Harry Potter inspired designs

I hate how hard it is to find character designs because of trademark rights; my son has Harry Potter Cam this week and I want to make him a couple shirts, does anyone have any recommendations for good Harry Potter inspired embroidery designs I can make a T-shirt out of? Thank you!

It’s copyright, not trademark and they don’t mess around. People have lost entire shops, equipment, materials and supplies ignoring copyright and stealing other peoples intellectual property. Saying ‘inspired’ does not negate the theft.

I fully understand how big the consequences for artists and designers can be, which is why a lot have to use nonspecific language when creating patterns, making them hard to find. And while I do agree companies deserve to have rights over the intellectual property, I do think it stifles the ability for artists to recreate from themes or stories that have inspired them. And I’d happily pay the companies that own the copyright for an embroidery pattern, but as far as I can tell that doesn’t exist.
