02 / The lettering, and your questions
01
What font does Harry Potter use?
The title, with its lightning-bolt P, is lettering drawn for the covers and the film posters, not a typeface. Source: 1000 Logos
For licensed products the films’ studio had typefaces of its own made in 2000; they are proprietary. Source: Fonts In Use
02
Is the Harry Potter font free?
No. The title is lettering, not a font. Fan-made copies are around, but most are free for personal use only, and copying a logo can break trademark law whatever a font’s licence says. The fonts on this page are free, free for commercial use too, under open licences.
03
How do I use these fonts in Canva?
Search Canva’s font menu for the font’s name: Canva publishes no list of its fonts, so the menu is the only way to know. If it isn’t there, Canva Pro and Teams can upload a font file: get it from the font’s page here.
On the free plan, make a PNG of your words in the font generator and upload it as an image.
04
And in Cricut Design Space?
Install the font on your computer from its page here: Design Space lists the fonts on your computer as system fonts. Or type your words in the font generator and download the SVG: its letters come welded, to cut in one piece. More in Cricut fonts.
05
Can I use them on things I sell?
The fonts, yes: every font on this page is under an open licence that allows commercial use, on shirts, signs, cards and logos. But Harry Potter and its logo are someone else’s trademarks: a design that copies the logo or uses the name can still need the owner’s permission. This is a plain answer, not legal advice.
