Mugabe

A commenter on this blog recently asked that the HP Alliance focus more on Burma and Zimbabwe. While we have more to do in addressing what’s going on in Burma, for a minute I want to point out that the events in Zimbabwe right now are horrible. Their so-called president, Robert Mugabe has quite literally [...]

How's Stan Shunpike?

The Ministry’s reasons for locking up Stan Shunpike were completely unfounded. A commenter on this blog said that it turns out that Stan was a Death Eater any way. I don’t think that’s actually true. Stan was unjustly sentenced to Azkaban. When the Death Eaters freed him they put him under the Imperius Curse. In [...]

Today happens to be the UN’s [...]

Government Scrimgeour

It seems that there is more and more evidence of certain authorities in the US government fully understanding that some of the people they had locked away in Guantanamo Bay (without trial mind you) were innocent. All, I imagine, so people would feel like we were winning a war – you know lifting morale. This [...]

Religious Tolerance

JKR has reminded us that in many ways Harry Potter is a treatise on tolerance. I am happy to read today this: “Although a majority of Americans say religion is very important to them, nearly three-quarters of them say they believe that many faiths besides their own can lead to salvation, according to a survey [...]

Real Life Story of a Sirius Black

There are those in what I like to call the Vernon Dursley Alliance who don’t like that the Harry Potter Alliance has taken a stand against prisoner abuse in Guantanamo Bay. Dedicated to the preservation of the STATUS QUO, NORMALCY, and MEN WITHOUT NECKS the Vernon Dursley Alliance doesn’t believe that any individual or group [...]
