@jasmine_tarkheena I think some changes are acceptable if necessary for an easier screen adaptation. For example, the battle is never truly described in the books. Lucy and Susan are with Aslan, and then we cut to them finding the aftermath. IN the LWW film (at least the Walden Media one), we see the actual battle. And it is EPIC. Also, if physical description isn't really described, then I don't mind the characters not exactly looking like their book counterparts. Also, most people imagine Lucy as a brunette. I had to point out that she's blonde. 

HOWEVER, if they change characters' personalities, then I have issues with that.  

@courtenay I love that!

Hooray, someone else who's noticed that!! (I'm blonde myself. ) Not that it actually makes any difference to the plot, but it is one of those little details that even Pauline Baynes, awesome illustrator though she was, didn't pick up...

Yes, me too.

Good points, though there are different shades of blond. I used to be a light blond when I was really little then it darkened when I got older. Lucy is a blond in the books, though it’s not explicitly stated which shade of blond (not that it’s any important).  Though it is mentioned at the end of LWW that during the Golden Age, she’s golden haired.

I can completely understand why anyone would object their favorite character being a depicted with a different hair color than described in the books. Even if they’re not described in details in the books, for instance, if Emeth is depicted as a blond (when he’s most likely dark haired, since he’s a Calormene), I would flip out!  

The BBC TV series switched the hair colors of Susan and Lucy than from the books (Susan as a blond and Lucy as dark haired where as in the books Susan is dark haired and Lucy is a blond). But even then, they don’t get that mixed up. 

I don't like it when Narnia adaptations change the characters but if I'm honest, the characters aren't really the reasons I love the books-or at least not the books that have been adapted into movies recently. Like, I think Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are all very well written characters but none of them is a great literary character like Jean Valjean or Ebenezer Scrooge or Elizabeth Bennet. (Puddleglum from The Silver Chair on the other hand...)

The things I remember most from the Narnia books tend to be images (and asides from the narrator) so the things that tended to disappoint me from the Walden Media Narnia movies were images that got left out or greatly reduced. While it's true, as Carithewriter says, that they showed the climactic battle in more detail than the book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe did, they completely glossed over all the statues coming back to life. That was one of my favorite bits of descriptive writing in the series. Also, the main reason I'm interested in new movie adaptations is that they can bring images to life in the way stage plays or the BBC miniseries from the 80s couldn't.
