The old lady is not too bad

There doesn't have to be a hateful character in the story. For example, the Witch of the Wasteland, although she looks annoying, she is also cute. At the beginning, when she walked into Sophie's shop, she looked mysterious and arrogant, with a figure that can only be described as huge, and her hoarse voice. I thought this villain was a no-brainer. But on the way to the palace, I saw that she was actually talking to Sophie calmly, saying that she could only cast magic, but would not unlock it, as if the magic she had cast on Sophie was just a little joke with her, And when she talks about Hal's nympho, the panting when she climbs the stairs, and when she sits on the sofa, as a bad witch, her series of behaviors are beyond standard. Later, when he lost his magic, he lived in the castle and pretended to sleep when he saw the guests coming, but he was actually listening to them secretly; as soon as the guests went out, he quickly pulled out the Sally Manshi from the makeup bag. The magic bug was thrown into Cassifer's mouth, so he hurriedly flipped through the makeup bag to find the smoke and fire... The smoke ring was blowing out of his mouth, saying that I won't let Salimani take it away Hal's, as if Sallyman was going to grab her boyfriend, but she was full of confidence and determined to win. Well, wise old woman.
Sophie asked: Has your mother-in-law ever been in a relationship? Of course, it is still being discussed. Either one is good, a young heart is the best, if you can fall in love, etc., this is a bad witch, I don't believe it.
Even in the end, when she was holding on to Calcifer (keeping Howl's young heart), she wanted to become younger, and even nearly killed Howl and Calcifer, I didn't hate her at all. When Sophie approached when she wanted to take Cassifer, she said, "I don't know anything, I didn't take anything." They all say that children are cute, and sometimes old people are cuter than children. You should pay attention to the eyes of the old woman. From holding CASIFA tightly to the time she was reluctant to hand over CASIFA, her eyes changed again and again, but none of them were evil eyes. If there is, it is just the will of the old woman.

Maluk said: Sophie wants to leave too? Sophie, don't leave us. Sophie, I like you, stay. Maluk's voice acting is just too cute. If my child also has this voice when he is a child, I don't want him to grow up, and then call my mother with such a cute voice every day, O(∩_∩)O haha~.
Karook is cute, and his magic is to wear a mask when he hits the streets, disguising himself as a bearded grandpa. Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh, like it if you like it, hate it if you hate it.
As for, Hal. Why? I've run away long enough to finally find something I have to protect, and that's you. The lethality of this sentence, normal girls can't resist it.
Sophie, I don't understand a lot of things.
Some critics said that she let Cassifer act alone in order to break the enchantment of the house so that the house could be moved again, I always thought she was letting the house collapse on purpose, crushing the minions of Sallyman who always wanted to break in. Die inside, so that they can temporarily keep them safe and let Hal not have to worry about them for the time being. At the time, I thought she was very smart to come up with this idea. It's not like that.
In fact, I still don't quite understand why Sophie suddenly became old and young, and how the spell was broken.
Still, it doesn't matter if you don't get it, looking at Howl in red and Sophie in yellow and Maluk playing with Bark in the yard, and the house that flies into the sky (that must be CASIFA in the yard) Controlling the house, O(∩_∩)O haha~), it is estimated that there is still a wasteland witch sitting in the house with squinting eyes, smoking a big cigarette, and spitting smoke rings, which is enough.

    Old Sophie: Huh?

    [Finds a folded piece of paper]

    Old Sophie: What is this?

    Howl: Give it to me.

    [paper burns leaving marks on the table]

    Markl: Scorch marks! Howl, can you read them?

    Howl: That is ancient sorcery, and quite powerful too.

    Markl: Is it from the Witch of the Waste?

    Howl: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man, your heart shall soon be mine." That can't be good for the table.

    Howl: The mark may be gone, but the spell is still there.

    Howl: There you are, sweetheart, sorry I'm late. I was looking everywhere for you.
