A lot of people wanted to see Puddleglum, and I agree. I think it would be even better to think about after that joke about Andrew Adamson playing Puddleglum. I would really want to see the Queen of the Underland scene. It's one of pretty much every Narnia fan's favorite scene with the famous quote, "I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia!"
I would also really want to see the scene in HHB when Aslan says, "I was the lion" and tells Shasta about how he was with him through all his travels. It could be so powerful if they did it right and is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series.

I think the most disappointing thing is knowing that people who don't know The Chronicles of Narnia will end with a "bad taste in their mouths" from VDT. I don't think it was a good representation of Narnia and they won't have a chance to see the beauty and charm of it.

I've always loved HHB. It's such a great adventure story, and I love how it is a coming of age story that isn't at all cheesy in the book. I would have loved to see it on the big screen, as I think it would translate extremely well to film. Therefore it could have easily been one of the strongest entries in the series.

I also just adore the relationship between Shasta and Bree. You could really have a great character and relation focus in the film without it loosing a lot of momentum, since the characters spend so much time together.

I agree with what some of you have stated earlier, that the end of the Last Battle would be very amazing to see. :)

The first book I ever read was The Magicians Nephew so I would love to see Polly's hideout in the attic and the creation of Narnia! And if I remember correctly in the Last Battle there is a part where Father Time blots out the dying sun,that part I would love to see! And also the part in The Horse and His Boy where Bree teaches Shasta how to ride him!

So, basically all of the remaining books!

I really wanted to see HHB, I wanted to see how they would picture Shasta (Cor) and Aravis and Corin, was also looking forward to seeing the Pevensies again, as well as seeing how the Calormen would be protrayed :( *sigh*

I was also looking forward to seeing Puddleglum and prince Rilian

And of course I really wanted LB to come out, it's my third favorite book and I was so looking forward to it, we would see Peter again and have so many of the old characters come back again :(

I wanted to see Puddleglum as well. The whole book of The Silver Chair, actually. It's probably my favorite book. One part I especially will miss is the Underworld scenes. Those were amazing and I always thought they were really cool. And they made me want to go looking for cracks and caves to go under the earth. *wishes longingly*

Agree with narnian at heart above. I wanted to see the entire Silver Chair book made....the dark Underworld, Puddleglum, especially the Jill and Eustace bickering and bonding, Glimfeather, the Parliament of Owls, the dwarves, the snowball dance, Trumpkin, Rilian, etc.

Also sad not to see The Last Battle filmed, disappointing that there isn't a serious attempt at making that book into a movie (even if it is violent in some of its aspects).

I don't know for sure. It is probably a toss up between Shasta, Aravis, and Jill. Those characters I really wanted to see. We didn't even see Shasta and Aravis in the BBC versions so maybe I am more upset about not seeing them.

Personally, I'll going to miss not having Puddleglum on the big screen. He is by far my favorite Narnian character. I was also looking forward to the HHB being made into a movie, which some you have already mentioned.

I would have liked to see a PC style of epic Horse & His Boy the most, but i would prefer that MN and SC are made before it too :p

The one book I really wanted to see on screen was HHB. I've heard many people comment on it being the most boring and out of place book, but for me it's on of my favorite and I think it's place in the series is invaluable, and from the time my brother read it to me, I could just imaging such a beautiful movie being made! Ever scene was so vivid to me and I just knew it would make an awe-inspiring movie, and it's so disappointing to realize it will probably never be made, or it will never be made right since the directors have such a knack for ruining the movies!! X( ~x( :-q

Another thing I was really looking forward to seeing was Tash and all of the Last Battle. Such a shame...

Higher up and further in.... and the dwarves eating glorious food but thinking it was dirt...and this one line "Kiss me, Jewel. For certainly this is our last night on earth. And if ever I offended against you in any matter great or small, forgive me now."

Ah they could be such wonderful movies if only the stories were truly depicted... to paraphrase a line from a simple movie that made a reasonable amount of money... (film) it they will come... they wont know why...

I'm so sad that HHB didn't get made, it was my favorite book out of the series. It was like the perfect combo, it was an adventure story, it was a love story, it was a war story. In my opinion it was all around just the best book ever. Not to mention that my favorite character in all of the series is Corin, I would have loved to see him on the big screen. Boxing. Just epic. :(

If you ain't first, you're last.

All of HHB and MN... I love those books. And Puddleglum is an amazing character on so many counts, and I'm still of the opinion that Patrick Stewart would've been a fantastic Marshwiggle. :p

But for particulars... It'd have to be either Charn or the Apple in MN. The cinematography and atmosphere in Charn! It gives me chills just thinking about it.

Also, the Apple confrontation, and later, the one picked with permission, is one of my favourite scenes in all of the Chronicles. The description of the way the forbidden apple changed Jadis so horribly is a stark contrast to the way the gifted apple changed Digory's mother... admittedly, the Focus on the Family audio drama never fails to bring water my eyes at that point. To see those to parallel scenes would have been amazing for me. :(
