Author JK Rowling's themes of fighting evil and injustice in the Harry Potter books has struck a chord among its young fans. The HP phenomenon has spilled over into the arena of youth activism. The HPAlliance was founded by Harry Potter fan Andrew Slack to generate awareness of social issues and encourage involvement. From Veritaserum: This July the group is organizing house parties around the world to discuss not just "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", but the genocide in Darfur. It sounds kinda quirky but the situation in Sudan deserves all the attention it can get. This quest for social justice would make Hermione proud.
