The Harry Potter Alliance featured in the New York Times as "Wizards of Change!"

thehpalliance:

The New York Times Opinionator posted an article today that talks about the HPA, Andrew Slack, the fans, and how fandom facilitates activism.

There are a few key strategies that make fan activist campaigns like The Harry Potter Alliance successful: invest deeply in the literary themes, prize weirdness, honor the power of cohesive online communities and link to larger organizations that can implement the big ideas of plot-fueled real world advocacy. It’s essential that fans see their own power, or as Slack puts it, “We all yearn to be told we are magical.”

Read the full article here and be sure to comment; let’s show the world just how magical fans are.
