I am not particularly adventurous when it comes to third party content, so the stuff I want are from people who work closely with Wizards.
Critical Role: Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Assault on Armaros Station Morgrave Miscellany Exploring Eberron Chronicles of Eberron Dread Metrol: Into the Mists Eberron Confidential Curtain Call: A Sharn Adventure Trust No One Magic Sword: An Eberron Story Seed
Well, have we got good news for you on that first one!
The one we got is Taldorei Campaign Setting Reborn, which I already bought on here. I also want Critical Role: Taldorei Campaign Setting, the older book. They have similar content, but they are different books.
Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn is the revised/updated/republished version of Critical Role: Taldorei Campaign Setting. The former contains all the same content as the latter, although some stuff (such as Way of the Cobalt Soul) has been significantly updated. The latter isn't published anymore; it was published by Green Ronin who doesn't have the rights anymore. That book functionally no longer exists, having been replaced by the Reborn version published by Darrington Press.
I would still like access to the older "Legacy" stuff, just to have more options. Although I guess that is not possible anymore.
All the same options are in the Campaign Setting book as there are in the Reborn book. They're not different books, Reborn is an expanded reprint

You can still buy the older book, they are not inexpensive but they can be found for sale pretty easily. That is what happens with popular and or good items that are no longer produced and sometimes it is just the fact that it is no longer in production (scarcity).
A Harry Potter content could work as well. Hypothetically we would get:
A Hippogriff monster (like buckbeak)
Dimentor Monster
New Race: Half-Giant
New Spells based on Harry Potter spells
A new campaign
Potentially a new Class
Overall, a Harry Potter content DLC would work in my opinion
None of this is third party content however. The OP is referring to books already published by third parties (such as Ghostfire Gaming or Darrington Press) for D&D fifth edition, not for a new content wishlist. Let's keep things on topic please
I am super happy to see 3rd party content make it to dnd beyond. It’s a win for everyone. The authors get more sales, WOTC gets more money, and we get to more easily use 3rd party stuff in the dnd beyond system. I am loving this.
I don’t know if there is an official way to request/suggest other 3rd party content to be added. So let’s have an unofficial one. I personally would LOVE to see Steinhardt’s Guide to the Eldritch Hunt. I’d gladly pay for that book again. It’s nearly 500 pages of eldritch goodness. I can’t wait to get the physical book.
let’s keep it positive, folks. There’s more than enough negativity going around already.
I love Steinhardt’s Guide to the Eldritch Hunt! I really want to get that as a official book!

It won't be an "official" book. Some of the takes and comments on this thread lead me to believe a number of folks are misunderstanding what DDB's introduction of Third Party Content means. The concern may sound pedantic, but such takes and comments are often scooped by lazy poorly informed TTRPG journalism leading to articles causing further confusion in D&D discussion spaces.
Third Party literally means unofficial. WotC's D&D studio did not make it. As stated above, the inclusion of Darrington Press and Ghostfire Gaming titles in the DDB marketplace is simply mutually beneficial business. The third party presses have the benefit of being, currently, the only two third party publishers with content available for sale on DDB. And DDB gives players some new options for sale beyond "official D&D" for the portion of their market who've been clamoring for third party content in the marketplace for years. The presence of the content does not give anyone license to use that content to challenge "official D&D" rules where the third party content deviates, nor presumably does it grant DMs Guild Designers the right to use these third party's content in their DMs Guild work (unlike almost the entirety of official D&D which can be used in DMs Guild). Adventurers' League (WotC's organized play platform) is not going to adapt it's restrictions to accommodate these (it defeats the purpose of promoting WotC's officially supported D&D). Etc.
But there's a D&D Beyond Logo on the third party books in the marketplace! That only means D&D Beyond either did the work, or had a significant role in facilitating the work of getting the third party title online to DDB. Roll20 and the other VTT's do this in their shops too.
DDB experimenting with a few third party titles in their marketplace is exciting, and I hope this means they're experimenting to make the future of DDB-centered D&D less of the "walled garden" many critics of the online side of One D&D purported direction have derided. That said, let's try to be accurate as to what's actually going on.
More on topic, along with Humblewood, I could see Hit Points' edition of Griffon's Saddlebags being very popular if it were available, but Griffon is another designer who at least during the heat of the OGL mess had some really hot takes and I don't know if he's walked any of that back. On top of his patreon work, he's I think midway into a Saddlebags Vol 2. He would be an interesting experiment in piecemeal sales, if Griffon were incline to participate, as he's one of those Patreon-based designers who puts out individual items, though maybe the volume such designers put out would be hard for the marketplace to manage.

TL;dr: We have Strixhaven for a reason.
Ironically WotC had at one point the rights to (and did) put out a Harry Potter CCG. For Harry Potter / Wizarding World content to appear on DDB, either WotC would have to negotiate a license and let the D&D Design studio do it; or someone would have to secure the rights to produce Harry Potter ttrpg material, and write them as 3rd Party D&D accessories. But then it would be problematic because I don't think the powers that be that manage the Harry Potter Brand(tm) would want Harry Potter to mix with the D&D Brand through a 3rd party design studio. And that's just using the words and ideas for Harry Potter, when folks have these sorts of licenses things writing, art, etc. often have to be approved by the Brand's managers, particularly with big properties like HP. And _then_ that publisher would likely have to seek further permission for translating all that into a DDB edition (which may be muddied by whatever relationships WotC may have with HP's brand management industrial complex, which likely includes Warner Brothers). There are a few gaming studios with experience and expertise in making licensed works, but Harry Potter would be a really messy brand in terms of stakeholders, and not even getting into the present cultural politics problems the brand faces because of Rowling.
Two possibilities for other properties that may be interesting, but would also be complicated. Free League publishing has a lot of experience with varying middle to big tier licensed IP: Tales from the Loop, Bladerunner, Alien, and just came out (in print, PDFs been around for a while at least for backers) with Walking Dead ... a game that's supposed to provide support not just for the old show but support concurrent with shows currently being aired as well as going into production. They also have TTRPG rights to Lord of the Rings, and produced The One Ring Role Playing Game with its own well received rules system and product line. A couple of years back, after some success with adapting at least of its other games to to 5e (Symbarium), they adapted One Ring into The Lord of the Rings Role Playing for 5e, which seems a successful game to date. I think it would be a complicated negotiation, but Free League partnering with WotC to get TLOTRRPG on DDB would be interesting and a "big deal." Free League is also on a different scale than Darrington or Ghost Fire, so yeah further complications.
The other possibility is the recently announced Stormlight Archive TTRPG being put out by Brotherwise. It's supposed to be it's own system but based one "that contains elements that most players will find familiar." When I see that, I often see it as industry code for very D&D Adjacent, and the design team does have people with some considerable D&D experience (either directly with WotC products or popular 3rd party releases). It's entirely possible if the game is successful, they have the team already in place to do what Free League did and adapt their game to 5e and negotiate to get that on DDB. But that's putting the cart ahead of the horse, not as far as seeing something like HP on DDB, but further than the possibility of LOTR (though I got a feeling the likelihood may be wobbly to low with that one, but I also like surprises).

It says right in the source you link "unofficial." That's why it's dumped on DMBinder for free. This is the sort of thing that exists to make in private homebrew and couldn't be published to the public homebrew because of the IP line being crossed. There simply is not going to be a flood of content on DDB from DMBinder, the Homebrewery, etc. on the Marketplace. For 3rd Party material, think in terms of established publishers with some degree of commercial or critical success with their products.

As a general rule, third party content is content for D&D fifth edition published by a third party.
First Party - Wizards of the Coast - Content made by Wizards D&D team and officially released is official content
Second Party - The people who play the game and for whom Wizards makes official content for - Content made by players for their own game, or shared with others, is considered homebrew
Third party - Publishers/organisations/companies/etc that made D&D content for the second party (people who play the game) but aren't Wizards of the Coast - This is called third party publications because they are a third party outside of the game creator/game player dynamic.
All the same options are in the Campaign Setting book as there are in the Reborn book. They're not different books, Reborn is an expanded reprint

MCDM: EVERYTHING
Valda's Spire of Secrets
Anything that gives access to new player races like Kobold press.
Food, Scifi/fantasy, anime, DND 5E and OSR geek.
All the MCDM stuff, though I don't know if they want to be bothered since they don't seem to have plans to make any 5e content going forward.
Seeing that a Grim Hollow book was added it would be wonderful if the Palyers Guide Book and Campaign Guid book could be added as 3rd party content!
