They go to Mr. Tumnus' house to find it torn to pieces with a note that says he has been arrested for aiding Lucy.

| | Edmund arrives at the Witch's castle and becomes her hostage. She sends her wolves to find his family, while taking Edmund to head them off before they reach Aslan. The Beavers get the children to Aslan first, and Aslan arranges to have Edmund rescued. The White Witch arrives to claim the traitor as her right, and Aslan secretly arranges to die in his place. Aslan is ceremonially killed at the Stone Table, and the witch then takes her army to attack the children and Aslan’s allies. Aslan is resurrected the next morning, with Susan and Lucy present, and travels to the witch’s castle to restore all the animals she had turned to stone. Once restored, they join the battle in progress between the witch and Peter and their forces. Once he arrives, the battle quickly ends, the Witch is killed, and Narnia is freed from all of her magic. The four children are crowned as the new rulers of Narnia. | | Edmund arrives at the Witch's castle and becomes her hostage.
