Oh, I don't think he will be constantly tempted. At least, I, too, hope not, but the impression I have from the trailer is that the Witch represents Ed's particular nightmare on the Island of Dreams. Something he in particular has to renounce. That would make sense to me, and I think it might work quite well. It's a bit like Arwen in LOTR - when we were talking about how they might expand her role, both Deirdre and I said, "They'll probably have her take Glorfindel's place in the first book." And, lo and behold, that was exactly what they did, and it was fine! So I'm not too worried.

OTOH, I can see why you are, because of the character assassination practiced on Peter in "Caspian". I think they got a lot of things right in that movie, but they really, really got Peter wrong. I wouldn't want them to do the same to Edmund.

Still looking forward to Wayfarer. Deirdre's library got their copy today (no spoilers before the 22, we promise!) and I am looking forward to reading it when she finishes, if my library copy doesn't come in first. It's a lovely cover!
