That is so awesome, I wonder if they are going to stop anywhere near me? I would love to see it, better yet check it out and actually sit in it!

That's too cool. I went to New York two weeks ago. I still enjoyed it, but I would have loved to see the bus.

I thought it would feature something a little more exciting than recording your thoughts...

That's cool, but it's not coming very close to me! I'd like to find a schedule to see when and where it will be, and maybe take a road trip.

Well, unless I can convince my parents to fly me to the states I really doubt I can go..
Though I wish I could, it looks like so much fun!

I think it's awesome she's a big fan of the series! I wish the Knight Bus would come to Vegas! I mean if any town needs more encouragement to read, it's here!

That is one of the neatest and uniquest things they have come up with. What a great way for kids to get even more excited.

There is a mistake on the article, it's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Hmm... sounds like Bleach. Anyway the Knight bus looks great, I mean I would love to go round country on that thing. And Jo's idea of a witch or wizard just holding out their wands like hitch hikers to ride the Knight Bus is a great idea.

What a great idea. I wonder if it is the original bus or one that was done here in the USA?
It would be a good idea to have the bus visit schools once the fall terms have started.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Wicked, wsh we could have a proper one of them here in England, it'd be really cool.
Canis Diris, y'know, it's funny, my friend's totally convinced that it will be called 'the Deathly Hollows'. I tell her it's 'Hallows' as in 'Hallowed be Thy name' in the Lord's Prayer. But whatever. :I

It looks sort of...fake! But I'm not going to be anywhere where it's going! 0MFG! That's so not right! I was in New York LAST WEEK! AND NOW THE BUS COMES! AND I WAS IN THE HOTEL ACROSS FROM THE ROCKEFELLER CENTER!

Cool bus. I wonder if it will be in the Universal Studios theme park when it opens in 3 years time (as I won't be able to see it this year)

What a great idea. Much better than the boring old Book-Mobile that used to come to my school when I was a kid.
