[edit] Known and Possible Uses
Hermione Granger used this charm on her small beaded handbag in 1997 so that she was able to pack all the supplies she believed she would need while hunting down Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. This included books, changes of clothes, money, Harry's Cloak of Invisibility, and healing supplies.[1] Eventually, Hermione also placed the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black that had previously been in 12 Grimmauld Place in her bag as well[2].
The same, or a similar, spell was used to make Ministry of Magic cars, tents at the Quidditch World Cup, and the Knight Bus larger on the inside.
