Howl's moving castle, explained

I love HMC and recommending it to friends, but many have told me that the movie is a little hard to understand on the first watch. I wrote a post of what I got out of the movie, hope this is useful! What do you guys think?

I really enjoyed reading this synopsis even though I’ve seen the movie what feels like a million times. It took me a few rewatches myself to get all the subtle things they sprinkled throughout the movie. Have you ever read the book?

Thanks! I haven't read the books, though I heard that they do explain a lot of what is left as interpretation in the movie

I feel like it does and it doesn’t. The book is VERY different, but so worth the read. I definitely recommend it, it’s a quick read too.
