Beep Beep! As part of their “There Will Soon Be 7” campaign, Scholastic, the US publishers of the Harry Potter novels, have announced the dates of a special Knight Bus tour. Kicking off June 1 from New York City, the Knight Bus tour will feature a bus that will travel to 37 different libraries across the US over a seven week period, as we await the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. At each stop, fans:
“will be invited to board the Knight Bus and share on video their thoughts and feelings about the Harry Potter books. Select video clips from each location will be uploaded for viewing and sharing on www.scholastic.com/harrypotter. Additionally, each person will receive a unique username and password so that they can view their own video online.
“We know that one of the most incredible things about Harry Potter is the amazing discussion that it ignites among fans of all ages,” said Lisa Holton, President of Scholastic Trade and Book Fairs, Scholastic. “The Knight Bus tour is the perfect way to let fans from across the country share their Harry Potter experience as they await the conclusion of this remarkable series.”
