What are some of your favorite scenes?
I love when Sophie first meets Howl and they do their little walk through the sky, it's so cute.
And when Howl shows Sophie his 'secret garden' such a sweet moment between them. I love pretty much any scene between Sophie and Howl.
Oh, and I also love when Howl freaks out about his hair I love this movie!
So what are some of your favorite scenes?
The sheer beauty of this film is breathtaking.
I have to agree with you relating to the secret garden. When the door opened and they appeared into this magical utopia I shivered with glee. Even the battleships passing overhead constantly held a majestic authoritarian fascination for me.
Probably my favourite scene was when Sophie awoke in the castle at first and discovered the magic inherent within it, i.e. Calcifer, the doors and the way that the castle moved. You share in the discovery with her and thats what the film does so well. This little world of fantastical imaginings brought to light through the realisations of one of its main characters.
I like the more disturbing scenes. When Howl gets all depre4ssed and starts dripping green goo... that's pretty awesome.
shareDuring the garden scene, there's a nice emotional moment between them.
Upon viewing the cottage, Howl is smiling but Sophie is apprehensive. Howl has been doing all these things: they've moved to a new place, and now he's showing her the garden. It feels like he's trying to placate everyone with gifts before he goes off somewhere.
Sophie asks if he's leaving or not, but he dodges the question. And of course, that's all the proof she needs that her assumptions are correct.
The next scene after that also is great but kind of sad. In this world, Sophie has forgotten about being old, and so her appearance reflects what she really looks like.
But then, her dourness shows itself when she claims she isn't beautiful, and Howl rebuffs this by telling her she is. However, she falls back into her thinking that she isn't, and when she regresses to an aged look, she almost goes all the way back to the oldest look of her curse.

The ending where the Witch and Sophie fight over Howl's heart.
We all live in suspense from day to day; you are the hero of your own story.
Ah, gosh, I swear that every single scene in this movie is freaking magic.
However, I do especially love the scene where Sophie picks up Calcifer (he's got an adorable little body!) and then Howl teasingly scolds her.
I love Markl & the hug scenes between him and Sophie! Not to mention all the hugs between Sophie and Howl (after he stops the bomb for her, after she kisses him). Strange for an animated movie, but the hugs are really intimate and are just such sweet embraces. They make me really, really, really desirous of Howl.
There's too much to love. I am filled with passion and emotion after each viewing.
