[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: In-Between reading?Howl's Moving Castle

[golden faile]

Wow!!! Thanks for the information. That will be something to see and now
that I know that it's out there I will be looking for it! I can't wait to see what
they do with Calcifer, he was by far the funniest character in the book, my
son and I were in stitches throughout the whole book.

read HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE, CHARMED LIFE and is currently starting 
FIRE AND HEMLOCK. I love her writing very much and really like all 
the ones I've read a whole lot so far. I think her books are one of , 
if not, the closest to the HP series (in terms of writing style, 
story, magical setting, charactization). In fact I'm quite puzzled 
that whenever someone ask for recommendation for books like that are 
similar to HP books, her books were usually never mention while 
completely different stuffs like LOTR or His Dark Material is 
mentioned instead, at least according to my own experience. 

If anyone is familiar with the Japanese animation master Hayao 
Miyazaki whose latest work "Spirited Away" was nominated for this 
year Oscar's best animation (and hopefully it will win since it's 
obviously way better than all the other ones in the category), he and 
his animation team's latest project is the animation version of 
HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE!!! I absolutely can't wait to see it!
