As most of you probably know, there is a genocide in Darfur (in Sudan, Africa). It has been going on since 2003, and its goal is to exterminate all the blacks living in Darfur. More than 400,000 Darfurians have died in the genocide, and at least another 2.5 million have lost their homes and are now refugees.

Harry Potter fan Andrew Slack has formed the HP Alliance in an effort to have us Harry Potter fans to help end this crisis. Over the next few weeks, the group is organizing a number of Harry Potter house parties around the world.  At these parties Harry Potter fans will gather to talk about Deathly Hallows and what they can do about Darfur. There are a many ways to get involved in this, so just check out the page.

To find out more, visit the HP Alliance’s website, their house party infoarmation page, or their MySpace.

In a new article by BBC news, the author discusses how some booksellers in the UK might break the rules and start selling Deathly Hallows early. 

The final Harry Potter novel could hit shelves before its official release next week. Some shops are not expected to keep a written agreement which prevents them selling the book before 21 July. “It’s quite possible one will break the embargo,” says Katherine Rushton from The Bookseller magazine. “They’d do it to be first, and for all the PR.” The book’s publishers, Bloomsbury, said it had “no reason to believe anyone would want to ruin the excitement”. “If such a thing were to happen, we believe that the public would make their feelings known by not buying it from such a spoilsport retailer.” However, it added, “it is our intention to vigorously enforce the embargo if required”.
