Was the professor in "Narnia" supposed to be Aslan too?

No, although that would be a lovely interpretation if there weren't any background info. The professor is Digory Kirk, who also appears in The Magician's Nephew as a boy and The Last Battle as an even older man. In both cases he interacts with Aslan and is clearly human; in The Magician's Nephew Aslan helps save Digory's dying mother.\n\nSo, the reason Professor Kirk was so knowing about the whole situation was that he himself had been to Narnia as a child and knew the wardrobe came from a magical tree, not because he had any magical qualities.

Not sure how he will fit into the part. I read the book 3 times and still trying to picture him ....also trying to think of who my choice would have been. Time will tell ~ just hope the movie does the book justice when it opens next month.

He was the Elf in Narnia. I loved him more than any other character. His eyes really got to me.

Not the 2002 version. He was in King Arthur, though.

I thought the exact same thing...it does sound alot like him. It probably is. Alot of actors do voiceover work.

Maybe he was at the book signing?\nThou shalt not upset those that believe in faerie tales!

Looks like it... currently, that answer to Frodo was 22 hours ago... and it was him, I checked his profile - bad when there's so many versions of the same guy that you have to check a profile to see which one it is.

The other me! That was a disney movie back in the day, when a boy clones himself and they cause all kinds of trouble. If its a hispanic thing, I don't know it.

NO!  NO!  NO!\n\nIreadalot's answer is NOT correct!  "Bontu Sitmus" is not a creation of George Lucas, Lucasfilm or any licensed subsidiary!\n\nDo NOT believe ANYTHING you read on Supershadow's website!  Supershadow's whole purpose is to disseminate FALSE information about Star Wars (for whatever purpose...perhaps he is a goofball who gets off on starting false rumors...or perhaps he was under the employ of Lucasfilm to purposefully mislead those who attempt to reveal spoiler information).  Supershadow also indicates that Yoda's species is a "Whill," and George Lucas has already  explicitly said that Yoda is NOT a Whill.\n\nYoda's species and much of his history, including who his master was, has NOT been divulged by Lucasfilm or any other official source.  George Lucas is *purposefully* keeping a tight lid on much of Yoda's origin because he feels (much like Tolkien felt about the "Tom Bombadil" character in his Lord of the Rings stories) that some things should remain a mystery.\n\nWe may never know who Yoda's Master was.  So, I'm afraid your son will have to be satisfied with the response that "no one knows" or "that information has been lost to history."  ;-)

Although that may be, that Gandolf also has similarities to Jesus, however, C.S.Lewis specifically stated that he wrote the Narnia series to indoctrinate children into Christian beliefs, and so that they would be more amenable to them when they were older. \n\nAs a matter of fact, he specifically says this in one of the Narnia books, The Dawn Treader. At the end of the book, Lucy and Edmund meet Aslan in the form of a lamb (a lamb!). To Lucy's question about how to enter Aslan's country, the lamb replies: "For you the door into Aslan's country is from your own world." Then, after the lamb is changed back into Aslan, Edmund asks: "Are--are you there [in our world] too, Sir?" Aslan responds "I am...But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." \n\nC.S.Lewis, through Aslan, makes it clear that the young reader's experiences through the Narnia series have just been to prepare them for recognizing Jesus in their own world.

I recommend that you look into the folklore literature which will demonstrate how similar the bible and its themes are to other mythologies. Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung are excellent authors to start with. Christians basically believe what every other faith believes. Their way is the only TRUE path to God. In my opinion (as a Christian) that's incredibly narrow-minded. If you've read the Chronicles of Narnia (and if you haven't you should) the last chapter of book 7 "The last Battle" has a scene where Aslan (Christ) allows a young man who was a follower of Tash (another god/demon) into the real Narnia (Heaven) because his actions were congruent with the Aslan's teachings even though the young man didn't realize it. Basically I believe that those who are following Christ's spirit or philosophy even if they're not doing so in name have as much if not more truth than most christians.

I do believe the actor is called John Leslie rather than Lesley? I don't know of any John Leslie lookalikes myself, but am aware of a rather fetching "Bloke from Keane" doppleganger. He also does "Toad from Toad Hall".

Your description kind of reminds me of "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard," but only slightly.  Either you don't remember it well, or I'm totally wrong.  Either way, here is a link to that: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/hobbits\n\nI hope that's what you're looking for.  If not, sorry.

I read the books as a kid and loved them, so I was apprehensive when I heard about a movie in production.\n\nThe movie was good, not great. I did think that Liam Neeson was perfect for voicing Aslan!
