“Harry Potter” Retailer Dresses Up as Dobby for LGBTQ+ Rowing Fundraiser

Dobby is free, and he is rowing. Well, it is really the shop owner of Oliver’s Brighton, Oliver Dall, who is behind the house-elf mask. Dall has previously done charity challenges. This year, he is rowing for donations in Brighton, England, to raise money to support the local LGBTQ+ community and the HIV-positive community. The fundraiser will take place on June 27, and Dall is planning to match every penny donated with each valiant pull.

 

 

 

Oliver’s Brighton is a shop on Trafalgar Street, Brighton that mainly sells Harry Potter merchandise. Dall will complete the charity challenge dressed as Dobby the house-elf. All this is in order to support the LGBTQ+ community during this year’s Pride Month: “We like to do at least one or two fundraisers in the community a year,” Dall told a local newspaper.

Rather than only change our logo and say we support Pride, we like actually to do something for it. We usually do something in-store, such as donating ten per cent of our sales. This year we are doing a sponsored row.

You will be able to make a donation on Dall’s JustGiving page. In exchange, donors can watch him perform an unusual task. This month’s challenge demands that he add ten rows for every donated pound. That’s a hundred rows for every £10, including last-minute donations, which he will try his best to complete on the day of the event.

You will be able to watch Dall dressed as Dobby rowing for charity live on the beloved shop’s Facebook page. Let’s hope the donations will amount to more than a couple of mismatched gym socks. Go, Dobby!
