There are a few other reactions that can disrupt a spell. But they will specifically say that they do so.
Superstition Barbarian's Mage Hunter reaction for example.

Core rulebook, attack of opportuniy crit, and stop? The player that play a wizard is happy :)

There are also Reactions like Counterspell that attempt to Counteract the spell, as well as abilities that say they can Disrupt one or more of the spell components. But ultimately, the answer to what stops spells is a lot of specific cases that say they do, not a small number of general cases that it would be reasonable to list.

Somatic and Material spell components both provoke Attacks of Opportunity because they have "Manipulate" as a tag. If the AoO is not a critical hit, you continue to cast.
Also, for the same reason, if you were Grabbed, you need to roll DC 5 flat check (d20 no modifiers) on Somatic or Material components.

Attack of Opportunity, specifically, only Disrupts manipulate actions on a critical hit. So a regular hit does not prevent spells with manipulate components from being finished.
Attack of Opportunity
Trigger A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it’s using.
You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening. Make a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If your attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, you disrupt that action. This Strike doesn’t count toward your multiple attack penalty, and your multiple attack penalty doesn’t apply to this Strike.
Other Reactions that can prevent a spell work differently. Take this one from a Brine Dragon, for example:
Brine Spit
Trigger A creature the brine dragon observes within 30 feet uses a concentrate action;
Effect The dragon spits a glob of caustic salt water at the creature. The creature takes 5d6 acid damage (DC 30 basic Reflex save). On a failure, the concentrate action is disrupted.
In that case, the wizard would lose their spell on a regular failure on their reflex save, not a critical failure.
