Ep.16 Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones | Wands Upon a Wizard

Ever thought your life sucks? According to this book it’s probably your fault. 😬 This week, we’re stepping into the magical mayhem of Howl’s Moving Castle. We follow Sophie Hatter who finds herself magically transformed into an old lady (rude) and takes refuge in a walking, creaking castle owned by Howl—the the drama king of all wizards. Tune in as we discuss why Howl might be the ultimate diva/heartthrob, and why sometimes, a little magical chaos is the best way to find yourself.
