I started to write it all out for you, but there is too many Biblical references in the Chronicles of Narnia to be listed here.  I hate to leave links to websites as my answer, but please read on and see what you think:\n\nhttp://cslewis.drzeus.net/papers/lionwitchallegory.html

When the children were in Narnia, they aged according to Narnia time. Although time in our world appears to stand still while in Narnia, time marches on in Narnia. This subject is discussed in the second book of the series "Prince Caspian"

Too much to give highlights in this forum, but here are a few high points.\n\nSnape becomes DADA teacher.\nNew character "Slughorn" is new potions master\nHarry borrows/steals an old potions book that is filled with mysterious potion-making tips that make him suddenly the "best" potions student.\nDumbledore giove Harry private lessons, in which they study memories and gain clues to Voldemort's possible weaknesses.\nDumbledore tasks Harry to retrieve a Memory from Slughorn\n    (The memory deals with how young Tom Riddle (Voldemort) decided to split his soul and save the bits of it in "horcruxes".  These prevent him from being able to die.)\nRon and Hermione become a couple\nHarry learns how to Apparate.\nHarry and Ginny Weasley become a couple\nHarry is convinced that Malfoy and Snape are plotting to kill Dumbledore.\nDumbledore assures Harry that Snape is acting exactly as Dumbledre expects him to.\nHarry and Dumbledore learn about 7 posible splinters of Voldemort's soul, and go on  a quest to retrieve and destroy one that they know about.\n\nThe quest goes badly, the horcrux has already been stolen, and Dumbledore is gravely injured.\n\nAs Harry and Dumbledore return to the castle, Malfoy is waiting to kill him but can't pull the trigger.\n\nSnape appears and a shocking event happens\n\nThats the gist of it.  Sorry if I've spoiled it.

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.

It is.  It can be read in 2 ways, as either a Christian allegory, or as a children's fantasy novel.  I loved the stories as a kid, and I loved the allegory aspect of them as I got older.  \n\nC.S. Lewis wrote many other books, such as "Mere Christianity" and "The Screwtape Letters", which are different examinations of the Christian faith.\n\nC.S. Lewis was an atheist for a number of years, but conversations with JRR Tolkein played a role in turning him back to his Christian roots.  He was definitely in his Christian phase at the time he wrote the Narnia series.

Here are a few of the main ones:\n\nHorace Slughorn- An old friend of Dumbledore's, and the new Potions master. He serves a crucial role in finding out about Voldemort's weaknesses. He tends to pick favorites, which include Harry and Hermione. His favorites are a part of what he calls the "Slug Club." Any more information would really spoil it for you.\n\nRufus Scrimgeour- (sp?) The new Minister. Again, any more information would spoil it.\n\nFenrir Greyback- A werewolf and death eater. Greyback is completely savage, biting people to get his revenge. He was the person who bit Lupin.  (He wanted to get revenge on Lupin's father.)\n\nRomilda Vane- an annoying fourth-year who REALLY likes Harry. She spends a lot of time with her friends, trying to figure out a way to slip Harry a love potion.\n\nCormac McLaggen- A member of the Slug club. McLaggen is the runner-up for Gryffindor keeper. He might have been keeper, but Hermione interfered at tryouts and he missed his last goal (and, of course, Harry can't stand him.) He is very conceited, and is convinced that he has the skills to replace the whole Quidditch team.\n\nThe Guant family and Eileen Prince are very significant... so much so that I don't want to spoil any of it.\n\nThere are many, many more, but they are all either insignificant or so filled with spoilers that I don't want to say them.

excellent book, I would suggest doing your own homework. But if you are just looking for some ideas to get you going then i can help. Have you actually read the novel?\n\nRalph\n\nRalph is the athletic, charismatic protagonist of Lord of the Flies. Elected the leader of the boys at the beginning of the novel, Ralph is the primary representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership in the novel. While most of the other boys initially are concerned with playing, having fun, and avoiding work, Ralph sets about building huts and thinking of ways to maximize their chances of being rescued. For this reason, Ralph’s power and influence over the other boys are secure at the beginning of the novel. However, as the group gradually succumbs to savage instincts over the course of the novel, Ralph’s position declines precipitously while Jack’s rises. Eventually, most of the boys except Piggy leave Ralph’s group for Jack’s, and Ralph is left alone to be hunted by Jack’s tribe. Ralph’s commitment to civilization and morality is strong, and his main wish is to be rescued and returned to the society of adults. In a sense, this strength gives Ralph a moral victory at the end of the novel, when he casts the Lord of the Flies to the ground and takes up the stake it is impaled on to defend himself against Jack’s hunters.\nIn the earlier parts of the novel, Ralph is unable to understand why the other boys would give in to base instincts of bloodlust and barbarism. The sight of the hunters chanting and dancing is baffling and distasteful to him. As the novel progresses, however, Ralph, like Simon, comes to understand that savagery exists within all the boys. Ralph remains determined not to let this savagery -overwhelm him, and only briefly does he consider joining Jack’s tribe in order to save himself. When Ralph hunts a boar for the first time, however, he experiences the exhilaration and thrill of bloodlust and violence. When he attends Jack’s feast, he is swept away by the frenzy, dances on the edge of the group, and participates in the killing of Simon. This firsthand knowledge of the evil that exists within him, as within all human beings, is tragic for Ralph, and it plunges him into listless despair for a time. But this knowledge also enables him to cast down the Lord of the Flies at the end of the novel. Ralph’s story ends semi-tragically: although he is rescued and returned to civilization, when he sees the naval officer, he weeps with the burden of his new knowledge about the human capacity for evil.\n\nJack\n\nThe strong-willed, egomaniacal Jack is the novel’s primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power—in short, the antithesis of Ralph. From the beginning of the novel, Jack desires power above all other things. He is furious when he loses the election to Ralph and continually pushes the boundaries of his subordinate role in the group. Early on, Jack retains the sense of moral propriety and behavior that society instilled in him—in fact, in school, he was the leader of the choirboys. The first time he encounters a pig, he is unable to kill it. But Jack soon becomes obsessed with hunting and devotes himself to the task, painting his face like a barbarian and giving himself over to bloodlust. The more savage Jack becomes, the more he is able to control the rest of the group. Indeed, apart from Ralph, Simon, and Piggy, the group largely follows Jack in casting off moral restraint and embracing violence and savagery. Jack’s love of authority and violence are intimately connected, as both enable him to feel powerful and exalted. By the end of the novel, Jack has learned to use the boys’ fear of the beast to control their behavior—a reminder of how religion and superstition can be manipulated as instruments of power.

JK Rowling is Christian, or at least she's never come out and said she's Pagan. Although there are some clearly Pagan thems in the HP books.  \n1.  THe wands of the 3 main Characters are based on the Celtic tree months.  \n\n2.  Four Houses/Four Elements\n\n3.  There is obviously God and Goddess symbols at Hogwarts. (Cauldrons, wands, broomsticks, etc.)

i got hooked on harry potter after seeing the first movie, then i read the books, they are a lot better than the movies, i would have loved to see the quidditch world cup in the 4th movie, but no they left all that out, my favorite chacter in the book is a toss up between dumbeldore and mad eye moody, they are both awesome, and the last book is under raps, but i can tell u one thing from having debates about the sixth book, DUMBELDORE FAKED HIS DEATH, HE IS NOT DEAD, email me or message me for details

I don't get it either.  There is plenty of magic in Narnia, such as Asland blowing on the statues to bring them back to life.  There is also a lot of talk about the 'deep magic' so there is magic in it  I don't see why they condemn one and not the other, makes no sense.  I think it has to do with some people can't tell the difference between fantasy magic and Wicca.  They lump them both together eventhough they aren't the same.  I just think it is plain stupidity myself and makes no sense.  Haven't heard them raise a stick about the Charlie Bones series either or Lord of the Rings.  Why they are singling out one series is beyond me!

In the book... Faramir.  Hands down. He's an outlaw, but on the side of good.  He wears green! That part where he comes out of the forest and meets the hobbits is one of my favourite parts.\n\nAlso, Eowyn. She's so damn cool in the book, disappointed in love, she goes out to fight for good and her family honour. I was quite disappointed by her portrayal in the film, she was too sulky and not shining enough!  \n\nOtherwise... Treebeard!   And I have to say it always disappoints me (although I understand it) that they don't have Tom Bombadil in the films...\n\nIn the films... hmmm harder, because Peter Jackson doesn't concentrate on character so much as epic story and effect.  That's not necessarily a criticism.  I have to say I liked Legolas, even though Orlando Bloom isn't a great actor in my book.\nGandalf was cool, but a little bit lame when he became Gandalf the White.\n\nBut Boromir wins, because Sean Bean was awesome, and that's the best screen death ever. EVER I say. :D

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.
