This page keeps the main character roster for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) character-first. It answers a different question than the cast page: not just who plays whom, but who matters in this version of the story.
Main characters
| Character | Played by | Why the character matters here |
|---|---|---|
| Lucy Pevensie | Georgie Henley | The first Pevensie to find Narnia and the emotional doorway into the story. |
| Edmund Pevensie | Skandar Keynes | His betrayal and redemption drive much of the film’s conflict. |
| Susan Pevensie | Anna Popplewell | She balances caution with courage once the battle closes in. |
| Peter Pevensie | William Moseley | He grows into the role of protector and war leader. |
| Aslan | Liam Neeson (voice) | The great lion whose sacrifice changes everything. |
| Jadis, the White Witch | Tilda Swinton | The film’s central villain and the face of Narnia’s long winter. |
| Mr. Tumnus | James McAvoy | A faun torn between fear and decency when Lucy steps into Narnia. |
