To celebrate the upcoming release of Harry Potter and the Death Hallows in a few weeks, Scholastic, the U.S. publishers of the Harry Potter books, kicked-off
off their Knight Bus tour today in New York City. The bus, parked this morning at Rockefeller Center, will tour the nation visiting 37 libraries where fans can create their own 20-second video to record their thoughts of the series.
You can view a video of the launch below or go here to view it via HPANA's YouTube page.

This is pretty cool except for the fact that they are not coming to texas, which is pretty lame in my own opinion.

I agree that I think it's fabulous that they're supporting the LIBRARIES - and not multinational book companies. It's great to see stuff like this in the USA. Bus looks so great!!

That is such a great idea having the Knight Bus. It lets people feel like they are part of the Harry Potter world. Not long to wait now till DH comes out. I can't wait.

Is it me or was the Knight Bus in the films not purple? I mean I don't really remember, it just looks kind of weird all purple with the picture of the books on the sides. I wonder how Harry would feel seeing those books if the Knight Bus looked like that? that would be a fun conversation.

I wanna go!!!! The knight bus looks a little too bright..... but still somewhat realistic. It may look more so during the night, I guess.
