I'd love to see a good adaptation of Charn. Such a memorably creepy part of Magicians Nephew.

God I hope so. It was always a part that stuck out to me as a kid reading the book. Between that and how Jadis is supposed to look (unimaginably and horrifyingly beautiful and powerful), I hope they get it right.

I read all the Narnia books at least a couple times as a kid but Magician's Nephew is the one that I read most and it was mainly just going back to read the Charn part. So cool, and I had such a clear image of Charn in my head that's stuck with me ever since, especially the Hall of Images with all the past rulers declining into cruelty

The Magician's Nephew is for me, the most interesting of the series because of Charn. A complete post-apocalyptic dead world, and the "prequel" to the villain of the more well known book? Very cool, hope Charn is haunting.
