The difference is that one realm is written by C.S. Lewis (Narnia) and the other by Tolkien (LotR)....They both have very different creations... only SOME creations are similar and that's due to Lewis stealing Tolkien's work then getting it published faster....

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit first (in the 1930s, released in 1937). He wrote The Lord of the Rings between 1937 and 1950, and was published in 1954/5; he started work on The Lord of the Rings after The Hobbit was published.He had actually written the stories that make up The Silmarillion even earlier, while recovering in a hospital during world war 1 from combat wounds. But while many parts of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings stories refer to events in The Silmarillion, Tolkien never felt those stories were finished and was always reediting them throughout his life, so he never made a serious attempt to get them published himself.
