I just finished reading the final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows.

One of the main characters carried a BOB! Of course, they didn't call it that...

"...I've had the essentials packed for days, you know, in case we needed to make a quick getaway."

Hermione's BOB was a small beaded bag that she kept on her person all the time, sometimes tucked in the top of her sock. I knew you all would be panting to know what was in it, so I made a list:

The two boys' rucksacks
An invisibility cloak
Books, stacked by subject
Money
3 sleeping bags
3 toothbrushes
A large framed talking painting
A flask of Polyjuice potion
A bottle of Essence of Dittany (for injuries)
A Sneakoscope (it tells if anyone bad is lurking around)
A small radio
A canvas tent with a bathroom and small kitchen, 3 armchairs and a set of bunkbeds

I wish I had a BOB that would carry that much stuff and still fit in the top of my sock.

"...An invisibility cloak..."

Now THAT is something I would love to have. With one of those suckers, you wouldn't need anything else, you could just walk in and "borrow" from others...

I'd kinda just like to have some socks.

Survivorman brought this kit with him in one episode, except he added a harmonica.

I'm jealous...

Curse my muggle blood!

LOL!!

In Dungeons and Dragons, we called this a bag of holding. Had something to do with dimensional warping.

I recall a discussion about a suitcase built such that you could access the 4th dimension within it. A guy would put various items into the suitcase, then remove them, one at a time, before placing the next item in the suitcase, circulating about 10 times the volume of items than it would hold fully loaded. Later, he would open the suitcase and remove whatever item he needed as it appeared.

Kinda along the same principle as the clown car in the Circus I suppose. How else they gonna get all them clowns in that little itty bitty car except via another dimension? Or is it that clowns are compressible?

Clowns ARE compressible.... I thought everyone knew THAT!

Ahhh, D&D. Brings back fond memories. I had a couple great characters (10th level monk and a 9th level cleric) that I raised from 1st level, then lost the folder somewhere. Devastating.

How do you get the Volkswagen in the sock,I packed one inside a moving van one time and that wasn't easy let alone a sock...LOL


Shadow out !!!

That reminds me of a Mr. Bean skit about driving his car from the roof (having overloaded the inside with supplies) and then running it into the back of a pillow van, with the resulting "pwhuh" sound and the feathers of a thousand ducks flying out the back. Good fun that.

Hmm, I knew clowns were easily grindable (as evidenced by the big piles o' colored clown confetti covering some ski slopes), but compressible as well?

I guess the next test will be for elasticity then. Rack 'em!

ahh i miss the game too, and while were talking about bags of holding lets not forget its evil twin the bag of devouring which would usually just eat all your items.

in the book harry also had a magic container like that called moleskin or something. wouldnt mind having 1 of those myself then i could plan a bug out tent.

Having read that book twice now I can admit that the first time I read it I wishing something like that bag acctually existed. You could fit literealy everthing you could ever need in it! Even the fully kitted out Bug out vehicle!

Remember, Good or Bad Magic is just a question of $Money$.

Just like how much personal freedom do you wish to purchase in a certain country south of the border.
