Harry Potter series of novel books often use non-standard font typefaces, often decorated with lightning bolt or star and have a magical look. When you write about Harry Potter on blog, set up Happy Potter fan site, design Harry Porter creatives, images, illustrations, crafts or simply just want to write a mystical and mysterious message using the same style of characters and letters with the one shown on the released books, you have to download and install extra HP fonts. Here’s a few popular Happy Potter fonts that created by fans available for free download and use, so you no need a font generator or maker to create one yourself.
Lumos
A popular Harry Potter freeware font based on probably promotional cover of US edition HP7. The actual font used on the cover is actually Ablefont by Marcus Burlile, but both of them are pretty similar anyway. Lumos only supports capital letter.
