No. Not only is the .22 magnum more powerful, it is longer, and LARGER in diameter. It will not chamber in a .22 LR firearm. There are a few revolvers that aremade with 2 different cylinders- one in 22 LR, one in 22 Mag, that can be swapped- but the cartridges themselves cannot be used interchangeably.

A .22 Long Rifles actual bullet is smaller than a magnum,not to mention the case diameter.So you wont be able to chamber a .22 Mag in a .22 LR...A .22 LR will chamber in a .22 Mag but due to the case diameter it will possibly split(possibly injuring the person shooting the gun,or damaging the firearm),and the bullet rattles around for about 3" in most gun barrels before it stabilizes,causing leading,premature barrel wear,and loss of accuracy...Dont Try It!!!
