So, I've just started once again my pilgrimage through the Chronicles. I don't know how many times I've read them all now - it must be into double figures - but I still find new things every time that I hadn't noticed before - in fact, that were completely opposite in my mental picture. This thread is for people to post such details that they have noticed as they read.
These are from the first few chapters of LWW (yes, I'm a read-in-publication-order man).
1) The wardrobe has a looking glass in the door (I've never seen this shown in any of the film versions, as I remember).
2) The lamp-post is 10 minutes' walk from the wardrobe's entry point into Narnia.
3) Lucy first arrives in Narnia at night (for some reason, I always had in mind that it was around lunchtime - perhaps because it was morning in England).
4) In their first conversation, Tumnus checks himself as he speaks - an early clue that all is not well with his intentions, but I had never noticed it before.
5) The Witch's reindeer are white (I always had them in my mind as brown!)
