Most of the truly disastrous spells are Michael's, such as the spell to make things bigger that grows Howl's blue suit to the size of the house. He also finds her a useful ally in convincing Howl to stay in the area as he does not want to move far away from his Lettie. He is loyal to Howl and grows to like Sophie over time although he finds her a nuisance when she first moves in. He is a decent wizard but is becoming more confused by the more complicated spells and often gets them wrong. He is in love with Sophie's sister Martha who is pretending to be her sister Lettie. Michael is Howl's apprentice wizard and became this by accident simply by turning up one day and then never really leaving. He is the main example of the fire theme that goes throughput the book and also the best example of its symbolic nature as when his life starts to ebb away there is barely a flicker of flame from him, but when life is strong in him so are the flames. Calcifer is a courageous demon and protects Howl and his group. Although he feels he is kept in the grate against his will, once he is released he finds that he actually likes living with Howl, he just wants it to be his choice to do so and not his contractual obligation. He is a well-intentioned demon as he has no desire to become Howl's master as the Witch's fire demon has become over her, and this is why he wants the contract to be broken. CalciferĬalcifer is a fire demon and he is bound by contract to work for Howl. Despite a fierce battle the Witch is killed at the close of the novel. Although she cursed Sophie and turned her into an old woman, she did not intend to as it was Sophie's sister Lettie whom she was jealous of and angry with.
She also seems to out-maneuver Howl alarmingly often and is generally one step ahead of the game. She is ancient but continues to make herself appear younger. The Witch of the Waste has been largely dormant for fifty years which is why it is such a shock to find her evil active again, although it seems likely that she is now under the control of her fire demon. He puts his own life in jeopardy for Calcifer and turns out to be a thoroughly decent man at the end of the day. Ad as well as good and does not want that to happen which is why he is anxious for the contract between himself and Calcifer to be broken. Howl is aware that his magic can be used for. He is a womanizer and tends to like the chase more than the capture of the female in question's heart, Sophie being the only girl he remains interested in. As Wizard Howl he is rather timid and not entirely happy about becoming the King's Magician but he is an honorable person and does what he has been paid for. He graduated from university with a good degree in witchcraft and went on to become a wizard working in a magical land from which he could still come and go. Welshman Howell Jenkins (also known by the more magical last name of Pendragon) comes from a pleasant and normal family on the Wales-England border and in the earthly world is a good uncle and frustrating brother. Sophie is a character whose happy ending is well-deserved and appreciated by the reader. She is a loyal family member and loves her sisters although she has judged her stepmother harshly and tried to make amends for that. Sophie is in love with Howl even if she won't admit it.
She is essentially very nice, sweetly helping the trapped dog and the broken scarecrow, but her niceness also causes a problem if not-niceness is actually required, such as when she lets Miss Angorian into the house in an effort to prove she is too nice to be jealous of Howl's interest in her. She is defiant though, and sets out to seek her fortune not as a pretty young girl but as a creaky old crone after the Witch of the Waste has cursed her. Sophie is the protagonist of the novel and has lots of ambitious ideas that she puts to the back of her mind because she is the eldest of the three Hatter sisters and knows the eldest is always destined for.nothing at all.
