I'm guessing they always make the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe first because its the one that is the most exciting?
I mean not really that much happens in the Magician's Nephew, at least not enough for a movie. Its more like a prologue.

Seems to me it's also the one most people identify as being the first. For many years it was published as the first, so most people who will make the choice to bring their kids to this film (i.e. folks my age) will be thinking of the Lion etc. as being the beginning. Then for the kids, there are four children of varying ages and both genders to identify with. Then, there is all that action and good triumphing over evil etc. I don't remember the Magician's Nephew very well, which says something, but the Lion et al has everything a good kid's movie needs:

curmudgeons who may be more than they seem
a big, old, lonely house
mystery
magic
evil mean adversaries
kids as heros
A wrong that only they can make right
normal kid suffering tragedy is transported to marvelous destiny
etc.
etc.

It's a lock.

It's been a while but from what I remember is that the Narnia books kind of come in sections. There are those with all 4 Pevensies, then Lucy, Edmond and Eustace, then further groupings. I'm sure 'They' are at work on Prince Caspian, but, as with many potential sequels, are waiting to see if the first one makes any money.

As I said in my last post, since The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was the first one published, they might make them in the order the books were originally published, which goes as fiollows:

In order of publication:

1) The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

2) Prince Caspian

3) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

4) The Silver Chair

5) The Horse and His Boy

6) The Magician's Nephew

7) The Last Battle

Again, this is the order the books were published in initially.
