Harry Potter is one particular version of a set of fantasy worlds which start with the normal earth as we know it, but then open a door (sometimes literally) to another world attached to this one, or underneath it, or otherwise hidden from most people!.
They can be of any character!.
From Alice in Wonderland or the Looking Glass, or Narnia to
Gaiman's "Neverwhere" (The London under London)
Simon R Green has a different hidden London in his "Nightside" books, but a character does actually go through the wrong door in his "Drinking Midnight Wine" to discover the other reality in an ancient provincial town!.
Roger Zelazny's "Nine Princes in Amber" and sequels!.
Gaiman' collaboration with Terry Pratchett about the end of the world "Good Omens" doesn't leave the world as they do, but shows it to be different than most people know!.!.!.
Tim Powers "Last Call" on the mythology and the power of cards (and what's really going on in Las Vegas)

Staying with Earth, there are a range of "alternate history" fantasies,
following what our world might have been like, if!.!.!.
From "P K Dick's "The Man in the High Castle" where the Germans had won WW2, to others where the Roman empire never fell, or magic being more real, or Harry Harrison's "A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!." where America never split from Great Britain, and Victorian values and society survive with the first atomic powered steam train!.
The fantasies of Earth's history if magic was more real: Kng Arthur, for example from "The once and future King" to "The Drawing of the Dark"

Handreds of secret and alternate Earths!.!.!.

And then there's going "off planet"
The Dragons of Earthsea, (LeGuin) or of Pern (McCaffrey)
Tery Pratchett's Discworld, which is flat, and does stand on four elephants standing on a giant turtle!.!.!. His magic, and elves and dwarves and dragons are not "standard issue"!. Especially the elves!?
So many alternate planets!.!.!.
Dying, thriving, at war!.!.!.

Creatures abound, and there isn't one take on any of them!.
What's become the genre vampire is almost boring!.
Tim Powers' "The Stress of Her Regard" is a very different vampire novel except Anne Rice fans might not regard it as a vampire novel at all!.
The magic in Sheri Tepper's "The True Game" has a logic and a rationale of it's own!. It's almost as far from Hary Potter as you can get!.
(though that's also about a young boy discovering he's not quite what he thought: a common "quest" plot, from Star Wars to Edding's "The Belgariad"!)

I've read fantasy (and Science Fiction) for over forty years and I haven't run out of worlds yet, but I do hit ones that are mere pale copies of richer, older books!.

Witches and wizards (Unless you count them as magic!.!.!.I guess a lot comes under that really), demons/warlocks and elves

If you have ever seen Charmed on TV or read the books then that gives a lot of creatures and worlds!. Vampires, demons, witches, parallel universes, underworld and so on
