Hello Paper Moon: Enchanting and Magical Harry Potter Fonts. I have been getting a lot of emails and comments about my Harry Potter projects, like the Hogwarts Acceptance Letter and the Harry Potter Spell Book. So, I thought I would make a post about the fonts I used and some other fonts that could be used. Here I used two different fonts. The section that says Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Headmaster: Abus Dumbledore is using Lumos in all caps.

The section underneath is using Magik, which I found through Muggle.net which has even more fonts to check out. For the bulk of the acceptance letter I used Magik, but Professor McGonagall's signature I used Windsong. For the envelope to the acceptance letter I used Hogwarts Wizardaccept for the word under. Now for the spell book. Here I used Aquiline, but as I was rounding up all my fonts, I found this Aquiline Two, that might work even better. For the word "Spells" I used Ruritanina, but realistically you could use any font. Textures library - free surfaces for 3ds Max, LightWave - StumbleUpon.
