Does this Harry Potter magic not sound familiar? (warning, spoiler for the last book)?
So you know how Voldemort kills Harry but can't actually kill him because of how intertwined they are? (like you know, the horcrux situation and how Voldemort has Harry's blood running through his veins and that ****)
Well in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the witch couldn't kill Aslan because of some deep magic and that's what Harry Potter reminded me of. Can someone explain to me the witch/Aslan situation, because I've only ever watched the movies and I don't quite understand it. Is it similar or am I being ignorant?

I think its a fairly common theme to have the good and the evil characters intertwined. JK Rowling used this connection to add a plot twist where Harry would be forced to die in order to destroy the horcrux within him.
CS Lewis, however, used his books as an allusion to the Bible. Aslan represents Jesus, as seen when he is resurrected from the dead. The witch represents the devil; she constantly manipulated people, especially Edmund, to do bad things. She even tried to manipulate Aslan, much like the devil attempted to manipulate and bribe Jesus during his 40 days and 40 nights of fasting in the desert.

My understanding was that the witch could not kill Aslan on the Traitor's Rock because he was not a traitor - it was innocence that saved him. I guess this could be considered magic.
