@BeautifulM: actually a friend from his school is in the silver chair, the one before the Last battle. I wish they would at least make two more the magicians nephew and the last battle.

I must say I really liked the first one without having ever read the books.
It's hard tho to make a franchise like this unless you do it the Lord of the Rings way.
I'll give the next one a try tho, after the first I think it deserves a fair chance.

Yes, Cousin Eustace. I think he returns in a book by himself. I'm not positive though.

BeautifulM said: Actually, it is Lucy, Edmund and their cousin. It does make sense after the Dawn Treader, If I am not mistaken, the original kids don’t show up again until the last book (for a little while) and they’re adults. So they would have to recast anyway (unless the kids are adults by then) and the series would lose even more viewers.

Hmmmm, obviously I don't know enough about the series, but this sort of speaks to continuing the franchise anyway. I really don't think this franchise has the legs to keep audiences interested unless Prince Caspian and Dawn Treader really up the ante. Lion, Witch, Wardrobe was not a bad film, but it was so average it's not like it carried a huge following outside of those that were already interested.
