What Would Dumbledore Do?

Hello fellow Wizard Activists! Ready for another amazing project? Us too! At LeakyCon, the HPA is going to be launching a new project: “What Would Dumbledore Do?”

We’re starting something awesome, something of epic proportions. As you all know (SPOILER WARNING), our favorite headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, dies at the end of Half Blood Prince. With the film version of the book coming up to premier its debut on July 15th, we thought it would be an amazing opportunity to reflect on everything Albus Dumbledore has taught us over the years. This project will be one to commemorate a man that has taught us countless lessons in life and beyond.

In the honor of Dumbledore, we’re asking people to create artwork expressing how Dumbledore has affected their lives and the lessons that he has taught them (either hand drawn or computer drawn would be fine!).

During LeakyCon, people will be able to decorate 3 x 5 index cards with the lessons that Dumbledore has taught them We’re then going to put all of the artwork online in a photo gallery on the Ning.

If you’re at home this weekend, you can help us get the gallery started right now by creating your own artwork about Dumbledore! Here’s what to do:

1) Create a piece of visual art that tells us what Dumbledore has taught you.

2) Upload your artwork (or a scanned copy of your artwork) to the Common Room

3) Your artwork will be added to the “What Would Dumbledore Do?” photo gallery. Take a look at other peoples’ artwork and comment!

There will be a lot more information coming soon! So stay tuned and spread the word! Please remember fellow wizards activists, be creative! Through this amazing project we can keep Dumbledore’s memory alive. We can’t wait to see the outstanding artwork that everyone will create!
