    All New Harry Potter Thread post July 15, 2011

    We lost Dame Maggie Smith at the age of 89, just three months shy of her 90th birthday. While many in the acting field have reacted with sadness to her passing, I liked Rupert Grint's reaction that he will always remember having the dance scene with her in "Goblet of Fire." Adds a bit of...

    C.S. Lewis the movie!

    The Narnia time goes for well over 2,000 years (the "official" timeline) goes for 2,555 years, but that's neither here nor there. The Narnian characters from TMN are all dead by the time of LWW which is roughly 1,000 years later. The Narnian characters of LWW are all dead as of PC, which is...

    What is ONE thing you hope happens in the Netflix Narnia stuff, that you are concerned they won't do?

    In the book, it was Tirian who inquired about where Susan was and I think Lucy and Polly saying what happened to her, Polly in particular.

    what do you think this is? (picture at the end of the last battle)

    Looking in my book, I believe it is two stars, or at least the being that represents the stars as all of the starts above Narnia had fallen to the ground.

    What is ONE thing you hope happens in the Netflix Narnia stuff, that you are concerned they won't do?

    Walden didn't do anything with the Professor except to show how he was in the books. In fact, Lewis wrote TMN last. You are dealing with inner chronology. That's not necessarily how movie makers deal with making movies. They didn't skip any books, they just started them in publication order.

    What is ONE thing you hope happens in the Netflix Narnia stuff, that you are concerned they won't do?

    There's a reason every series has started with LWW first. It's not because they are skipping TMN, it's because they are starting with the first published and most popular and known of the books. Where did you see that Walden would be going to TMN next. The end of VotDt was almost a sequel tag...

    What is ONE thing you hope happens in the Netflix Narnia stuff, that you are concerned they won't do?

    The question is if they get to all of the books. I don't think the Walden movies intentionally skipped TMN, it's just that VotDT didn't do nearly as good as they wanted or expected it to and discontinued the series due to the latter two likely losing a lot of money. I don't know how the BBC made...

    Narnia Characters That Could Be Expanded On

    Or was this the dam for one on their parents or ancestors? I doubt they would have built their dam in a frozen river, so maybe it had been there before Jadis came to power.

    You don't have to be Christian to love Narnia

    The only two that are remotely overtly Christian themed are LWW and TLB. All others can be viewed in many other ways. PC was based on the conflicts of Hamlet (which are even older than that). One could say VotDT was akin to "The Odyssey". TMN was, in part, the Genesis creation story, which is...

    Book Fan? Or Movie Fan? Or both?

    "As children some sixty-five years ago, my sisters and I read an actual Mary Poppins book. The title character, as illustrated, was not at all physically beautiful; and though she genuinely cared about the Banks children, she was not so gushing or adventurous as in the movies." Copper, readers...

    Ideas for Opening Credits In Narnia Films

    For H&HB, I will go back to my preferred scene if it was a television series. Open with the coronation of the Pevensies, if not the same scene used at the end of the film. Move on to the after party (I liked the way the Walden movie did it, which gave me the idea) where Aslan is leaving. Follow...

    Narnia Characters That Could Be Expanded On

    The Pevensie parents. I liked how the mother was at least in the first part of the Walden movie. They could also put her and her husband in the beginning of VotDT. We also only get descriptions of Eustace's parents rather than getting to know anything about them. We also don't get to see...

    Silly Ideas for the Netflix Narnia Movies and Shows

    "What if Mr. and Mrs. Beaver were groundhogs this time." Prophesy: If Mr and Mrs Groundhog see their shadow, Aslan's arrival is right around the corner. Always Winter, never Groundhog's Day. To respect Equity, Jadis will be played by an African/English Albino.

    What would have happened

    Thanks Mariel. And to think that was sixteen years ago.

    Jadis vs Jadis

    I say Jadis' sister could win in a fight where the Deplorable Word was not an option. She already was on the verge of victory when Jadis committed genocide of her own people. After her, book Jadis and then Disney Jadis.

    I pronounce Aslan as Ah-slahn Tash has the same vowel sound as above. Jadis is Jay-dis Note all of the accented syllables are capitalized.

    "Dem Fine Woman"

    Andrew was someone who tried to look at those underneath him in a similar way Jadis looked upon her subjects. The only problem is that the only people he could treat that way were guinea pigs and the children. Otherwise, he was a loser who lived with strong women. Jadis was simply much stronger...

    Transition from Earth to Narnia In Film or Series Adaption

    The hardest thing about TSC would be to show how Experiment House allowed bullies to nearly be in charge. This was the reason the attack on the bullies at the end was so necessary. I say this because I imagine Eustace and Jill to go through the gate with the sun shining through into their world...

    Transition from Earth to Narnia In Film or Series Adaption

    Glad we see some things in common, tirian. However, we do disagree slightly in that I wish the magic would only affect the kids, not the room. I was slightly disappointed in the Walden movie to see the room filling up with water. If they kept with the wind and ocean spray only, it would be fun...
