If memory serves, it seems to me that The Magician's Nephew, while technically taking place chronologically earlier than TLTWATW, makes more sense if read in its publication order. (As a first installment, I think it lacks the breadth and scope of Lion, and I recall wondering if it would even hold up as worthy of an entire feature adaptation. For that matter, not every book in the series has the epic battles and big quest elements.)
Like Nephythys, I'm most curious to see how the harsh elements of The Last Battle are handled, if in fact they are. I remember being appalled and distressed as a youngster about that particular finale.
