La giovane Sophie vive a Market Chipping, nel lontano e bizzarro paese di Ingary, un posto dove può succedere di tutto, specialmente quando la Strega delle Terre Desolate perde la pazienza. Sophie sogna di vivere una grande avventura, ma da quando le sorelle se ne sono andate di casa e lei è rimasta sola a lavorare nel negozio di cappelli del padre, le sue giornate trascorrono ancor più tranquille e monotone. Finché un giorno la perfida strega, per niente soddisfatta dei cappelli che Sophie le propone, trasforma la ragazza in una vecchia. Allora anche Sophie è costretta a partire, e ad affrontare un viaggio che la porterà a stipulare un patto col Mago Howl, a entrare nel suo castello sempre in movimento, a domare un demone, e infine a opporsi alla perfida Strega.

Work Description
As the oldest daughter, willful, outspoken Sophie knew that her life could lead to nothing but mistakes. When her father dies, her stepmother sends her two sisters out to make their fortunes while Sophie continues to work in the family hattery. As she whispers her thoughts to the hats she trims, the shop begins to grow in popularity, until she offends the Wicked Witch of the Waste. The witch casts a spell turning Sophie into an old woman. Sophie leaves the shop and happens upon the castle of the Wizard Howl. He has a reputation for finding young women and eating their hearts but that doesn't stop Sophie from moving in and turning the lives of the whole castle, including Howl's apprentice and his fire demon, upside down in a battle against the wicked witch and for Sophie's future.
