This is something Howl would’ve noticed immediately, other characters insist, had he not been so vain and caught up in his own world. Similarly, it takes Howl about a week to realize that the dog Sophie takes in isn’t actually a dog-he’s a man cursed to take a dog’s form. ![]() Sophie is terrified of the scarecrow that continues to call at the moving castle, believing it’s evil, and it’s only when she’s willing to stop and think more critically about it that she learns the scarecrow contains part of the missing Wizard Suliman and is on the side of good.

However, she learns later that Howl isn’t at all evil, and that the rumors are ones that he allowed to spread specifically in Market Chipping to make himself look bad (he doesn’t want to attract too much attention for looking good). This castle has so many weird quirks and features that make it look like the most beautiful ugly monstrosity ever created. Out of that, the most iconic piece is obviously, the castle itself. For instance, Sophie, who’s from Market Chipping, has been raised to believe that Wizard Howl is evil-so evil that he literally eats girls’ hearts and steals their souls.
