1. This one is pretty simple. The portrayal of Edmund is completely wrong. While his siblings (except for Lucy whose hair was a little lighter!) had dark hair, he was described as fair haired, and C.S. Lewis lets us know that when he got older he had a blond beard. I'm not saying the actor is terrible or he was not a good choice, I'm just saying they could've at least lightened his hair a little, instead of giving his siblings light hair while his was dark.
2. This one comes from the movie Prince Caspian. The scene with the werewolf and the witch, while it did happen, did not happen that way. In fact the witch was going to summon Jadis the White Witch, but did not get that far because she was killed before she could finish her incantation.
3. This one is a biggy and I will have another problem below as it's sequel, but the whole thing about Eustace turning into a dragon was skewered in the movie. In the book he walked intoa dragon cave after watching an old dragon die and he started thinking "dragonish"thoughts, and thus fell asleep, turning himself into a dragon. THAT IS NOT HOW THE MOVIE PORTRAYS IT!!!!!!!!
4. Now they also messed up how Eustace became a boy once more. Aslan did not simply scrape his paw against the sand and BANG! Eustace was human. No, actually Eustace tried scraping his dragons skin off, and thus being unsuccessful Aslan took pity on him, and scraped the skin off for him.
5. Reepicheep's voice. Yes, I know that it would have been ear-grating if they had chosen to do this, but his voice was supposed to be high and pitchy. Actually MOUSE-LIKE!!!!!!
6. The finding of the Wardrobe. Okay, look people, when they originally found the Wardrobe that have them acess to Narnia, they stumbled upon it by simply exploring the house, which was Peter's idea.
7. Prince Caspian: practically the entire movie differed from the book!!!! They never tried breaking into the castle...never! Just a quick little rant, but how dare they portray Peter in such a fashion?! He was not a pompous, prideful, tyrannical leader!!!! And another thing, where on earth did Edmund disappear to??? In the movie they didn't even need him! Are you kidding me??? He's the best character! He's the one that always pulls through! He's the comic relief! He's the only one that repeatedly trusts Lucy! Where did he go?!?!?
8. From Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the movie, Edmund was never attracted to the star, Lilliandill. She became Caspian's wife!!! Why would the movie makers do that is they are still planning on making The Silver Chair!? Why? Why?(sobbing uncontrollably!)
9. While we are on the subject of crushes, in the books Susan never cared for Caspian, and vice-versa!
10. They took a billion lines out of context, but I won't go into that.
Now that I've enlightened you on the true meaning of Narnia, go tell your friends! It's just that the movies were good, but they should not have the Narnia title. Their portraying job is so awful. Anyway, I must go.
