This free plugin works in Photoshop CC for both Windows and Mac with a plugin for Sketch planned in the near future. With Fontea you get one-click access to the full library of all Google Fonts right from the palette window.

With this plugin you can preview each font on different type layers to see how it looks. You can also favorite the fonts you like most and run filters based on font type (serif, calligraphic, etc) or do a search by font name.

Fontea was created by Source which has released dozens of other plugins over the past few years. Many of them cost money but they also have a nice selection of totally free plugins, Fontea being one of them.

Many people that use Google Webfonts are designers or developers who want more font choices that can run in all browsers. Since designers want to create realistic mockups they’ll often download dozens of fonts from Google just to see how they look in a mockup.

With Fontea you get all 800+ fonts in Google’s library without downloading anything more than a single plugin. You can test and compare different fonts and update multiple type layers at the same time.

For a completely free plugin this thing really packs a punch. I’m excitedly awaiting the Fontea Sketch release which should be out sometime soon. But if you’re a Photoshop CC user and you want quick access to Google Webfonts then Fontea is the best tool for the job.

The Harry Potter Studio Tour Will Temporarily Open the Dursley House This Summer

by Ethan Anderton

Harry Potter Tour Dursley House set

For any Harry Potter fans who happen to be in London this summer, we have good news if you happen to be visiting the Warner Bros. Studio Tour to check out the sets of your favorite fantasy film series. In honor of the 15th anniversary of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, for a limited time the studio tour will allow fans to step foot inside Number Four, Privet Drive, the house where Harry grew up with his terrible relatives, the Dursley family. Find out when you’ll be able to tour the Dursley household after the jump.

Pottermore has announced that Number Four, Privet Drive will be open for fans from Friday, May 27th through Monday June 6th. The Harry Potter Tour Dursley House set is always on display from the outside, but allowing fans inside the house doesn’t normally happen. Of course, stepping inside a normal house doesn’t sound all that thrilling, but the studio tour will be making it a little more special.

There will be hundreds of letters from Hogwarts suspended in the air when you step inside the house, recreating the scene from the first film when all the letters fill the house and fly through the air. Also on set will be the mechanism that was used to shoot out around 10,000 letters through the house. In addition, the Dursleys costumes will be on display for you to sneer at.

Here’s hoping that there’s a chance for fans to take a picture inside Harry’s miserable cupboard under the stairs. As long as Aunt Marge doesn’t show up, it should be a pretty enjoyable visit.

VOTD: Peter Sciretta Breaks Down the ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Teaser at Celebration

by Russ Fischer

Peter Sciretta Star Wars

Yesterday, just after the premiere of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer, our own Peter Sciretta was invited by StarWars.com to join a few other folks in a breakdown of the new teaser on the Star Wars Celebration livestream. Along with Peter were Eric Vespe of Ain’t It Cool News, Bryan Young of Big Shiny Robot, and Devin Faraci of Badass Digest. We ran a photo breakdown of the trailer, but to complement that, you can check out Peter’s video conversation below.

Note: We thought we might be able to embed a specific breakout featuring just this segment, but instead here’s yesterday’s livestream video, cued up to the proper spot. In the event the embed below doesn’t cue up properly, the conversation starts at the 1:37:39 mark.

Note too that this was only this crew’s second time viewing the trailer after the premiere in the big Celebration hall, so this was their first chance, streamed live, to dig in.

Star Wars Celebration is ongoing through this coming Sunday. You can keep an eye on the live feed via our regularly updated post.

Haley Joel Osment Ate the Kid from 'The Sixth Sense'

by Dustin Rowles

Pictures from Kevin Smith's currently filming Yoga Hosers, with Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp's daughter, and Kevin Smith's daughter, seem to suggest that Haley Joel Osment has put on an enormous amount of weight.

However, I am pretty sure that's just mostly prosthetic make up, regardless of what The Daily Mirror suggests. (The moustache, however, is probably and unfortunately very real). Save for adorably chubby cheeks, he looks fairly normal for a 26 year old in the promos for Tusk, and since Yoga Hosers is being filmed essentially back-to-back with Tusk, it seems unlikely that Haley Joel Osment actually put on 200 pounds in between films.

But, having listened to a podcast with Haley Joel Osment recently, and another podcast from Kevin Smith in which he discussed Yoga Hosers at length (it's not what you think it is), I'm actually pretty excited about it, plus Tusk. In fact, Hosers is something of a spin-off of Tusk, featuring the same cast, but centered on anti-American Canadian teenagers played by Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp.

I give Kevin Smith a lot of grief, but to be honest, with the exception of Cop Out, I always end up appreciating his movies. Tusk likely won't be an exception.
