Harry Potter is one of the literary sagas, and also cinematographic ones, that has marked the most in its time. Both children and adults know it, and perhaps have even seen a few movies. But, as a creative, you should also keep an eye out for Harry Potter typography.
Although there is no official typeface, on the Internet we can find many fonts related to this magical character. AND What we have done has been to compile some of the most representative fonts that can be used in your projects. Get your resource folder ready because here are a few to add.
Harry P.
This typeface It is the oldest that exists and that it was based on the original US book cover by Mary GrandPré. If you look, it's the closest to what you've seen in some of the movies, having the lightning bolt in some of the capital letters, like F, M, N, P, Q, R, T, and Y.
You can have both upper and lower case, as well as numbering (also with the lightning bolt on 1 and 7).
Magic School One
This Harry Potter font can be used for commercial use and is designed by FontMesa. It is a gothic typeface, with a lot of serif, but it really does not have the characteristic that Harry Potter letters usually have, we are talking about the lightning bolt in the P, which is what this letter represents the most.
However, if you take a closer look you will see that it could very well be a font that you would find in wizarding books and on posters (such as in Hogsmeade, the town next to Hogwarts).
That's why we've included it so you can download it.
Have you seen this wizard
If you remember the third movie, or better, the third book, you will know that at one point it says about a poster that asks if you have seen this magician, with the photo of Sirius Black. Well then, Do you want to have that same typography?
On the Internet we can find it and although it is not the typical Harry Potter font, it is related to it because it appears in the film.
You have it in both uppercase and lowercase and also has numbers and symbols. So you should try it because apart from the magical saga, it could be useful for other projects.
Future Time Splitters
This font is 100% free and although it is based on the TimeSplitters series of games, it also we could use it as one of the Harry Potter fonts for the effect their letters create.
Of course, it only contains capital letters, and a few symbols, so it is somewhat more limited when it comes to using it. Still, it can be useful to give a more fantastic look.
Wizard World
Or what is the same, the world of wizards (or magical). It is a very simple font, only in capital letters, but that it will allow you to have a legible handwriting for any project. As for the style, if you notice, it has letters that simulate lightning (like the W), but it can also be worn without those designs.

Another option you have on the Internet is this Harry Potter font that you can download for free. We can tell you about it that it is very similar (or almost the same) as the font that was used for the Harry Potter books, so you will have one that will make the perfect comparison between one and the other.
In the case of capital letters, the lightning bolt is not only in the P, but also the I has it. But no other. What all of them do have are some serifs, that is, ornaments in the letters, some more than others.
It also has lowercase, which tends to have its characteristic shape (for example, g is often slanted, v higher, like r and s). AND with respect to other symbols, this is where it lacks them, since it does not have these. That means that it doesn't have a tilde and you won't be able to write anything with the ñ either (unless you do a trick on both).
Lumos
Another of the magical typefaces most related to Harry Potter is this one, based on the covers of the books in the United States (you already know that there are several versions of covers). In this case it is a more legible and simple letter, which loses the typical P with lightning for a more normal one.
As for the lower case, they look the same as the upper case (except for some that change slightly (such as a or i for example). It does not have ñ but there is numbering and it even has some symbols from the saga such as the flying broom or the golden snitch.
Magic School Two
If we told you about Magic School One before, in this case version two corrects one of the problems that the previous one had: not having lightning. Only, if you don't have it in any letter, now you're going to find that all the letters will have lightning.
This can be a problem with some letters, such as C, which looks like a G, J, which looks like a D, or O, which looks more like a 0.
It has uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbering. And if you're wondering, yes, it's totally free and for commercial use.
It's Scary Now
We now go to the second book, about the chamber of secrets. Surely you remember the message that was written "in blood" on one of the walls of Hogwarts. Well, that typography is the one we bring you because you can also find it.
It only has uppercase letters (because, although it has lowercase letters, they are the same as the others). But you will also have usual symbols to write as well as the tilde and even the letter ñ.
Crimes of Grindelwald
Ok, so it's not exactly a Harry Potter typeface, but it's related to the wizarding world. And it is that this source belongs more to the first film of Fantastic beasts and where to find them.
The letter, with almost equal uppercase and lowercase (change some letters but they will all look like uppercase), also features some striking glyphs, such as a wand.
As you see, Harry Potter typography you can find many. So you only have to take a look at the ones that we have shown you or, if you have any more that we have not named, you can leave it to us in the comments.
