Do you think in the next Narnia movies that the audience will become attached to characters like Jill Pole and Eustace Scrub just like they did with the four Penvensie children? I am afraid that people who have not read the full Narnia series will affiliate Narnia with the Pevensie children and not be able to accept the new characters. Thoughts?
