There are a bunch of types of transformation in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
It's possible for individuals to transform from unpleasant and selfish people to wise and just ones, but only with the help of a powerful outside force. The world itself may be transformed by the mere presence of good into a beautiful paradise instead of a desolate wasteland. Children may be transformed into adults and back in order to fulfill the roles for which they are destined. The dead may be resurrected and the petrified may live again.
Oh yeah; and innocuous-looking wardrobes can transform into portals to magical kingdoms. Can't leave that one out.
