I have nothing against America, but how come all the Harry Potter hype seems to be over there? The author is British, and so are the books. I don't understand it :-/

Loopy Loony, me too I read the series like twice a year.
It's not coming to MI! I wonder how the libraries were chosen?
I love that they're going to libraries though and not book stores, not that I have anything against bookstores..anywho..

I can't wait until I get to be able to see the Knight bus when it comes to my area. I love the description of it in the book, that it's "violently purple."

I think it's awesome that they actually have a mock Knight Bus that is going to travel to 37 libraries, however I think it sucks that none of them are going anywhere near Florida where I live.

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.
