Posted by Willowrose Oct 25th 2007

everyone who can should go!!! Leukaemia research is very important.


Posted by GinnyWPotter Oct 25th 2007

I wish I could go...being an american is so lame. Anyway, Leukemia (thats how we spell it over here) research is very important. My sister is a survivor...it is a underfunded type of cancer and any money to help research this cancer is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you, thank you Potter pals!


Posted by CROOKSHANKS99 Oct 25th 2007

Posted by Sonja Oct 25th 2007

I wish I could go! I didn't know that Doyle had had leukemia.


Posted by theprophecy007 Oct 25th 2007

This is amazing. I always try and help peole with disease's and people that are in poverty so I'm very excited that my favourite books/movies are supporting this too.


Posted by rooon Oct 25th 2007

OMG! Go actors!


Posted by dglaney Oct 25th 2007

I have a friend that was diagnosed with Luekaemia at the young age of 12. The past three years have been a constant struggle, but she's still pushing through. "Music from the Movies" is great, and its good to be reminded that people out there really care.


Posted by MUHAHAHA Oct 25th 2007

i cannot believe he is one of the survivors...........this is really great event, a awesome break from the Dumbledore thing. Get to see the best actors and actresses in Britain.


Posted by britishbelle Oct 25th 2007

I've been raising money in America for Leukemia Research since 2000. I run the Disney half marathon every year for it. I'm so excited that I've moved to London now and have a chance to support the cause here and go to this. I will definitley be looking into getting tickets. :)


Posted by rooon Oct 25th 2007

How much is 10 what evers in America?


Posted by ickle_voldy7 Oct 25th 2007

I think that is really great!!! Kudos to you peeps, I really love what you are doing, especially since my grandpa has Leukemia. I agree with MUHAHAHA, it is a nice break from the Dumbles hype. I wish i couuld go sooo bad.


Posted by member_of_SPEW Oct 25th 2007

Hooray! a positive news post! This is really wonderful! That is a random picture to use. In English, we're listening to a recording of King Lear that has Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson in it. And did you know that Alan Rickman was Scar (in the Lion King)? I didn't until recently. I'm sorry, this is a really random comment.


Posted by Talon1998 Oct 25th 2007

actually member of spew Scar was Jeremy Irons, Britains greatest and one of the most underrated and sexiest actors alive.


Posted by Talon1998 Oct 25th 2007

of course that excludes Sir Ian McKellen who is just an icon and I swear would of made an amazing Dumbly


Posted by rooon Oct 25th 2007

I want to go!


Posted by andycaro Oct 25th 2007

That would be neat to go to:) Cant wait for the blogs about the event:)


Posted by Roonil Oct 26th 2007

Aw I wish I could go. That sounds awesome and good for the HP actors for doing it.


Posted by fanospew Oct 26th 2007

i am sure JK is very proud and pleased. 50 points for these fine actors!!!!


Posted by iheartmugglecast Oct 26th 2007

That's so cool. I hope they raise lots of money! =)


Posted by cutegriffindor Oct 26th 2007

Thats soooo good of them! i know a couple of people who are diaganosed with Leaukaemia. I'm really happy that these stars are making an effort to help them! You know what? we are actually very lucky that we are fans of such great people, Jo bought a retired greyhound, Dan always donates in a charity, and now this. btw, what is it with the poll? its really weird.....well, anyways, GO HP!!!!!!


Posted by i_am_nagini_777 Oct 26th 2007

Posted by Slytherin15 Oct 26th 2007

huh? im confused


Posted by britishbelle Oct 27th 2007

I bought my tickets today!! I'm so excited to get to see all of them, hear some wonderful Doyle songs which I love (not just his HP stuff...loads of it!), and give to a great cause. I give to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society a lot in the US so I'm glad I'm getting the chance to donate tomorrow to this cause in the UK. Also, someone asked a while back how much £10 is in dollars...its just over $20. I bought £15 pound tickets...its a good cause :)
