It must have made quite a picture indeed, Swanwhite.

While the Witch herself might not have been able to enter the Cair, do you think she ever would have sent bespelled Narnians to do what she couldn't? Was there a protection magic over the thrones themselves to prevent them being destroyed? Would her servants ever have tried to loot other treasures of the Cair, if they couldn't touch the prophetic part of it?

I rather fancy that neither her nor her servants had any power over it.

That's a good idea, Swanwhite.

@ Swanwhite: That's what I always thought, too. Jadis doesn't come across as the kind of person who would overlook an easy chance to destroy a thing like Cair Paravel.
For me it came down to two options: either she had no power against or over it, or else the fact that Aslan isn't to be trifled with and she knew that His power was greater than hers. But I supposed that she might have given it a try (because why not) and failed, because that seemed pretty in-character.
