Dumbledor is a free Gothic and Celtic display font by GemFonts, released in 2001. It is named after the Hogwarts headmaster, but it is not the official Harry Potter logo font. If you want the movie title look, Harry P is the closest recreation, and the Dumbledor family suits wizard-themed posters and invitations.
About the Dumbledor font
Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books. The Dumbledor font borrows the name, spelled without the final e, and it has a medieval, fantasy feel. The family was published by GemFonts, also credited as Typotheticals, and listings on sites like FontSpace and Fonts4Free describe it as free for personal and commercial use.
The family has 30 styles split into three groups: Dumbledor 1, Dumbledor 2 and Dumbledor 3. They vary in width, weight, slant, outline, shadow and cut, and each group has italic and reverse italic versions. Letters mix straight lines with curves and carry small dots, stars and circles. Dumbledor 1 Thin is narrow and light. Dumbledor 3 Wide is heavy and wide. The set covers 218 characters per style.
The real Harry Potter logo font
The Harry Potter film logo is its own lettering, inspired by Mary GrandPré’s book cover art. Harry P is the earliest and best-known recreation of that logo, according to Harry Potter Fan Zone. Lumos, a font inspired by chapter titles in the US book editions, is another popular fan choice. Both appear in the list below.
