I've been looking forward to this movie for months, but when I was on my way to see it this afternoon I was a little nervous, because Narnia was the first series I really had a fannish relation to. I read the books when I was nine, and I have a very clear memory of turning 10 at my grandmother's house and getting the whole series as a birthday present, and "re-ordering" them in their little case so that they matched the story chronology (the way they are sold now) instead of the original order of publication. I explained very solemnly to my mom and my aunts exactly why I was doing that, and I think now they were probably very amused.
