<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/howlprofiole.png" border="0" /> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Delivery%20banners/AboutHowl.png" border="0" /> <span style="color:#0e4e6c">Wizard Howl is a mysterious, reclusive wizard with a terrible reputation. He is known by a number of aliases; by birth, he is Howell Jenkins, but he goes by "Howl Jenkins" in Porthaven and his preferred "Howl Pendragon" in Kingsbury. When Howl was young, he gave Calcifer his heart in order for the fire demon to continue living because he felt sorry for him- this is implied to have sapped his humanity somewhat, and will continue to do so till he ends up like the Witch of the Waste. He is twenty-seven (he states that he will soon be 10,000 days old, which is part of the Witch's curse) and known for being very flamboyant and "wicked". His notorious moving castle has recently been spotted near Market Chipping and rumours have begun to spread that he is searching for beautiful young women whose hearts he may steal and subsequently eat, or that he will devour their souls. He comes from Wales, a country unknown to most in the book, where his family still remains unaware of his activities in Sophie's world or of its existence- his sister is constantly annoyed by his disappearances, but he often visits them when troubled. Near the end of the story he confesses to Sophie that he is a real coward and the only way he can get himself to do something he really doesn't want to is to tell himself that he won't do it. Despite his reputation, Howl is in reality a mostly endearing, charming man who is intelligent and considerate, if somewhat self-appreciative, dishonest and stubborn at times. He enjoys "slithering out" of uncomfortable situations, often in comical ways. Even with his cowardly ways, he is an incredibly powerful wizard by Ingary standards, capable of matching the Witch of the Waste and is only not known as such because he wants to avoid the work that comes with the respect. His bond with Calcifer increases his powers. Howl is described as being tall and suave, fond of dyeing his hair and wearing impressive suits. He spends at least two hours in the bathroom every morning. However, he is described by Calcifer as "very vain for a plain man with mud-coloured hair" - Howl is not naturally handsome, but he has "charm", both literally and figuratively. Michael tells Sophie that "the day Howl forgets to do that [perform his daily beauty regimen] will be the day I believe he's really in love, and not before"; when Howl arrives to save Sophie from the Witch of the Waste, he is unshaven and altogether ungroomed, proof that he truly loves Sophie.<!--color--></span> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Delivery%20banners/Goals.png" border="0" /> <div class="spoiler"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display='block';this.style.display='none';" value="Show spoiler"> <span class="spoiler_content" style="display:none"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.parentNode.style.display='none';this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[0].style.display='block';" value="Hide spoiler"><br><span style="color:#0e4e6c"><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Member Cards<!--strike--></span><!--color--></span> <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=166406"><span style="color:#0e4e6c">Get it here<!--color--></span></a> <span style="color:#0e4e6c"><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 150<!--strike--></span><!--color--></span> <!--spoiler--></span></div> <span style="color:#0e4e6c">200 250 300 350 400 450 500 <!--color--></span> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Delivery%20banners/banners.png" border="0" /> <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=14696"><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/howlbanner.gif" border="0" /></a> [ url=http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=14696][ img]http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/howlbanner.gif[ /img][ /url] <strong>Stamps:</strong> <em>Regular ones</em> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp1.png" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp2.png" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp3.png" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp4.png" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp5.png" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp6.png" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlfcstamp7.png" border="0" /> <em>Animated ones</em> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/stamphowl1.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlwalk1.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlcottage1.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlblue1.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlorange.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlmad.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howltamp.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlsad.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlstar.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlpast.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Howl%20Fanclub/howlsoph.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Delivery%20banners/Videos.png" border="0" /> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/h_TYEsAGJ3c&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h_TYEsAGJ3c&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <img src="http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad25/Red-Link/Delivery%20banners/affiliates.png" border="0" /> <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=3803"><span style="color:#0e4e6c">Howl's Moving Castle Club<!--color--></span></a> <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=25821"><img src="http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n538/CuteAnimeJunkie/WLBAffiliation.png" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#0e4e6c">Club layout made by dgirl1997<!--color--></span> <!--center--></div>
