Harry Potter Fonts

http://www.hellopapermoon.com/p/why-dont-ya-get-to-know-me-little.html

As a fan of the Harry Potter books and movies I thought this was interesting. Apparently you can't write anything relating to magic without a scripity serif-y font with lots of artsy flourish.

The "Harry P" title font for Harry Potter is simple but contains design elements which are inspried by the story. The bar in the "H"looks like a wand or a broomstick. The "P" has jagged lightning to represent the red lightning scar on Harry Potter's forehead which is connected to to overall theme of the books.

"Wizarads Magic" is the swirly font used for the Wizard of Oz.

"Lumos" is the font used in the chapter headsing in the books  which is serif font that with varied wieght in the lettering.

"A Charming Font" is associated with the WB show "Charmed" Which looks like candles and witchcraft and ghostly shapes.

"Blackadder"is genuinely from the Blackadder TV show starring Rowan Atkinson.

"Magic School" is the font used in a lot of the products especially those associated with Hogwarts.
