It looks like Queen Elsa is helping this association with ice bucket challenges to raise awareness and money for research. What is ALS? ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease which is a sort of neurological disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal chord. This disease currently has no known cure and this is where the ice bucket challenge comes in. Money is needed to continue the research to find a cure.
Since July the idea spread to have a bucket of ice water dumped over your head and then you challenge at least three other people to do the same within 24 hours. If not, then the nominee must donate $100 to the cause. However, even if you accept the challenge of getting ice dumped on to your head, you still have to pay, but just not the $100 flat.

This phenomenon has swept the globe to not just the every day people, but to the actors, politicians, singers, and maybe authors. So far we have had numerous known people like George W. Bush, Anne Hathaway, and Shakira have done it and you can check their video on youtube.
All in all there are few celebrities in the world of Harry Potter and other fantasy realms who have taken the challenge:
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) with the actor for teenage James Potter
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange)
Ian McKellen (Gandalf/Magneto)
Warwick Davis (Flitwick/Griphook/Wicket/Nikabrik)
Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
R2-D2
These are a few that have been listed. Other have been nominated and accepted. They will be posted in due time. Emma Watson has also been nominated for the challenge, but no word from her of her acceptance. The Prophet will notify their readers immediately when she has done it.
