Well, that's kind of happening in real life, too. Except this Dumbledore's Army is a registered nonprofit, a team of Harry Potter fans/missionaries that wants to eradicate poverty, illiteracy, and genocide. Seriously? "We are living in dark and difficult times, as Dumbledore says, and we have a choice between what is right and what is easy," says Andrew Slack, the founder of the real-life Dumbledore's Army, also known as the Harry Potter Alliance, which started in 2005 and counts more than 100,000 members across the globe. These Harry Potter-ites live by the motto "the weapon we have is love" (a.k.a., "Love is the most powerful form of magic," Slack says) and wear T shirts with the slogan WHAT WOULD DUMBLEDORE DO? Through blogs and YouTube videos, they've raised more than $15,000 in aid for Darfur and Burma and donated 14,000 books to children in need worldwide.</p> <p>The Harry Potter books might have ended two years ago, but as the Harry Potter Alliance illustrates, its rabid fans aren't going anywhere—they even give the Trekkies a run for their Spock ears. On iTunes and MySpace, there are more than 300 bands who perform a genre of music called "wizard rock"—wrock for short—featuring songs about the books (band names include: Draco and the Malfoys, the Remus Lupins, etc). They hold conventions where members are sorted into Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin) just like in the books. The two popular Harry Potter podcasts, PotterCast and MuggleCast, have turned their hosts into household names in the fan world. But the Harry Potter Alliance is peculiar to the world of fandom, because these people actually think they can use Harry Potter to make a difference in the world.</p> <p>The Harry Potter Alliance's philosophy seeks to extract values from the Potter books (SPOILER ALERT! Good always triumphs over evil. Sorry, Lord Voldemort) and use that as a starting-off point for philanthropy. Slack says he tries to get Potter fans to understand the need for activism by making analogies between the book's plots and current events: wizard newspapers ignore the return of Lord Voldemort, while our media does not give due attention to the genocide in Darfur. Harry's teacher, Remus Lupin, faces social persecution because he is a werewolf, while people in our world are discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation. The Dumbledore doctrine even supports gay marriage, and not just because Dumbledore was gay. "Equal marriage is both moral and essential," says the manifesto, which is posted on the site TheHPAlliance.org.</p> <div class="ad"> <div class="mediumRectangle"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> placeAd2(commercialNode,'bigbox',false,'') </script></div></div> <p>Members of the Harry Potter Alliance, like most Harry Potter fans, share a youthful starry-eyed idealism bordering on childish naiveté. Slack, 29, might as well be the poster child. He speaks quickly, doesn't take a breath between sentences and used to work as a comedy actor. But he sounds more like Dr. Phil than Will Ferrell. "Out of the fire and out of the ashes comes the new world," Slack says, explaining how Dumbledore's pet phoenix can inspire people toward philanthropy. "We can see this as a rebirthing process for our whole way of being."</p> <p>Slack got the idea to start the alliance when he read the books as a volunteer theater teacher for inner-city kids. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brandeis University, he also studied peacemaking in Northern Ireland.
