***Global Petition for International Harry Potter Day***

[shainlakshmi]

There's a huge international effort going on to secure a date to
commemorate the Harry Potter saga. I've already signed and thought I'd
do my part to spread the word .  I'm trying to send this out to as many
HP Discussion Forums as I can.

Each petition signer receives a pixel on a one-million-pixel mural
recognizing their contribution to the cause. Be sure to check your
e-mail within 24hrs of signing to get the coordinates of your personal
pixel.

Goal: 1,000,000 signatures Feb 21st - July 21st.
Whichever country obtains 10,000 signatures gets to have the petition
forwarded to said country's leaders.

Countries represented so far: Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium,
Bolivia, Canada, China, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Croatia,
Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, France,
Finland, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, India, Indonesia, Iran,
Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco,
Norway, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Portugal, Poland, Peru,
Panama, Paraguay, Pakistan, Russia, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Sri Lanka, South Africa, Singapore, Turkey, Taiwan, Tunisia, Trinidad,
United States, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela.


The petition has also garnered media interest, just in case there are
any doubts about the authenticity of it:

In McGonagall's own words, "He'll be famous - a legend - I wouldn't be
surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in future - there will
be books written about Harry - every child in our world will know his
name!"

Let's try to make it come true, shall we? Sign away...I'll try to update
this post every now and then, to keep track of the current tally.

Current Tally: 4364

I'm No.676 on the list . What about you?
