Another option is Tumblr. There are a lot of Harry Potter fanfiction writers and readers on Tumblr. They often share their works or recommend others. Some blogs are dedicated solely to curating the best Harry Potter fanfiction. You can search for relevant tags like #HarryPotterFanfiction or specific character names along with 'fanfiction' to find some great reads.
A common trope is the 'alternate universe' idea. In these fanfictions, the wizarding world could have a completely different social structure or history. For instance, if the Death Eaters had won the war before Harry started at Hogwarts. Also, the 'romantic pairings different from the canon' trope is popular. Fans like to explore relationships like Hermione with Draco or Harry with Luna that are not the main focus in the original books.
One common trope is the 'alternate universe' where things are drastically different from the original series, like if Voldemort won the war. Another is the 'character redemption' trope, for example, Draco Malfoy getting a chance to be a good guy in a different way. And there's also the 'romantic pairings' trope, like Hermione ending up with someone other than Ron in some fanfictions.
One possible fanfiction idea could be a crossover where the concepts from 'I am the Bone of my Sword' are merged into the Harry Potter universe. Maybe a character from the Potter world discovers a magical sword with the essence of 'I am the Bone of my Sword' in it. This could lead to new powers and a different kind of adventure for the character.
Maybe it's because the fanfiction offers new and exciting storylines and character developments that expand the Harry Potter universe in ways that capture your imagination.
First, know the source material well. Understand the characters, the magic system, and the world of Harry Potter. Then, come up with a unique plot. It could be a different take on an existing event in the books or a completely new adventure. Also, stay true to the characters' personalities.

The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1. Grindelwald's Favorite I Goed to Hogwarts: Grindelwald's Favorite I Goed to Hogwarts is a refreshing Harry Potter fan novel. The author cleverly combined the original plot with a brand new setting to create a different magical world. In this world, Dumbledore and Grindelwald coexisted, Voldemort disappeared, and Harry and his two children entered Hogwarts in the same year. This setting was not only novel, but it also complemented the original plot, making people feel familiar and fresh. The author's description of the characters and the plot arrangement were very accurate. Only one original female character was slightly flawed, but the author had successfully sidelined her, so she would not pose a threat. Overall, this book had the potential to be a masterpiece. It was a masterpiece among Harry Potter doujinshi.
2."A Collapsed Hogwarts": Not bad Harry Potter doujinshi. He doesn't take the usual path. He has brains, logic, and intelligence. His character creation is also very good.
3."A Professor of the History of Magic at Hogwarts": After leaving Hogwarts for many years, Master Fenister Black never thought that he would one day receive an invitation from the Headmaster of Hogwarts to return to this school and take up the position of Professor of the History of Magic.
Mr. Blake had no objection to this, but some of the little ones might not have it easy.
"Potter, what was your happiest moment in seven years?"
Harry Potter smiled."It was when I found out Sirius was my godfather."
"Then when were you the most unhappy?"
Harry Potter paused, remembering with some horror,"When I found out that Professor Black was Sirius's brother... Merlin, he was a demon!"
Dear Harry Potter will never forget the gloomy Professor's face that had appeared behind him that summer when he had been surprised to see Sirius at number twelve Grimmauld Place.
As well as the paper that didn't have many marks.
And the scene of him and Sirius being scolded together.
4."Hogwarts 'Nature's Messenger": Hope had always thought that he was just an ordinary child with superpowers. Suddenly, he was fooled by the Hogwarts notice brought by the owl. What was even more ridiculous was that his parents had hidden it from him for eleven years. Seeing that his parents had given him a lot of pocket money, the kind Hope chose to forgive him. Gradually, as Hope continued to explore the wizarding world, he realized that his bloodline was not so simple...
5."Original God I Am Slime":"Wendy, hug!"
A fiery red slime flew at an extremely fast speed towards the Wind God who was not doing anything serious.
"Familias, can you be more serious? You're the Fire Demon God."
Wendy revealed a helpless smile and gently picked up the Fire Slime in front of her.
Warm, soft, and malleable. This was the Fire Slime Farmer.
War, fire, Munata, this was the Fire Demon God, Flamas.
6."Harry Potter and the Old Ones": Setting World: Harry Potter Doujinshi
[HP Doujin][Cthulhu Element][No Female Lead]
[Points: (Full marks: 100): 85]
[Single comment: This is the first time I've seen a protagonist who can make Dumbledore's blood pressure so high. Examiner, are you interested?] I have vulgar content?
7:"This kid is here at Hogwarts to take advantage of us again": This book has a lot of potential. The opening materials are all very good, and I guess the outline is not bad either. I hope that it can be maintained and that the later chapters won't collapse. Let's take care of it during the seedling stage. I recommend this book.
8. Hogwarts: My Name Is the Unforgivable Curse: 3/5 The protagonist was an orphan born one year before Harry, and he received a large sum of compensation because of his name. The author added a lot of details to the setting. The first year's events were related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
9."I, Hogwarts Second Month"[Rating:70]
[Constitution:HP]
[Description: Transforming into Owen Sanchez in the HP world. The first chapter is a zzzq world. All the original characters have been modified by zzzq. In the end, when I woke up, I entered the second chapter of the normal process. To be honest, this setting is as pure as not having any gimmicks. Other than the various abstractions described in the beginning of the book, I can't see how this week's goal affects the plot at all. It's inexplicable.]
10:"Hogwarts: You're Not a Dark Wizard": Murphy came to the world of Harry Potter and could not understand the wizard's crooked magic tree. He could already teleport, yet he was still using an owl to deliver a letter? He had already traveled through time, but he still died of old age? They had already become arthropods, but they couldn't fly? And it's already the 20th century. How did a group of people who know magic live poorer than Muggles?
That night, standing on the brightly lit streets of London and looking at the few remaining copper Knuts in his pocket, Murphy made a decision in his heart. To hell with the Wizard Secrets! I want money!
As a result, the Muggle world had countless amazing inventions. Beauty Potion Foundation, Love Potion Perfume, Cloud White Potion…
There were even anti-gravity flying cars, traceless space capsules, and super-light stargates…
Magic had also grown the wings of technology, becoming omnipotent. Flying into the sky, burrowing into the ground, not aging, not dying, and even omniscience, omnipotent…
Murphy: "Give wizards technology, give Muggles magic. Everything is for the greatest benefit!"
Auror: "You say it nicely. You abused the Three Unforgivable Curses, went around stealing things, violated confidentiality laws, infiltrated the Ministry of Magic, took control of Gringotts, and you still say you're not a Dark wizard?"

Chapter 15: Man in the Wizarding World, Guarding Azkaban for a Hundred Years: The young wizard complained,"The glory of magic has been extinguished by scum!"
The Auror seized the young wizard and said fiercely,"It was you, the ignorant bastard, who dared to slander our great savior, the bane of the Dark Lord, the High Lord of Azkaban, the protector of Hogwarts, the man of the Minister of Magic, the dementor king, the wizard legend-Lord Lear?"
"Merlin above, I didn't say which scum!" The young man argued
""You're lying," snarled the Auror."I've been working here for twenty years, and I know which scum destroyed the Wizarding World?"
Hogwarts: The Ancient Male Veela Doesn't Want to Be Headmaster: Ash Black Transmigrated
Good news: The transmigration location is Hogwarts.
Bad news: 100 years to go before Harry Potter
He traveled back to the end of the 19th century when Hogwarts 'Legacy took place. With his omniscient knowledge of the plot and a little help from the game system, Ash Black defeated the final BOSS, Lanlock, in advance. He used Lanlock as a sample to conduct research on' safe and harmless 'ancient magic.
However, an out-of-control experiment led to the greatest disaster in Hogwarts 'history, and Ash Black came to the world a hundred years later...

It depends on various factors. The worthiness in a fan fiction often lies in how well the story captures the essence of the Harry Potter universe and how engaging the plot and characters are.
First, give your character a detailed backstory. Think about their family, where they grew up, and what kind of magical upbringing they had. For example, if they're from a pure - blood family, how has that influenced them? Second, give them unique traits. It could be a strange quirk like being able to talk to portraits in a special way. And finally, make sure their actions and decisions are in line with their character. If they're a shy person, they probably won't be the first to volunteer for a dangerous mission.
In these fanfictions, the focus on defenses allows for unique character development. Characters can show their intelligence and resourcefulness when coming up with new defense strategies. It also adds an element of mystery as new and unknown defenses are discovered. For example, a character might find a long - lost spell for protection, and that can drive the plot in interesting directions. Plus, it ties in well with the overall theme of the battle between good and evil in the Harry Potter world, as good characters need strong defenses against the dark forces.
