Wizards rock!
The Oklahoma Wizards League (OWL), in conjunction with Oklahoma City University Department of English and the Omega Phi chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, will host its Mistletoe Masquerade, a wizard rock Yule Ball to benefit The Harry Potter Alliance and the Genocide Intervention Network, Jan. 17 in the Grand Ballroom on the campus of Oklahoma City University.
The Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) is a nonprofit organization that seeks to motivate young people to political and social action by relating the events of the popular book series Harry Potter to events in the real world. It’s a “Dumbledore’s Army for the Real World,” raising awareness about genocide, poverty, AIDS and global warming and fighting discrimination on the basis of sexuality, race, class, religion, gender and ethnicity. More information about The Harry Potter Alliance can be found at www.thehpalliance.org.
OWL, a local HPA chapter, has booked seven popular wizard rock bands – including The Whomping Willows, Oliver Boyd & The Remembralls, and The Remus Lupins – to play a benefit concert. Tickets are $35 for adults, $15 for children, and can be purchased from the O.W.L. Web site. Attendees can also bid on items in the Muffliato Auction, a silent auction featuring autographed band merchandise, books, Hogwarts house-themed gift baskets and more.
The event will start at 5 p.m. The show is for all ages, so attendees can bring their younger sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews and/or kids, although some songs have adult themes. Refreshments will be served.
Oklahoma Wizards League is a Harry Potter meet-up group and Harry Potter Alliance chapter devoted to fighting the “Dark Arts” in the real world. Their motto is “The weapon we have is love.” More about O.W.L. can be found at http://www.okwizards.com/.
