The Crouch Family
As far as I know, Barty Crouch Sr, Barty Crouch Jr, and Mrs. Crouch don’t have any Wizard Rock bands named after them. The story of their family is tragic and I think that Mrs. Crouch’s story: dying alone in Azkaban to allow her Death Eater son who her husband sentenced to life imprisonment is [...]

Let's Wake 'Em Up!
I really want to be laughing right now. I don’t want to be making posts about how the Pentagon planted experts to lie to the American people (see below post) or about how President Bush is not following through with the Sudan Accountability Act. I was so excited when President Bush agreed to this last [...]

Iorek Byrnison Would Support Polar Bears
I think if Iorek Byrnison from The Golden Compass, ever met our beloved Rebeus Hagrid, they would make terrific friends. How could Hagrid not like a giant, loyal,and ferocious beast like Iorek? And how could Hagrid not have been outraged when Iorek and his kingdom of armored bears were forced from their home due to [...]

The Giant Squid is Giant
Sorry Ron. This giant squid didn’t eat Viktor Krum: “they saw Viktor Krum…(as he) dived, right into the lake…’..there’s still the giant squid,’ said Ron. He didn’t sound anxious–if any thing, he sounded hopeful” (Goblet of Fire 444). Then again, post-snogging with Hermione in the middle of the Battle of Hogwarts/marrying her and having Hugo [...]

Real World Quidditch
I was at a hockey game a couple of years ago with my girl friend. As someone who doesn’t attend many sporting events I was overwhelmed by the size of the crowd and the game itself wasn’t easy for me to follow or even take much interest in. But then my girl friend started explaining [...]

A Day of Silence To End The Silence
Dumbledore was gay. Most of us realized that his being gay does not change him in the least. In fact, all it does is help us better understand his tormented relationship with Grindewald. But what about the experience of being silenced for being gay? What about the experience of living in a closet because of [...]

Harry Potter and The Inconvenient Truth
Happy Earth Day! In June 2006 I put out the first ever HPA blog post. It was on Global Warming. Harry and the Potters reposted it, putting the HPA on the map but Global Warming is even more dangerous today than it was two years ago. A Voldemort that is growing stronger with each and [...]

BREAKING NEWS: On Tuesday the HP Alliance put out a challenge for 1,000 Harry Potter to sign a petition to prosecute those guilty of war crimes against children in Darfur at http://wantedforwarcrimes.org/hpa by June 1.
