Welcome to the homepage of the Wilfrid Laurier University Chapter of The Harry Potter Alliance! Please join us in the fight against world-suck. The weapon we have is love.

 

TODAY IS THE DAY! If you need help with costume/make-up ideas, come visit our askbox! We’d be glad to help you.

panem-on-fire:

I’ll be doing my best to be available ALL DAY.

So please, don’t hesitate to ask!

For all of you headed to the premiere tonight, get ready to be blown away! I’ve heard nothing but good things about the film so far!

We’ll be at the theatre with the GROW Pledge, tonight, as a part of Hunger is Not a Game! 

But seriously, if you’re looking for costume ideas for the movie tonight, please visit my THG blog for some ideas! :D 

This is my Effie costume for the premiere!

panem-on-fire:

And guys, I realize that blue is not Effie’s signature colour [and I’m really not even sure if she wears blue at all in the books] but the blue dress was all that I could find that was Effie enough when I went costume hunting at my local thrift store, so please just bear with me!

I’d love to know what all of you think.

Here is the full costume [minus the wig]:

Jewelry:

Make-up things:

Bow for around my neck:

Wig:

[This is what it looked like when I bought it — before i Capitolized it!]

[I don;t have a wig stand, so that Lysol container will just have to do for now.]

Headpiece:

Sorry guys. I realize that that was a lot of photos.. I’m just so excited! Please tell me what you think.

I also realized after I was done that my outfit/wig/headpiece is very neo-Marie Antoinette-esque. Me gusta.

This is what I’ll be wearing to The Hunger Games premiere! Can’t wait to get Hunger is Not a Game off the ground!

This is very important that you watch this video. It must go viral. Everyone must know.

In this fandom, sometimes we get chances to put the lessons we’ve learned from our beloved series into action. This is one of those times.

This film is about a man named Joseph Kony. Don’t know who he is? I didn’t either. And that is exactly why I am passing this on.

Joseph Kony is the leader of a rebel army in Uganda called the LRA. This rebel group kidnaps children from their homes all over Uganda, puts guns in their hands, and forces them to become soldiers for no cause at all. He forces them to kill. Sometimes he forces them to even kill their own parents, or to horrible maim and disfigure other children. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWENTY YEARS. Count ‘em. TWENTY. For some of you, that’s longer than you’ve been alive, for others, it spans your whole lifetime.

If this happened here in North America, or in Europe… IT WOULD BE ALL OVER THE NEWS.

WHERE YOU LIVE SHOULD NOT DICTATE WHETHER YOU LIVE.

The ICC [that’s the court that prosecutes war criminals and crimes against humanity] has a list of people whom they wish to arrest and put on trial for their crimes against humanity. Joseph Kony is NUMBER ONE ONE THIS LIST. Do know who else is on that list? People like the tyrant Muammar Gaddafi. They need all the help and support that they can get.

THIS MUST STOP. We have the power to end this war. We have the power, in this electronic/internet fuelled generation to make Joseph Kony famous. Not to celebrate him, but to BRING HIM TO JUSTICE.

WE HAVE A VOICE. AND YOU WILL HEAR US.

Finally, the motto of this blog can be used in such a way that it can change the world.

Watch the video. You will not regret it.

Reblog this post so that EVERYONE can know about what is going on and join the fight to stop this horrific crime from continuing.

For more information, please visit www.kony2012.com.

Also, please share the video on your Facebook page.

Over the next couple of days, I will be posting more information about what you can do to work towards this cause.

Please reblog this! Everyone needs to know about this.
