Her only moral message is tolerance.and we certainly can't have *that*. The difference is that the Chronicles of Narnia were written by a darling of Christian literature and their author has stated that he meant to illustrate Christian themes, while the Harry books are written by a *nobody*, who professes no religious affiliation, and who refuses to have her work used to promote any particular religious faith.
