Howl's Moving Castle and Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrel

Howl's Moving castle is an oscar-winning animated film by Hayo Miyazaki (Spirited Away) based on the book Diana Wynne. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend it. It shares a few things with Strange & Norrel. It's set in Europe during what seems to be an analogy to one of the World Wars. The king incorporates wizards and witches into military use like in Strange & Norrel. He even has a full-time sorceress adviser.
