As one who has lost her belief in Narnia, Susan is the only one of her siblings who never truly return. Peter finally does go back to Narnia at the end of The Last Battle and, upon arriving, asks how it was possible after being told he would never return. Though Peter and Susan are clearly told in both the books and films that they will not return to Narnia after their second adventure, the films have left the door open just far enough to conceivably bring Peter and Susan back for either a fourth Chronicles of Narnia film or a continuation in the form of a Netflix Narnia series.
This would be a wild deviation from C. Lewis's original novels, but it could be an opportunity to honor these two beloved characters by asking, in C.

I just began reading LWW again last night in preparation for seeing the movie this weekend. When I started to see all the promotional stuff for the movie one of the first things that hit me was how old Peter and Susan seemed.
I've been looking for it in the book as I go, but I have not seen any mention of the children's ages yet. Perhaps I've missed it or they talk about it in one of the later books, but I do not remember. I've read the series a few times, but the last time was over five years ago so I am a little rusty on some of the details. For some reason I was under the impression that Peter was about 13 and Susan about 12 in LWW, but the actor who is playing him in the film is about 17 so that made me think that perhaps Peter is older than I thought.
Actually, I think an older Peter and Susan would make more sense. I find it a tad more plausable to have a year old high king leading an army than a year old king. So, how old are they? Thanks in advance. Namaste Guest. There's another thread where people ask that question and I cited the answer according to a book I have here. It says that Peter is 13, Susan is 12, Edmund is 10, and Lucy is 8.
Thanks for replying. Those were the ages I originally had in my head as well; although for the life of me I could not remember where I found them. Are they in LWW?
I suppose my eyes could have glossed over it when I re-read the book last week. Moments later, Edmund and Lucy came to find the others, with Lucy once more insisting that there was a country inside the wardrobe, and that Edmund had been in there, too, but Edmund said he had just been teasing her, at which point Lucy became upset, and rushed from the room. Peter told Edmund off for it, and expressed fears that there might be something wrong with his youngest sister.
During the night, Peter and Susan became so worried about her that they decided to go and speak to the Professor about it. The Professor did not turn out to be the help that they expected, but help of a different sort. He helped them to establish that Lucy was and always had been more truthful than Edmund, and that she was not mad, which you could tell by talking and looking at her.
Therefore, she had to be telling the truth. Peter and Susan were stunned at this, and Peter pointed out that if what she said were real, she would have had to have been there for ages, but Lucy had had no time to go anywhere. The Professor suggested that another world would likely run on its own time, while a young girl would not likely come up with that idea on her own.
So, Peter made sure that Edmund left Lucy alone about it, and the subject was not spoken of at all. The Professor's house was often toured by visitors, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Macready , led them on a tour around. The Macready disliked children in the first place, but especially when she was leading visitors through the house.
One day, the children were caught with her and a group between them and the door, and speedily headed as far back into the house as they could. Macready seemed to be following them, until eventually the only place left to go was into the spare room where the wardrobe was.
It was Edmund who urged them all inside the wardrobe to hide, but when the four of them looked up again, it was snowing.
When everyone realized at once that this was the world Lucy had found before hand, Peter was the first to apologize for not believing her. Putting on some of the coats that they found in the wardrobe, they set out to explore the forest. Edmund made a comment about which direction they should be going, revealing that he had indeed been there before. Peter was angry with his brother, calling him a poisonous beast, but said nothing further. No one spoke to Edmund, and Susan changed the subject by asking where they were going, and Peter decided that Lucy should lead.
Lucy led them to Mr. Tumnus 's house, a faun whom she had previously met, only to discover that he had been arrested by the White Witch 's Secret Police. She explained that he had been arrested because of her, and eventually Peter agreed that they would do whatever they could to help him. Just outside Mr Tumnus's house, a talking beaver found them and took them to his dam. Once there, he told them about a prophecy , which said that two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve would sit on the Four Thrones at Cair Paravel , and bring an end to the Witch and her never-ending winter.
However, Edmund ended up betraying his siblings while they were listening to this, leaving the beaver's dam to find the White Witch.
