The reason older Lucy is so spot on is that it is the actress’s older sister, so they cheated really. Excited to see you react to the next 2!😉

Heida

Narnia is SO underrated! The casting and acting is outstanding (in particular Tilda Swinton as The White Witch and Liam Neeson as Aslan). The visuals and the cinematography is phenomenal. The score is so good. Everything about it is just amazing. Also, my 12 year old self had such a crush on William Moseley. And in 2008 my 15 year old self was crushing on William, Skandar AND Ben Barnes (Benji what is wrong with you?!). The Magician’s Nephew (which is the second-to-last published book and first chronologically) is about the creation of Narnia and tells the story of a boy named Digory Kirke, the professor, and his friend Polly, who use magic rings to access “The Wood Between the Worlds", which is full of pools that act as portals to other realms (one of which is the yet-to-be-born world of Narnia). Digory later built the wardrobe using wood from a Narnian tree. Obviously, Narnia time works differently than the real world. In the books Narnia time from beginning to end covers ca. 2500 years while in the real world, that same time only covers 50 years. But you're right, the huge discrepancy between the real-world time and Narnia time from The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe to Prince Caspian vs. Prince Caspian to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader shows that there is a bit of an inconsistency between the two worlds’ timelines. I didn't notice Jadis wearing Aslan's mane during the battle for the longest time, and if I remember correctly that wasn't in the book. Fun facts: Georgie Henley's (Lucy) first reaction to Narnia is genuine. They didn't let her see the set until they filmed it. Her reaction to Mr. Tumnus is also genuine, for she had not seen James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed. And Georgie's older sister Rachael plays grown-up Lucy. The character of the White Witch was inspired by the Snow Queen from the story of Hans Christian Andersen (Elsa from Frozen is loosely based on her too since she was originally supposed to be the villain). Also, the Turkish Delight was enchanted and highly addictive, making the one who ate it want more and more as well as being more susceptible to give out information (though Edmund's resentnent towards Peter definitely helped). Edmund has often been compared to Judas, who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Edmund betrays Aslan, who represents Jesus, for thirty pieces of Turkish Delight. J.K. Rowling has said she was influenced by Narnia and whether it was on purpose or not, each of the Pevensie children represent each of the houses in Hogwarts. Peter = Gryffindor: Brave, loyal, honourable, chivalrous, a natural fighter & leader and protects his family at all costs but is impulsive and proud. Edmund = Slytherin: Ambitious, resourceful and falls into temptation to gain power & recognition. Susan = Ravenclaw: Logical, wise, intelligent, witty, caring and often the voice of reason. Lucy = Hufflepuff: Kind, helpful, selfless, forgives easily and treats everyone as equals. She also has a bit of Gryffindor in her: Brave and loyal. The third film is not as good as the other two but still entertaining (mainly because of the legend that is Eustace!). But it's unfortunate cuz they never finished the franchise. They were also competing with bigger franchises like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. They were gonna adapt The Magician's Nephew, the first book of the series, until Walden Media lost its rights to the franchise in 2011. The Mark Gordon Company retained the rights instead to adapt the next book in the franchise, The Silver Chair. But for some reason that never happened, and in 2018, Netflix acquired the rights to develop their own Narnia reboot. In 2023 it was announced that Greta Gerwig was set to direct at least two of the novels for Netflix (whether it's two of these remade or any of the other four I don't know). If you haven't seen My Best Friend's Wedding I highly suggest it. It stars Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett. And if you want to see a more grown-up and different side to Lucy's actress Georgie Henley, I suggest Perfect Sisters. It's based on the real life murder of Linda Andersen (played by Mira Sorvino) who was killed by her two teenage daughters (played by Georgie and Abigial Breslin).
