Howls moving castles avalible character list!!!
Wizard Howl is a mysterious, reclusive wizard. He is twenty-seven years old and known for being very flamboyant and wicked. His notorious moving castle has recently been spotted near Market Chipping and rumours have begun to spread that he is searching for beautiful young women whose hearts he may steal. He comes from Wales, a country unknown to most in the book, where his family still remain unaware of his activities in Sophie's world or of its existence.
Despite his reputation, Howl is in reality an endearing, charming man who is intelligent and considerate, if somewhat self-appreciative and stubborn at times. He enjoys "slithering out" of uncomfortable situations, often in comical ways.
Howl is described as being tall and suave, fond of dyeing his hair and wearing impressive suits. However, he is described by Calcifer as "very vain for a plain man with mud-coloured hair" - Howl is not naturally handsome, but he has charm.
Sophie Hatter, the eldest of the Hatter sisters, is a very pretty fiery redhead. While her siblings' lives become increasingly dramatic, she finds herself resigned to run her father's old hat shop. When the Witch of the Waste visits her shop she is turned into an old crone and eventually becomes a cleaning lady in Howl's castle. She enters into a bargain with Calcifer, Howl's fire demon who runs the magic behind the castle, who promises to break the spell on her if she breaks the contract between him and Howl
Calcifer is Howl's resident fire demon. As the result of a mysterious bargain with Howl some years ago he agrees to heat and power the castle. Although he is bound to the hearth he has a great amount of magic. He promises to use his magic to break the curse on Sophie, providing she breaks the contract between him and Howl. Howl describes Calcifer as "his weakest point" because he wouldn't give away another demon if it entered the castle, even under hostile intentions, although his statement is true in more ways than one.
The Witch of the Waste is one of the most powerful magicians in all Ingary. She was banished by the late King to The Waste fifty years before the story starts for causing havoc in the country. She and Howl had a brief relationship which led to him dumping her hurriedly. Angered by this, the Witch curses Howl, so that upon falling in love he will have to return to the Witch. She also curses Sophie by turning her into an old woman
Michael Fisher is Howl's 15 year old apprentice. He originally lived in Porthaven until both of his parents died, leaving him an orphan. He often goes to Cesari's and buys pies and other baked goods. He met Martha there and fell in love with her.
Lettie Hatter is Sophie's seventeen-year-old sister. She is very beautiful with dark glossy hair and blue eyes. She is also strong-minded and has apprenticed herself to the renowned witch Mrs Fairfax so that she can learn magic. (In order to do this she uses an enchantment to temporarily take on the appearance of Martha.) She is fond of a stray dog which is in fact a bespelled human. When she finds out Sophie has been bespelled and lives in Howl's castle, she sends the dog to protect Sophie from Howl's charm.
Martha Hatter is Sophie's younger sister. She is slender and fair with big grey eyes, but she takes on Lettie's appearance to become an apprentice at Cesari's, Market Chipping's renowned pastry shop. Her ambition is to get married and have 10 children. She loves Michael Fisher.
Fanny Hatter is Mr Hatter's second wife. She used to be the youngest shop assistant in the hat shop. She is Martha's mother and is kind to all three girls. When she is widowed, she takes charge of the hat shop and places Lettie and Martha in promising apprenticeships, whilst keeping Sophie to trim hats. Shortly after Sophie disappears, she marries a wealthy man, Mr Sacheverell Smith (possibly thanks to a hat Sophie talked to life), moves to a grand mansion in Vale End and sells the hat shop to Howl.
The King of Ingary employs Howl to produce transport spells. When the Witch of the Waste threatens his baby daughter Valeria, he sends Suliman the Royal Wizard to the Waste to deal with the Witch. When the King's brother disappears whilst looking for Wizard Suliman, he asks the Count of Catterack to look for him. He then insists that Howl look for him and get rid of the Witch of the Waste.
Prince Justin is the younger brother of the King of Ingary. Unsettled by Suliman's disappearance, he sets off to find him only to go missing himself.
Mrs Penstemmon is a grand, talented old witch. She taught Mrs Fairfax, Suliman, and finally Howl. She is proud of Howl's talent and wants him to be a good person but she is concerned he is heading the same way as the Witch of the Waste. When Sophie visits her pretending to be Howl's mother, Mrs Pentstemmon encourages Sophie to break the contract between Howl and Calcifer. She detects Sophie's magical gift but cannot lift the Witch's spell. She is killed by the Witch of the Waste when she refuses to tell the Witch where Howl is.
Wizard Suliman is the Royal Wizard and personal advisor to the King of Ingary. He comes from Wales, where he was known as Benjamin Sullivan. He was Mrs Penstemmon's second-to-last pupil. When the Witch of the Waste threatens the King of Ingary's young daughter, he is dispatched to the Waste by the King. There he starts growing bushes and flowers, but the Witch catches him. He projects most of his magic onto a scarecrow, which Sophie will talk life into. The Witch puts him to pieces and sells off his skull and guitar. She reassembles his body with parts of Prince Justin's (the head in particular) and calls him Gaston. She uses him to find out about Wales in order to get to Howl, then casts a spell on him that turns him into a dog. Calcifer guesses that one of his aliases is Percival.
Mrs Fairfax is a witch, a former pupil of Mrs Pentstemmon's. A widow, she lives in Upper Folding. She is "a plump, comfortable lady, with swathes of butter-coloured hair". She is chatty and uses home-made honey in her spells. Lettie becomes her apprentice and Mrs Fairfax encourages her to fall for Howl and become his pupil. She is unable to lift the dog-man's spell.
Lily Angorian is an attractive schoolteacher in Wales who claims to be Benjamin Sullivan's fiancée. As such, she refuses to allow Howl to court her, though Sophie comes to believe that Howl is infatuated with her. She is later revealed to be connected to the Witch of Waste.
Abdullah - A carpet merchant who is very unlucky with fate.
Flower-in-the-Night - A Princess and Abdullah's true-love who is kidnapped by the djinns.
The Strangian Soldier - A wandering soldier who happens to be the prince following defeat at the Battle of Strangia.
Dalzel - The weak and feeble djinn who chooses wickedness rather than goodness. He collects princesses to be his wives.
Hasruel - Dalzel's brother who had the characters of the Castle series to play out Abdullah's daydream.
The Genie - A troublesome genie who is Howl under the djinns spell whose wishes normally cause trouble, rather than fortune.
Midnight - A highly intelligent spoilt female cat who is cherished by the soldier. She is later revealed to be Sophie, a returning character from the first book Howl's Moving Castle.
Whippersnapper - Midnight/Sophie's kitten; he is at the top of the pecking order. His real name is Morgan.
