first of all, i don't agree with you about christians hating the chronicles of narnia. don't you see the similarities between the chronicles and christian history?
and to answer your question, the magic in lotr comes from sources of "good", or, as christians see it, god, as opposed to in HP the magic comes from an unknown, sketchy source. the magic in HP can be used for good or evil. but in lotr, "good" magic can only be used for good, and "evil" magic can only be used for bad. eg: the ring of power.

but that's only my perception.
