In February 2010 , the HPA ran a massive fundraiser to support those in dire need after the tragic event of the Haiti earthquake . Live webcasts were held in which celebrities ( especially those a part of the Harry Potter Fandom ) performed and encouraged viewers to donate money . Donations came through an auction that did not guarantee you the prize . Some items that were up for bid were : a signed set of the Harry Potter books , a guitar signed by actor Tom Felton , handmade earrings from actress Evanna Lynch , and a one thousand word story about whatever the winner wishes it to be written by Maureen Johnson and John Green . The webcasts were rather successful , garnering over $ 125,000 . The original plan of Helping Haiti Heal was to have three plane fulls of aid ( each one dubbed : Harry , Hermione , and Ron ) shipped off to Haiti . As of June the same year , five planes were sent to Haiti , Harry , Hermione , Ron , DFTBA ( Do n't Forget To Be Awesome ) and the last being Dumbledore . On 28 June , there was a livestream video celebrating the landing of Dumbledore . Evanna Lynch was present at the stream and even answered questions asked by fans . Ophelia Dahl , the daughter of the late British author Roald Dahl was also present since she worked with Partners in Health , who the Harry Potter Alliance teamed up with for Helping Haiti Heal
