I believe Finwe got that one as well as it can be gotten.

Yes, Gandalf and Saruman (LotR's premier wizards) do plenty of magic, they don't use magic at a constant rate, like the characters of Harry Potter who have some strange-sounding incantation for every occasion. Saruman has no magical lightning blasts that fly from his fingertips on command (well, not technically), he is a conniving old man with a lot if raw evil. Gandalf has used magic on many occasions, but he is more the loyal and noble friend and advisor, always with the right words and no-how.

C.S. Lewis, in my opinion, is widely accepted by Christianity as far as I knew. It is frowned upon slightly because of over-wrought Christ metaphors but is not rejected in any way by the Christians I know or know of. There is a lot of religious symbolism in those books, which causes the Narnia series to be studied by many varying faith Christians.
