Personally I always found that rather odd, as in the book it gives the impression that she's on the smaller side. All the same, I really liked the girl who played Jill in BBC's Silver Chair.
Yes, I liked Camilla Powers also as Jill Pole, and didn't find it at all odd that she was taller than David Thwaites who played Eustace in the BBC production of SC. I thought one reason why those sporty cricketing hooligans were bullying Jill Pole at the beginning of the movie was because of her name matching her height. If they did the same with the new movie it wouldn't upset me all that much.

Now that is an interesting comment to make. I hope you are right. In a recent
news item about VDT winning a Crystal Seal Dove award, Lucy was quoted as having affirmed that neither her character nor Will Poulter's character is in Magician's Nephew, but that they are in other movies that might be made. There is a possibility there could be some sort of cameo for her and Will Poulter to appear in if MN is greenlit, especially as Magician's Nephew, whenever it is made, and whichever other movies have or have not been made, is still going to be one huge flashback.
After all, if it is possible to give the White Witch more movie time in VDT, especially, it should be just as possible to find a way to keep Will Poulter in view for a later movie. Especially as it would be easy to do it as part of one of those Narnia talks Eustace said he had with Lucy and Edmund at the end of film VDT.
