The font that Harry Potter was written in is not the same font that the Harry Potter Logo is in. The books were written in “Garamond”, but this article is going to cover the font from the logos, movie posters, and book covers. There is no official font for the movie titles but there are a few fonts that have been made to resemble the movie title, such as Harry P and Parry Hotter font, Unfortunately, Google Docs doesn’t offer those 2 fonts and doesn’t allow you to import custom fonts.
