the witch of waste who visited the hat shop. Unfortunately the visit came when Sophie wasn’t in her best mood and the witch did not like any of the hats and said it was a waste of time. She bothered her and made the witch of waste cast a spell on her, that the spell turned her into an old lady.
Also she met Martha at Cesari’s and that was the secret to the mood swings and the new Sophie

Finished first chapter it talks mostly about sophie's work in her father's hat shop as a hat maker? With her stepmother (Fanny), her sisters' "chasing thier fortunes" as they say by working at places Fanny has chosen (all the three dropped out of school cuz thier father died amd they can't afford it anymore), And rumors about Howl as he kidnaps girls and suck their souls as being said
