I was thinking in particular of the first film, "Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone" (but let's not go there 
), and the scene during the Hallowe'en feast when a troll is let loose and Hermione is crying in the girls' lavatories. Although I haven't checked the text, I'm pretty sure the book used the word "toilets" (at least in the version published in Britain), whereas Harry and Ron repeatedly used "bathroom" in the film.
Apologies for the off-topic meandering. Still, coming back to the Narnia films, I think it's important that the children at least, if not the other characters, not only have British-sounding voices but also use the right words - not only British patterns of speech, but also correct for the period. For instance, having the Pevensies say "Awesome!" would be wrong on both counts.
