The Children

[The Prince]

Okay I was wondering what you all think of the children. Are they how you imagined them? wich one?

[Jewel of Narnia]

I think Susan and Edmund are pretty close to how I imagined...It's hard to choose which one is the most, but I'll vote for Edmund. Skandar Keynes has those dark piercing eyes that kinda have a treacherous look to them...I dunno. :o

[melbren]

This Edmund is almost exactly how I imagined him. The BBC Edmund and the animated Edmund were so far from what I had always pictured.

[PrinceOfTheWest]

Georgie Henley as Lucy seems almost ideal, though they made the same mistake that Pauline Baynes did. Lewis describes her as blonde ("fair") in several places, but people keep envisioning her as brunette!

[she-elfwarrior19]

I think Peter Edmund and Susan for mine :). I imagined Lucy's hair more blonde but the other were like really close to what i imagined.

[pretty_in_pink]

yeah i imagioned lucy a bit different and susan seemed a bit....grown up, however peter and edmond were really similar to how i imagioned them, mind you i never imagioned peter to be as fit as he is!!! and he goes to my school. how dudey is that! :cool:

[AslanJudah]

I always imagined Susan as blonde. Maybe I got them confused when Lewis was describing them. Did he describe Susan as blonde? I'll have to check...

[NEllas of Dorthonion]

I don't think that the children were ever described in any of the books. Were they?

[NEllas of Dorthonion]

i just remembered in the end of lww C.S. Lewis says that susan has black hair and Lucy has blond hair.

[Lady Vix]

I always seemed to think of Susan as blonde and Lucy as dark, Lucy is very much how I imagined her, and Edmund and Peter are also pretty much how I thought they'd be.

[Darth_Digger]

I thought Peter looked like i imagined him! :D

[zadok]

susan seemed a bit....grown up,

Care to elaborate?

[unleavened]

I definately thought Peter was exactly the way I imagined him. Lucy is pretty close too.

[Dernhelm]

Susan was supposed to be dark haired (And Lucy blond)...but the BBC movie reversed that; so it's really easy to mix it up. I've always had trouble visulizing Lucy as blond...no one I've seen that's blond would look "right". The animated Lucy is the best I've seen. :p They did a dreadful job of Susan's hair though, I think... :p

[she-elfwarrior19]

For which movie?

[waterhogboy]

Moseley: I used to listen to the stories when I was about 7 years old. I always loved them. I used to listen to the story tape. Then when I was 15 I was auditioning for the part and I wasn’t sure if the stories would still relate to me in some ways, because I was a little bit cool. I’m a teenager! Then I read the stories and I still loved them. The issues still relate to the me, if not even moreso. I loved them and they confirmed my thoughts of being in the film

Hahah - this made me laugh............ 'because I was a little bit cool!'

Sure you are mate!!

[Valin Kenobi]

Peter.

I'd always envisioned Susan as blonde for some reason, even though the book says otherwise.

Presumably based on Baynes' illustrations, I figured Lucy as a brunette.

And I'm not really sure what I expected Edmund to look like, but what we got wasn't it. I think I'd expected lighter hair.

I'm not saying any of the actor choices are bad, just different from my mental images.

[edens demise]

I always pictured Lucy as having light hair. She was the least like I imagined. I expected her to be older, although still young but older than she was.

I think that Peter and Edmund were most like I expected.

[Tsukiko]

Well..I kinda could say all of them really. Edmund with black hair, Susan dark hair, Peter blonde hair, and Lucy with dark hair. So its all a tie.

[Aravis Kenobi]

Lucy was pretty close; but Susan and Peter made it in the voice (as I'm more a fan of the audiodrama then the books.)

[Son of Adam]

I thought they all were pretty much how I imagined them, but Lucy was the one that stood out the most. Georgie IS Lucy. Peter is 2nd followed by Edmund and then Susan.

[Jessie-Simone]

Peter was the way i thought he would look and act.

[-Daughter of Eve-]

I would think Lucy is the one who is closest to what I imagined.

[DaydreamBeliever]

Edmund was just as I imagined....I had the hair color the opposite of what it was for the other Pevensies,Blonde hair on the girls and dark on Peter...and Susan was the most different from what I imagined.

[LadyAnneOfNarnia]

Lucy was the closest to the way I imagined her in the book. Georgie was soooo good! Edmund was probably second best.

[Samwise Gamgee]

all four because they were so perfect to what I thought would be the children. Susan was just right I thought and so was Gorgie and Ed was just right and Peter..well Peter was very cool and he was the first one that I thought was like the book.

[LadyAnneOfNarnia]

Are you German Aslan13?

[Samwise Gamgee]

um my heritage is but I don't live in germany, I live in america.

[LadyAnneOfNarnia]

Cool! What state?

[Samwise Gamgee]

A south east state

[LadyAnneOfNarnia]

Cool!!! :D

[Tazzy]

WOW! Skandar Keynes was a great Edmund! Exactly the way I imagined him - which is cool, because Edmund is my favourite.
oh, and little Georgie was awesome!

[Into the Wardrobe]

I picked Susan, because Anna looked like what the book described and did a good job of acting like it as well. I grew up with the book descriptions, but when it comes to just acting apart from the look of the character, then I agree with Carl. Georgie is Lucy. She did a great job with that role...she just didn't fit the book description per se, so I couldn't say that she was how I always pictured Lucy...but pretty close. Same goes for the character of Edmund. Peter did ok on his looks overall, but I pictured Peter as stronger in heart...but that had more to do with script writing than William's performance. He did fine with the battle scenes, but I pictured him as more of a take charge guy the rest of the time before the battle...and not one who would be dragging his heels so much in taking the leadership role. I understand why they had him play it that way, and why this would make sense...it just made for a weaker character in my book than what I'd always imagined Peter to be.

I'd agree with this assessment. Susan was most similar to how I viewed her character, but I also would picture her as slightly more "worldly" looking, if that makes sense. I guess that's just because of what happens in The Last Battle; it's a bit too early to hint at that, I suppose, but even so...Edmund and Peter looked roughly the same age, and I've always thought Peter should look slightly older. Ditto for the "take charge" comment. Georgie did a great job, and even though she didn't quite fit my imagined picture, I could believe her to be Lucy, especially because she had such innocence about her.
