English writer Diana Wynne Jones is considered the last great storyteller. The worlds of her books are so vivid that they practically beg to be brought to the screen. Based on her bestseller "Howl's Moving Castle", the famous animator Hayao Miyazaki, winner of the "Golden Lion" - the highest award of the Venice Film Festival, made an animated film of the same name, which gained popularity in many countries. Aidan had always known that wizards existed, although no one else noticed. He could even do a little magic. And when sinister uninvited guests appeared in his dreams, he fled London without hesitation to visit the experienced wizard his grandmother had told him about. To his disappointment, the old wizard was no longer alive; his house had been inherited by his grandson, a young scientist named Andrew Hope, whom everyone around him considered a scatterbrained professor. Andrew readily agreed to take the boy in, but will the "professor" be able to protect him from mysterious pursuers? After all, he had forgotten almost everything his grandfather had taught him. But there was one thing Andrew remembered clearly: the ancient stained glass in the door...
