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.
