[[WMG: A big Hollywood studio will make a LiveActionAdaptation of the book, with no relation to the Studio Ghibli movie other than sharing source material.]]
Given the state of the film and TV industry right now, it's just a matter of time. It will most likely be another movie, but a TV series for streaming with each season depicting one of the books, like the new series being worked on for ''Literature/HarryPotter'' and ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'', shouldn't be ruled out.

* In the movie, unlike in the book, the Witch of the Waste pulls a HeelFaceTurn as a result of Suliman depowering her. A logical explanation for this is that, unlike in the book, her fire demon hadn't yet completely consumed her heart (hence why she's not as villainous even before she turns.) That meant that when Suliman depowered her, her contract with her fire demon was broken and she got enough of her heart back to start to care about people again and slowly recover.

She married a nice, rich man but after giving birth to their daughter she either died or divorced her husband, never to appear again. Anyway, she named her daughter.. ''[[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Charlotte LaBoeuff]]''!

[[WMG: Suliman's servant boys are magic beings based on Howl]]
Those ever-present identical little boys of Suliman's look suspiciously like a young teenage version of Howl, albeit with his dyed blond hair rather than his natural color. Perhaps Suliman was secretly a little taken with her underage student?

[[WMG: Calcifer is now bound to Sophie, not to Howl.]]
In the end of the movie, Calcifer shouts about how he's free... and then immediately forms the second incarnation of the castle, making it seem like he might not be free after all. It would make sense that, because he no longer possesses Howl's heart, he's bound to Sophie because he possesses her lock of hair.

Spoilers for TheBorrowerArrietty, with facts from both the book and the movie versions of Literature/HowlsMovingCastle.

At the end of the TheBorrowerArrietty, the ending is ambiguous (Japanese) or he lives, (American). I posit that the answer is both, that is, he died in Japan, but he lived on in another dimension, the dimension from [=HMC=].

reference. Seriously, the castle is BiggerOnTheInside, it can travel easily though space and physical dimensions. Even time travel is possible. This means it is a T.A.R.D.I.S. Howl's shapeshifting and hair color shifting are variants of regeneration.



The witch says nothing about the conditions to break her curse, only [[spoiler: Turniphead's]]. Sophie is shown throughout the film as appearing as old as she feels but with grey hair, and [[spoiler: her new significant other Howl]] can likely see a person's true form as easily as looking through the reflections on the surface of water. The Witch [[LiquidAssets stole Sophie's age age]] while flying through her in order to fuel her own magic and "beauty", and Sophie is only young as long as her willpower and emotional state allow her to get over the mere fact that she's not whateverteen any more (except in the chronological sense).
* Not true, Calcifer said he would break Sophie's curse if she broke his contract with Howl, and demons have to keep their promises. Her hair just stayed silver as an side effect.
* Various theories. But, to note, while Sophie's age doesn't vary in the book, her curse is broken the instant she puts Howl's heart back and Calcifer is free, but attention is never brought to it except that Howl asks what colour she would call her hair.

Well, it made sense when I thought of it. Those characters were much more standard and chivalrous, unlike the BelligerentSexualTension and lovely snark-war that the original Howl and Sophie had.

* The awkwardness might have been caused by the fact up until that point (when they'd been transformed back), she'd been taking care of Morgan as a cat and wasn't so sure about how to take care of Morgan as a human just then. Cats have their instincts to rely on when giving birth and nursing their kittens but a human mother would naturally have a different motherly instinct. It would have felt super weird because she'd already been caring for Morgan a certain way as a cat, but now that she's human, she's back to square one! Sure she had experience looking after her younger sisters, but they really weren't that much younger than her. This is the first time she's ever looked after a human infant - her own child.
