The original book of Howl's Moving Castle is one of my very deep childhood imprints and I just don't want to see it done wrong and everything I have heard about the differences—including this conversation—suggests I would not be able to parse them as anything other than wrong.
Since there is a 99.999% probability that you're correct, that is the right choice. I am in the same boat, except for the bit where I did watch it and didn't like it, and while I'm not going to magnify the problem to the point of saying my life would have been better if I hadn't watched it, I don't think my life would be in any measurable way impoverished by the lack.
(Man, I wish I still had my Howl icon that I used when I was blogging my way through DWJ's entire body of work.)
