The Chronicles of Narnia has got to pull the biggest mindfuck on the children.

[charlie and algernon]

Four kids stumble into a closet and find magical world with fanciful creatures. They embark on a great adventure and become literally royalty and rule ove an entire world for years well into adulthood.

Then they go back through the closet and suddenly they're back to children as if all those awesome years never happened?! How do they not jump off tower bridge after that? How do they possibly restart their lives knowing that they ALREADY grew up once before?
