[edit] Trivia
- Georgie wrote two books while filming The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: "The Snow Stag" and "The Pillar of Secrets".[1]
- As a thank you gift for being in his movie, Andrew Adamson gave each of the children an iPod. When Georgie got hers she thanked him whole-heartedly, but once he was out of earshot she turned to her mother and said, "What is it?"
- At first she thought that director Andrew Adamson was a woman because of his light hair and fair skin.[2]
- Anna Popplewell got Georgie to cry by saying "You would cry for your own sister, but why not for me?" Which continued on with "I hate you! I hate you!" And Georgie bawled for the Aslan-death scene.
