Lord of the Rings. - A muddled message.

Chronicles of Narnia. - Better but still weak.

Hans Christian Anderson. - Useful, in that children are taught that there are real dangers in the world and that evil is evil but they tend to be overly moralistic - in a simplistic way.

But can you see the difference between magic as a plot device and “real world” stories glorifying the occult?

Hmmm. Some of the HCA stories have witches in them, don't they? Otherwise, they kinda sounds like the Harry Potter stories.
