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.

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

I think it would be really neat to see the night bus in person. It's also neat that they are getting people to record their thoughts about the books, it will give people a better idea of what everyone thinks about Harry.

Dang, too bad it's not going to be coming farther south or be up northeast later. Seems to me like my summer plans conflict with the schedule. Oh well, have fun to all those who will be able to make it!

I am so incredibly jealous that this is touring and I am NO where near a stop!
This is a wicked cool idea and will generate a ton of great publicity, but I feel I must point out that this book really doesn't need to be publicised as all the rabid fans are hot on the trail of this book.

Lets see if I will be able to go to Chicago. That would be great if I could. I think I am I bigger HP fan than that little girl..
Lets see I was 11 when the first book came out, I grew up with the books, JK started thinking about them about the time I was born, and I have read each one 3 times or more. I am re-reading them before the final book is released.

Heh, alright then. I think I have a great chance of being totally correct when I say that something that will never happen in Jamaica. Well, the rest of us will probably get to see footage from the tour anyway. Hmm, I don't think I've been to a library here in probably more than 6 or 7 years. That's a pretty long time - everyone here pretty much just buys books. Well, there IS the school library, but I'm not drawn to the books that I see there one bit.
