i understand from a friend that this is not a movie for young children. I have read the books and it really shouldn't be because there are some things that are scary. I know that CS Lewis's step-son has been very involved in the production and he is holding them close to the truth of the books.

        Thanks for the clarification Chasuk. So the movie is just now coming out? After 50 years? Did it start as books?

        Let me know if I can take my 4 and 6 year old Grandsons to King Kong. 

        I will post after I see Narnia as well. I assume it is for children.

        First, The Chronicles of Narnia predate the Harry Potter series by
        nearly 50 years.  Second, Harry Potter is not a trilogy.  Third, The
        Chronicles of Narnia is not trilogy, but comprised of seven volumes.
        Therefore, you might be able to refer to the Harry Potter series as
        "another" Narnia, but not vice versa.

        Harry Potter does borrow from a lot of earlier works, but not from
        Narnia, especially.  Rowling takes a lot of the same tropes and
        combines them in marketable way.  Bravo for her.  I understand that
        she is now one of the wealthiest women in the world.

        Thursday, the family and I are going to go see The Chronicles of
        Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  I'll post my review
        afterwards!

        Tomorrow, I'm going to go see the new King Kong.  Has anyone seen that?
