Da Das wandelnde Schloß zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsfilmen gehört, stand Diana Wynne Jones Buch schon lange auf meiner Leseliste. Während die erste Hälfte des Buches sehr nah am Film ist, sind das Ende und auch die Themen des Buches etwas anders.
Während der Schwerpunkt des Films für mich eher auf Kriegserfahrungen und Sophies Weg zur Selbstakzeptanz und -liebe liegt, stand im Buch die Abenteuergeschichte im Vordergrund. Wahrscheinlich hätte mir das Buch auch nicht so gut gefallen, wie es das tut, wenn ich den Film nicht gesehen hätte. So hatte ich natürlich immer Hayao Miyazakis Charaktere und die wunderschöne Welt aus dem Film im Kopf und hab mich über alle neuen Details, die man im Buch erfährt, gefreut.
Ich habe von einigen gelesen, dass sie die Liebesgeschichte am Ende als zu gehetzt und unnatürlich empfunden haben, aber da
Howl ja erst am Ende sein Herz zurückbekommt und auch Sophie erst während dem Kampf merkt, dass Howl eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm ist
passt das für mich in die Geschichte.
