Sure. One great 'The Other Man Harry Potter Fanfic' is 'The Other Man's Perspective' which delves deep into the thoughts and experiences of a character that is often overlooked in the original series. It offers a fresh take on the wizarding world.
I'm not aware of any official 'Harry Potter' fanfic with such a title.

Some popular characters inserted in Harry Potter fanfic include characters from other fantasy universes like Legolas from 'The Lord of the Rings'. He might be inserted into a story where he teams up with Harry and his friends on a magical adventure.

And sometimes, characters from modern superhero stories like Spider - Man could be inserted, creating a really wild and fun crossover where he swings around the Hogwarts grounds.
Well, a year like no other in Harry Potter fanfic might involve a major time travel element or a complete reimagining of the wizarding world's politics and social structure. It could also be a story where Harry and his friends face an entirely new and unexpected threat.
