Added this after looking at the comparative age tabal in my copy of Companion to Narnia
Added DiffLines:
* AgeLift: Applied to the Pevensies, Caspian and Eustace. In Lewis' manuscript notes he approximates the children's ages at 13 for Peter, 12 for Susan, 10 for Edmund, and 8 for Lucy. In the movies they're implied to be about two years to three years older due to the ages of their actors. Caspian is indicated to be around thirteen in his first appearance, while the movie has him at sixteen or seventeen. Eustace is apparently nine in VODT, but is at least fourteen or fifteen in the film adaptation.

* AdaptationExpansion: Many scenes that take only a paragraph or two in the books are greatly elaborated. Quite nicely, actually, especially for the first film. A good example is the final battle, which is barely covered in the book. There, the narration follows Susan, Lucy, and Aslan, who don't arrive until the very end of the battle. Also, the scenes of the Blitz are shown, which were probably necessary because children today often don't learn about UsefulNotes/WorldWarII in school until they're too old (or think they're too old) for films like this.
** There is expansion in the second one as well. Susan's inability to let go of Narnia, Peter's problems with becoming a kid again, Edmund's quiet strength and heroism and Caspian's belief in his own inability to be a good king are shown. Also, they showed how the Pevensies were not normal children, but rather people with an adult's experience and wisdom. The character development from the first movie is especially shown with Susan and Edmund.
** The expansion for the third one was also very well done as well, with little threads added showing Caspian and Edmund's brotherly friendship, Eustace and Reepicheep's bond, the inner struggles that Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy were all going through and a tiny, humorous one of Edmund being a bit of a thorn in Drinian's side. Also, seeing how Caspian was devastated to lose the Pevensies a second time as they had become family to him was a wonderful expansion from the book.
* AdaptationExplanationExtrication:
** In the books, after the kids became kings and queens of Narnia, the narration tells how they ruled successfully for years and years and were given nicknames: King Peter TheMagnificent, Queen Susan the Gentle, King Edmund the Just, Queen Lucy the Valiant. In TheFilmOfTheBook, they're crowned with these names while still kids just after winning their victory, which makes them seem slightly ridiculous and over-the-top -- especially in the case of Edmund, whose main contribution to the plot was betraying his siblings to the White Witch before he got better. Although it ''was'' [[CrystalDragonJesus Aslan]] who gave them the titles, so one could argue that he'd already know stuff like that.
** It's also explained in the book that the White Witch's magical food - at Edmund's request Turkish Delight - has some mind control powers over whoever eats it, and shown that Edmund only really let her use him out of fear, making Edmund's betrayal over a supply of candy seem far less petty.

* HollywoodTactics: Your army is outnumbered and less well-armed than the approaching enemy. Why not place them in open ground at the bottom of a set of really steep hills with broken ground approaches, that would provide a really good defensive position? And when the enemy army appears, why not charge them head-on with a loose formation of mixed cavalry, and then hold position in the middle of an open plain? Instead of maybe having the charge rake across the front of the enemy advance before withdrawing to the base of the hills to prepare for another charge? And why not post all the archers at the top of the hill so that they can not bother to provide a withering fire against the enemy before they come into contact with your own troops?
