One idea could be an SI (self - insert) who has the power to manipulate time enters the Harry Potter world. They could use their power to prevent certain tragedies, like Sirius's death. Another could be an OC (original character) with the ability to communicate with magical creatures. They team up with Harry and friends to uncover a plot that involves the Forbidden Forest's creatures being used by dark wizards. And an SI who is a master of potions from a different magical world comes to Hogwarts and starts creating new and powerful potions that help in the fight against Voldemort.
Hermione Granger is a great character to include. Her intelligence and love for knowledge can interact in interesting ways with an SI or OC. Harry Potter himself, of course, as he is the central figure in the original series. And Draco Malfoy, his complex personality and family background can create a lot of drama when paired with an SI or OC. For example, an SI who tries to befriend Draco and change his views towards Muggle - borns.
Another good one could be 'A Cadmean Victory'. This fanfiction stands out for its complex character development. The self - inserted character has to navigate the tricky world of Hogwarts and the wider wizarding world, and the story does a great job of showing that journey.
One of the highly regarded Harry Potter OC (Original Character) fanfictions is 'The Life and Times' by Jewels5. It delves deep into the backstory of Lily Evans, creating a rich and engaging narrative that fits well within the Harry Potter universe. The OC elements blend seamlessly with the established lore.
For my Harry Potter mermaid OC fanfiction. There is a mermaid OC named Marina. Marina is a half - mermaid, half - witch. Her mother was a mermaid and her father was a wizard who disappeared long ago. She has been living in the lake near Hogwarts all her life. One time, when the Triwizard Tournament was taking place, and the second task involved the lake. Marina noticed the chaos. She decided to help Harry Potter find his way in the lake as she could sense his good heart. She guided him to his goal, using her mermaid powers and knowledge of the lake's secrets. After that, Harry was very grateful and often visited the lake to talk to Marina.
First, you need a unique and interesting character concept for your OC. Think about their background, personality, and magical abilities. Then, fit them into the world of Harry Potter while respecting the existing lore and characters.
A good Harry Potter OC fanfiction usually has a well - thought - out backstory for the OC. This could include their family history, how they discovered their magic, and what their goals are. The plot should be engaging and flow well. It should also respect the lore of the Harry Potter universe. If it's a Hogwarts - set story, it should follow the rules of the school, like the house system and the classes. The OC should also interact realistically with the canon characters, for example, having believable conversations with Hermione about magic studies or with Ron about Quidditch.
I really like 'A New Beginning in Hogwarts'. The male OC in this fic is from a different magical culture, and when he arrives at Hogwarts, he brings in fresh perspectives. The story is full of adventure as he tries to adapt to the Hogwarts way of life while also hiding his own secrets.

One great 'fem Harry Potter and oc fanfiction' is 'The Girl Who Lived'. It offers a fresh take on the Harry Potter universe with a female Harry.

It also has well - developed original characters that interact interestingly with the existing Potterverse characters.
