In the book, Sophie is the eldest daughter with two siblings one sister is Lettie and another is Martha who’s a half-sister. At least not until the Rowling Unnecessary Head canon Era.Įven though I enjoyed the book, it left me feeling quite deprived compared to what I had in the movie. Like how we never really know what happens in the Hufflepuff dormitories. You don’t know everything going on in the created world but in the end, it doesn’t matter. Or ‘frolicking fantasy’ as some reviewers put it. It’s a beautifully written, casual fantasy that’s very similar to Miyazakis’ form of ‘soft’ worldbuilding. So in order to prolong and thicken my excitement for this story, I decided to read the book as well. Sophie resonates with me as a character and I love the idea of the basic eldest daughter running away with a wizard who’s friends with a fire demon. I don’t talk about this much but my favourite Studio Ghibli film and romance story in general is Howls Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki. Considering how subpar most adaptations are. It’s a rare time for me to notice that I actually enjoyed an adaption over the original novel. Spoiler Alert!! I will be talking some endings and other spoiler-ish elements so just beware.
