Bedknobs and Broomsticks, our favorite children's movie where Jessica Fletcher and the father from Mary Poppins team up to fight Nazis with an army of possessed suits of armor from every age of British history, is the narrative home of Emelius Browne, headmaster of a mostly fabricated school of witchcraft. Eglantine Price is enrolled in the school's correspondence course, in the hopes of finding a use for witchcraft in the war effort. When lessons from Mr. Browne stop arriving in the post, Ms. Price (and the three children in her care, London-born refugees from the Blitz) seek him out, only to find that the wise magical practitioner they were looking for is actually a cheap sidewalk charlatan looking for a few bucks from impressionable wannabe spell casters. He had no idea that the spell book he'd stumbled upon contained actual magic.
Mr. Browne ultimately shows his good heart when he joins their search for the vital incantation of Substitutiary Locomotion, and does, eventually, perform one successful spell: transforming himself into a rabbit.
...Did we mention that they fight Nazis? Also that there's a reference to prostitution? We're serious. Try this scene on for size.
