Mrs. Pendragon
That boy is dangerous
His power is too great for one with no heart
If he follows that path he'll wind up like the Witch of the Waste
Bring her
What happened?
I just restored her to her real age
All her powers are gone
Once upon a time, she was a magnificent witch
She made a bargain with a demon
who consumed her, body and soul, long, long ago
Our kingdom can no longer afford to turn a blind eye
to disreputable wizards and witches
If Hoel comes here to serve the kingdom,
I will teach him how to break with the demon
If not, I'Il strip him of his powers as I have taken hers
Now just a minute
Now I understand why Howl refused to come here
Something's not right
Forcing your aged guests to climb stairs, dragging them into strange rooms
It's like a trap
You call Howl heartless!
Yes, he's selfish and cowardly and unpredictable
But he's straight as an arrow He only wants to be free
Howl won't turn into an evil monster
He'll battle the demon on his own
I believe in him
Mrs. Pendragon... You' re in love with Howl
Howl... Howl's coming?
I want Howl's heart, I want it
That's enough from you Howl's not coming
Howl will most certainly come
Now, I've found his weakness
Your Majesty
As you are
How are you feeling?
Thank you for asking
Meetings bore me I flew out for a breather
How lovely
These are?
This is Wizard Howl's mother
I see
I appreciate it, but I don't intend to win any war eith magic
It's true that Suliman's powers shield our palace from bombs
But they just fall on neighboring towns
That's how magic eorks Right, Suliman?
Such eloquence today, Your Majesty
Suliman!
This is the final battle This time, we'll beat them to a pulp
Suliman, you've outdone yourself with that double. Await good news
Thank you kindly
Have my generals assembled?
It's been awhile, Howl
Delighted to see you doing so well
I saw right through you
I've kept my oath
I've no wish to fight you
I'll take my mother
I won't let you go
Don't look down, you'll be dragged down
It's time I showed your mother what you really are
Howl, don't! It's a trap
Hold tight
Sophie, sit up front
Oh, no, Sophie, you brought the whole gang along
Nice doggie
You're just Suliman's spy
Oh, well, too late to toss you now
Sophie, you steer
What! I can't possibly!
They're after us
I'Il tackle them. Fly straight to the castle in the Wastes
What! That's impossible!
Don't worry, the ring will guide you
Summon Calcifer with your heart
Summon Calcifer?
It's glowing
Follow the light You'Il be there by nightfall
Why send me to Suliman if you were coming yourself?
Your presence gave me the courage for it
She's too terrible to face on my own
You've saved me I was in grave danger back there
Don't let go!
- You're good - Stop joking!
We've got a lead now
I can give you 5 minutes of invisibility, now's your chance
Howl!
No, thank you
Thank you. That's the most fun I've had in ages
I supposed Howl thinks he's escaped...
His mother's awfully young
We're not far That's my hometown
Don't look so friendly I don't trust you
The castle They've come to meet us
Sophie!
Markl, help!
I don't know how to stop this thing!
Sophie!
Doggie
Markl
I'm home
Sophie, are you hurt?
You' re home!
Thank you for coming to meet us
Oh, no, you've gone too far
I wonder if Howl's back
Howl?
Howl? Is it you?
Are you hurt? In pain?
Stay away
I want to help you
I want to break the spell you' re under
You can't even break your own spell
But I love you!
Too late
Howl!
Howl must be back
Sophie, you'd better figure out how to break my spell quick
We're both running out of time
Meaning Howl will turn into a monster? Is it true?
I can't tell you that I'm a demon
Calcifer, Suliman told me,
Howl has given you something very precious
What is it? Where is it?
That's confidential information
And if I threaten to dump water over you?
How dare you! Howl will die with me
Good morning, Turnip
We've got to be brave
Ready, Sophie!
OK! Open wider, Calcifer
Here goes! Push!
Heave!
I... said... move!
Come on!
They call it a castle, but once you get inside, it's a junk heap
It's time to eat!
Here, old girl
But, Sophie she's the Witch of the Waste
No need to worry
Why's she staring at me?
Such a pretty fire
Howl
Hello, everyone
Welcome home
Master Howl, can we keep this puppy?
An old Witch and Madam Suliman's dog
Why'd you let them in, Calcifer?
Don't look at me! They blew in with Sophie
Sophie, always dramatic...
So you're Turnip
You' re under quite a spell, too
Seems everyone in our little family is complicated...
He's so handsome
This is a busy day We're moving
Moving?
Oh, good. There aren't any shops, here in the middle of nowhere
Madam Suliman can track us down in no time, here
But you'll have to stay behind The magic in your spell's too risky
All right, that's done
Take it away, Calcifer
Excellent
Stay right where you are
Be gentle...
Here goes
We've moved You can get up now
Amazing, Master It's so grand
What a pretty fire
This is...
I added a bathroom For our growing family
Sophie, come here! Sophie!
I added a bedroom, too Go in
This is... why?
I thought it would suit you Do you like it?
Yes, it's perfect for a housekeeper
I got you new clothes, too Open them later. Next
Sophie! Come here! Quick!
A courtyard!
There's a shop, too
Let's go, Heen!
See that new color on the dial? There's a new exit
My gift to you, Sophie Step outside
It's my secret garden
Beautiful
Did you make it with your magic?
Only a little, to help the flowers
Thank you, Howl!
It's like I'm dreaming
Sophie
How mysterious I feel I've been here before
I could cry with happiness
Come
Look
A sweet little house
My favorite hideaway
When I was little I spent my summers there alone
Alone?
My Uncle, the Wizard, left it to me in secret
Make yourself at home there, Sophie
What's erong?
I'm scared
I'm afraid you'Il go off and disappear somewhere, once I'm inside
Howl, tell me the truth
I don't mind if you' re a monster
I want to make sure that you'll all live comfortably
Why not a flower shop, with all these flowers?
You'd be good at it, Sophie
And then, you'd go away?
I want to help you, Howl
I'm not beautiful and I'm only good at cleaning...
Sophie, you are beautiful
The good thing about being old is that you've so little to lose...
Why's that flying here?
A battleship?
On its way to burn cities and people
The enemy's? Ours?
What difference does it make?
Murderers
Look at all those bombs
It stopped
Did you do that?
I'm just tinkering It won't crash
Howl!
Oops, looks like they' re onto us
Madam Suliman's deputies Let's go back
Run! Move those legs
Hurry on in!
No! Don't let go!
What happened, Sophie?
I've had it with this place!
Good night, Sophie
Good night
Don't worry about Master Howl, Sophie Sometimes, he's gone for days on end
Thank you, Markl
Need the toilet?
I'm fine
Good night
You're in love
Sighing away like that
I thought so
Were you ever in love?
Of course I was I'm still in love
What?
Men, why ever should we want them...
But a young man's heart is so delicious!
Unbelievable
And so adorable, too
What is that?
Air raid siren
Air raid?
It's not for here But best not go out tonight
Suliman's creatures are searching high and low for our house
What a good fire, hiding us so well
Sophie, a stranger got in!
Mother
Sophie!
Where have you been! I searched for you everywhere!
But, oh, look how you've aged!
It's all my fault
I'm so sorry, Sophie!
Mother...
I barely recognize the house
Who is that?
Oh, your landlady
Sophie, I've got a new husband!
He's such a wonderful man And he's rich, too!
We can all live together again
You'll never have to clean again
But I'm happy here...
Really?
Oops, I forgot
My car's waiting I've got to run
I'm so glad I found you again
We'll really catch up next time
In the meantime, you take care
A peeping-bug, eh? The oldest trick in the book, Suliman
All yours, Cal
May you find happiness, Mother
Thank you You too, Sophie
I've done what I was told Take me back to my husband
Yes, I'm sure Madam Suliman will be pleased
Forgive me, Sophie...
Look at all these people
They're all running away The town will be empty
Do you wish to run, too?
That's what that lady spoke of...
So, she did I'm glad we made up
Don't go, Sophie!
I love you, Sophie Please stay
I love you, too, Markl Don't worry, I won't go
Really!
Are we a family?
Yes, we're family
Oh, good!
I'll never let Suliman get hold of Howl
But the paper says we won
Only fools swallow such lies
How strange I can't get Calcifer going
Grandma, will you stop that?
Such an awful stink
Why deny an old lady her pleasures
Open the window, Markl
I wouldn't open that noe...
In Calcifer's present state, he can't possibly keep them out
Markl!
Close it quick!
Look after Grandma, Markl I'll check on the shop
How dare you, now? If you've energy to spare, put out the fires
Howl!
Dramatic as usual...
Howl!
I'm sorry I had too many enemies, tonight
Howl, oh, Howl
Master Howl! Sophie!
Calcifer, be strong
Madam, was that a gift from Suliman?
That granny fed me something nasty
Why, if it isn't Howl
I feel we need a nice long chat
Likewise, Madam But we've no time, now
How unlike you You're not running away
Until later, then
Stay here, Sophie Calcifer will protect you
I'll see to things outside
Wait, Howl!
Don't go! Please stay
Another round of bombs is coming Even Calcifer can't stop those
Let's run away Don't fight
I'm through running away
I've finally found someone I want to protect...
You
Howl!
That's our town
There's Howl
Howl!
Sophie! Turnip...
Markl, come inside!
Move? You' re nuts There's nothing there
No, as long as we stay here, Howl will keep fighting
He's better off a coward
Grandma, get up
Going for a stroll?
Suliman will find us, right away
She already has. At this rate, Howl will never make it back alive
Sophie!
The castle's falling apart
That's all right Markl, take Grandma
Sure
You, too, hop up now
I can't! My contract says I can't leave the fireplace
If you two can't solve this, I'Il do it for you
Watch it!
Cut it out! Cut it out!
If I leave, the house will collapse
Fine!
We're out
I'd better go last
Even I don't know what'll happen...
I told you, it would collapse
Rain!
Is that heading for town?
Look after Grandma, Markl
Turnip, find us a way in
Don't worry, Grandma I'll take care of you
Markl, we can get in here
The roof's leaking I'll go out
Wait here
It's wet, here...
Hurry
Too damp
Bring Grandma here, Markl
The castle's empty
I told you, if we'd stayed put, Howl and I could've handled it
Calcifer, please You're my last hope
I want to go to Howl Move the castle
I know you can do it You're so strong
But there's no chimney here...
And the wood's damp...
As the saying goes, "The best blaze brightest in adversity"
I've heard that, but...
You really think so?
You're so pretty, Cal
Sit here, Grandma
Then, give me something of yours, Sophie
Of mine?
I can't do it alone How about your eyes?
My eyes?
This?
Amazing, Calcifer! You are the best!
Imagine what I could do with your eyes and your heart
Heart! You hace a heart?
Oh, my!
There's Howl He's trapped
Hurry, Calcifer!
Don't!
Grandma!
Stop it!
Howl's heart
Cut it out!
Grandma!
It's hot, hot!
Let go!
You'll die, Grandma
No, it's mine!
Sophie!
She's so mean That's mine
Oh, no, Heen, look what I've done I poured water on Calcifer
What if I've killed Howl, too...
It's moving... Is Howl alive?
Show me where he is
The castle door...
Heen...
Howl...
This must be Howl's childhood...
Howl! Calcifer!
It's Sophie! Wait for me! I promise I'll come back for you
Wait for me in the future!
I'll walk there Heen, I'll walk
I can't stop crying
Howl
I'm sorry I took so long
You've been waiting all this time
Take me to Calcifer
Is he dead?
No, he's fine
Grandma...
Don't look at me I don't have anything
Please
Grandma
You want it that badly?
Yes
Oh, well, in that case... You'd better take good care of it
There
Thank you, Grandma
Calcifer
Sophie... I'm all worn out
If I give Howl's heart back, will it kill you?
Probably not, if you do it, Sophie
After all, we both survived the water you dumped on me
I'd better try, then
It's all warm and fluttery like a little bird
It's still only a child's heart
May Calcifer live a thousand years,
and may Howl recover his heart...
I'm alive!
I'm free!
He moved, he's alive!
You broke Calcifer's spell!
Turnip!
Turnip, are you OK?
I'll get you a new stick, right away
Thank you, Turnip
Thank you, Sophie
I'm a prince from the next kingdom
A cruel spell turned me into a scarecrow
A spell that only your beloved's kiss could break
Exactly. And if Sophie hadn't saved me, I would have died
My, you're good-looking
What a racket What's the fuss?
I feel terrible Like I'm trapped under a stone
Oh, yes, a heart's a heavy burden
Oh, Sophie, your hair is just like starlight
It's so beautiful
I love you, Howl! How wonderful
So, now you see how Sophie feels
You'd best go home and make them stop this war
That's exactly what I shall do
When the war is over, I shall return
"A fickle heart is the only constant in this world"
My, you have a way with words
I'll wait for your return, then
Why should you contact me now?
What on earth have you been up to?
A happy ending, I see
You two-timer
Well, there it is
Bring the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense
Let's put an end to this foolish war
It's Calcifer!
You didn't have to come back
I really missed you all Besides, it looks like rain...
Thank you, Calcifer
