How exciting. I wish they were coming to Pittsburgh. I don't think I will be able to get to Cleveland to see it. It would be wonderful if we could. I know they can't make every city. I just wish it would be closer.

That is so cool. I'll have to go to the event in Elmhurst.
I hope that if I go, I can get on the bus. That would be so cool to be able to give my thoughts on the books and maybe even have the video on the Scholastic website.
That is an awesome idea. Yay for Scholastic for planning this tour!

Why is it that every good thing about Harry Potter has to happen in the U.S or in the U.K? I wish that it would be happening in Australia. We hardly ever get anything to do with Harry Potter here. Well, have fun to those of you are lucky enough to be able to go on that trip.
