    They should have gone straight to Magician's Nephew after Prince Caspian as was rumored and then done Horse and his Boy after that. Film adaptations always die at Dawn Treader, or if you're the Doctor then Silver Chair. Those two are not the strongest stories.

    Personally I'd straight up do it in chronological order:

    1.) Magician's Nephew
    2.) Lion, Witch, Wardrobe (ends with kids on thrones happily ever after)
    3.) Horse and his Boy
    3.5) Lion, Witch, Wardrobe reprise, maybe a mid-credits scene for Horse and Boy with the stag hunt and a post-credits scene where the grown-up Pevensies tumble out of the wardrobe as kids.
    4.) Prince Caspian
    5.) Last Battle

    I like the idea of working in Dawn Treader as a series. Silver Chair I'm just not sure about. It was my least favorite. I think Lewis was trying too hard to be Tolkien in that one.

    What I would really like to see is Malazan [wikipedia.org] get the same treatment as A Song of Fire and Ice. Erikson saw Tolkien's world-building and moved the bar higher.
