Scholastic Knight Bus tour dates announced

In March Scholastic announced plans for a Knight Bus tour. The names of the libraries it will be visiting, plus the dates and times, have now been revealed.

The bus will be visiting 37 libraries, starting in New York City on June 1st, travelling across the country and then returning to New York at Scholastic headquarters in time for the launch of Deathly Hallows on July 21st.

At each stop fans will be able to board the bus and record on video their thoughts and feelings about Harry Potter. A selection will later be uploaded and played at the Scholastic website. On top of that, everyone will be given a username and password enabling them to view their video online.

Well cool ideas! Sounds awesome overall. :D

Edit: First to post! :woot:

That's awesome wish I could go!!!

How Fun!
*wish I could go*
:(
*pouts*

That sounds like fun. Wish is was coming to were i live. :cry: that its not:)

that sounds like fun! If it was in Seattle or something, I'd cross the border for that... (but it's to far to go to Cali :D)
You people that can go will be lucky!
Tell us all about it when you get off the Bus :)

That'd be great. And I live in NY so this'll be cool.

Sounds awesome but why do these things always happen in America?? England is where Harry Potter is and nothing ever happens <_<

Bloomsbury will be doing other stuff, they've just not announced anything yet.

:cry: they will be in San Francisco and I can't go becuase it is during the week! So close but so far away :poke: work! How unfair is this?! Even if I get off work and drive down there, I will get there right before it closes! *Runs of to devise a plan*

I wish I could go on the Knight Bus......

I wish I could go there ><

Woot! I will for sure be there!!! :woot:! -dances around the thread- I shall drag all of my friends there. :lol: -pets them- So Fun!! <3

Awe, wish I could go :( *pouts* have fun to all who do though!

*moves to the US*

I wish I could go. Not close to where I live at all. :(

It would be amazing to go! ^_^

I'm walking in a spiderweb leave a message and I'll call you back ...

The Knight Bus ... but does it run during the day? *Baboomtish*

:frog:

I have to admit ... how annoying it is that it's only hitting the big cities, and how sad it is that they didn't think to do this earlier in the year and hit more towns, now that would have been nice ... but then the price of gas ... I could buy two copies of DH at full price for what it takes to fill up my car's tank :cry: I don't spend that much on chocolate.

*stomps feet* I wanna go~~~~~~~~~whaaaaaa
it's really cool. Lucky for people who are going

I wish I could be a part of this, it sounds like alot of fun!!!!

That's soooooo incredible!! I wish I lived in the USA!! it would be grat to go inside the knight bus

Thats Awesome!
i live in LA and drive by the Mid-Valley Regional Branch Library everyday.
So im definitly going.

Wow, thats cool its coming to a library in a county i live in
HOORAY

it would be sweet if i could go, but the closest it gets to me is 3 states away!

Cool. Have fun everyone who goes.

That would be so fun to go.

Congratulations to everyone who lives near a stop on the tour. I wish it had made it's way to Atlanta or other Southern city. It would be cool to see it.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I want! I want! I want Pics at least :cry:

My fear is that the time slots are way to short. If you aren't in the front of the lines you can forget getting on board. Time slots appear to be at the longest 5 hours. You have to think about people milling around inside and the filming of each person's video that doesn't indicate a huge number of people will get inside. So if you go, you might want to stake out your spot several hours before hand and even that might be to late. I can see fans beginning to que the day before the bus arrives in these cities because most of them are large.

I so agree with you. This is so unfair. Maybe they are staying away because of that Mallory woman that lives near me. UGH!!

I WANT TO GO!!!!:no: :hairpull: :cry:

That....is awesome. Hmmmmm Chicago or St Louis?

Too bad they're not going to Dallas. *sigh*

It should come to England! <_<

That's great. There's a couple of times for NY. =) I might be able to visit them.

ya, gratz to everyone that's near. If only I could fly down to Cali... ;)
But it sounds like fun, even with the possible time-slot thing

They couldn't have stopped in Indianapolis!!! That's right on the way to Chicago.... darnt it!!!

That would be fun to go to.

Wow. Too bad for me. It's a never to be seen.

Chicago! Thats only about 100 miles from me, I think I'll take my kids if I can swing this. And if I do go I'll bring a camera and post it.

Ooh that sounds really cool!
How come all this cool stuff is happening in America? Harry Potter is from the UK and we get nothing!
*tear*

Yep, Baltimore County! Woo! Cockeysville is not far from me at all!

Now come to England...come to England [/Jedi Mind Trick]

:faint::eek: This is so exciting because one of those libraries is like 15 minutes away from where i live and i go there like everyday and then theres another one that is like an hour away from where i live so im really lucky:woot: i hope i can take a tour of the knight bus!;)

Awwww...none in my city..but that's ok I can afford a little trip for Harry Potter:hpbroom: :hpbroom: :hpbroom: :albus: :albus: :ron3: :twins:

I know it wasn't coming to Minnesota. That's beacause we suck!! :(

that sounds fun... too bad they don't come anywhere near me...

awesome that it's going to be in new york. i'll have to beg my mom to go to it..

Wish they were stopping somewhere near me! Oh well... [:/]
