Others, like “Any /r/Fantasy Goodreads Group Book Of The Month” or “Novel By an /r/Fantasy AMA Author OR Writer of the Day” are problematic and are requiring research and ...more

This story increased my imagination, and just wish there were more sequels!:D
I had so much fun reading this.
I REALLY needed something short and easy to read, as I am about to focus on a long novel.
I have read the original novel, and seen the movie so many times. Loved them. I got this picture book when I visited Universal and Epcot, in Orlando. When went to the Japan section, and I saw this book. My sister got it for me.
That was five years ago.
I haven't read it at all, 'til now. I don't know why.
I absolutely adored this! I loved the characters, and nice large print. ...more

The picture book version of the movie was a little hard to follow not having seen the movie first. I may change my rating once I've seen the movie. The ending seemed quite abrupt and it was a little hard to follow. It was a fun magical journey though.

I bought this as an Art reference for my future paintings. I don't regret one bit.

When you like Ghibli, you like Ghibli. No matter in what kind of form it is brought to you.
This book is the first part of the Howl's moving castle movie.

I love movies created by Miyazaki. It is so popular in China. There is always some hidden message in his work. His imagination is so wide that expand to another world.

I really enjoyed this one. Just a simple book that follows the movie but fun and the art is so nice.
Gorgeous illustrations!
It was an interesting start to the books such a world if fantasy. Of all the studio Ghibli films it was good and the book portrayed it beautifully. Also a good manga too.
Beautiful drawings straight from the movie. Manga style, and easy to read and understand. Only part one, so looking forward to seeing the volumes!
Pretty artwork. A favorite movie.

Enchanting yet confusing.
We are introduced to the adventures of Howl, his moving castle, Sophie, and the wicked witch.
