* At one point during the carpet-ride to the castle in the air, Abdullah convinces Sophie to talk about Howl to distract herself from her fear of heights:
---> '''Abdullah:''' Tell me of this Wizard Howl of yours.
---> '''Sophie ''(proudly)'':''' He’s the best wizard in Ingary or anywhere else. If he’d only had time, he would have defeated that djinn. And he’s sly and selfish and vain as a peacock and cowardly, and you can’t pin him down to anything.
---> '''Abdullah:''' Indeed? Strange that you should speak so proudly such a list of vices, most loving of ladies.
---> '''Sophie ''(angrily)'':''' What do you mean, vices? I was just ''describing'' Howl.

* After Sophie's spell is taken off her, Sophie, Lettie, Suliman and Abdullah use the mirrors to see whether the spell's been taken off for Morgan as well. They end up seeing Morgan in a fury, with the soldier holding him with a very panicked look on his face. And the genie can also be seen, but he looks just as helpless and panicked as the soldier.
