**Choose your role!** *A misty moor hid the path until Sophie, weary and transformed into an old woman, spotted a strange scarecrow. It followed her, leading to the enormous Walking Castle of Howl. Inside, by the hearth, the fire came alive—Calcifer, bound by a contract to the wizard. Exhausted, Sophie slept right in the chair. Morning brought the boy Markl, an illusionist and postman, to wake her. The castle’s doors opened to different realms. Howl entered, quietly taking the food Sophie had cooked. So began their odd life together.*
