AYRT - Hmm, there is that. The thing about HP that's so good for fandom is that is sort of sketches out this great big world, and leaves almost all of the actual details to the reader's imagination (apart from, of course, the minutiae of Hogwarts). I would say there are a few YA series that have a similar setup, but I don't know how many are quite as... flexible, I guess? as the Potterverse.
I mean, if you want to write semi-original stories set in the Rowling's wizarding world, you can have epic quests in far-off lands, political intrigue, or a rom-com set in a bookshop. All of those will work just fine, and the tone and setting won't clash with the presence of wands and flying broomsticks, because why would they?
But if you want to do the same thing with, say, The Hunger Games world? Um. I guess political intrigue fits right in, but if your characters leave Panem at the start of the story to head off into the wilderness and have adventures, it doesn't feel much like a Hunger Games story anymore. And as for the rom-com... awkward.

I guess that Naruto fills a similar sort of niche, going by some of the similarities between the fandoms, but that's over too, so IDK.
no Boruto doesn't count

This seems like it leads into a): My Little Pony, b): Dungeons and Dragons, or c): the crossover fic Mystara’s Little Ponies.

But this does also get into the point about, as you get older, your standards do get higher

Most dungeons and dragons campaign settings are quite bad, for example
