Let’s start with William Moseley, who played Peter. He’s the responsible older brother we all pretended to be when parents were watching. You know the type: the one who tries to be cool, but still calls their mom “Ma’am” in public.
Then there’s Anna Popplewell as Susan. She’s the voice of reason, the friend who reminds you to bring a jacket when it might rain. In the movie, she’s so sensible it’s almost annoying—like that one person in a group chat who insists on using bullet points for a road trip plan.
Skandar Keynes played Edmund, the moody middle child we all secretly rooted for. He’s the guy who dramatically slams a door, but then five minutes later asks if you want to share snacks. His betrayal of the Turkish delight is just a metaphor for every bad decision you made after skipping lunch.
And Georgie Henley as Lucy? She’s the little sister energy we all love. She’s the one who finds a wardrobe, believes in magic, and makes you feel bad for being skeptical. In real life, she’s probably the friend who drags you to a weird yoga class that turns out be life-changing.
The Adults: Who Let These Legends Loose?
Tilda Swinton as the White Witch is the scariest person you’ve ever seen at a PTA meeting. She glides into a room, makes one passive-aggressive comment about your parking, and suddenly it’s eternal winter. I’m convinced she could give a perfectly polite compliment that still makes you cry.

Then there’s James McAvoy as Mr. Tumnus. He’s the faun who seems nice at first, but almost rats you out to the evil witch. That’s basically every coworker who says “I’ll cover for you” and then emails your boss about a typo. Yet, you can’t stay mad at him because he has such sweet goat legs.
Liam Neeson voices Aslan, which is the perfect casting. He’s the wise parent-figure who shows up, says something profound, and then disappears for a bit. It’s like when your dad gives you a pep talk before a job interview, then takes a nap for two hours.
