This is Brilliant, to see the knight bus driving through out the country side or pass by your very own hometown.

It's coming here to San Diego, and nearby, too. You can bet I'll be there. I wish they weren't just letting 200 kids on per stop, but that's life. It's still worth going to see it and getting some photos and all.

That seems pretty cool of what they are doing but i live in Cincinnati, Ohio and they come to Cleveland, Ohio but i wish they would come here too Cincinnati but that seems really cool and stuff. It really seems cool of what they are doing for the last book. I can not believe they are doing so much stuff just for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows but i think it's really cool.

Ooh, I'd like to do this, but as always, it's impossible. Way too expensive and way too far. What can I say? I'm not as fortunate as loads of other people. Oh well, doesn't matter - I have my books and my room.
Wait, this has nothing to do with that. Haha, well, not such a typical thing then. That should be nice. I hope I get to see some of the videos on YouTube or something.
