Watching Adaptations with People Who Haven't Read the Books

Have you ever seen or listened to a Narnia adaptation with someone for whom it's the first time they heard the story?

Here's something interesting I've noticed. As a fan, watching the LWW movie, I'm thinking, "Oh, they're trying to make Edmund more sympathetic than he is in the book." But newcomers who are expecting him to be just another protagonist tend to be surprised and disgusted by Edmund's actions.

Even though that example is from the Walden Media movies, I'd also be interested in hearing about non-fans' reactions to the BBC TV serials or the BBC radio dramas or the Focus on the Family ones-or even reading the board book.
