Line 119:
** Also the Temple of Bel-Shamharoth in ''Colour of Magic'', and the Lancre Caves in ''Lords and Ladies''. The space inside the Dancers in ''Lords and Ladies'' hangs a lampshade on this, "The circle was a few yards across, it shouldn't appear to contain so much distance."
** Unseen University, aside from the Library, is said to be expanding constantly, especially its maze-like corridors.
** InInverted in ''The Last Continent'',: Bugarup University has a tower that's Taller at the Top: from the bottom, and while climbing it, it only seems to be about twenty feet tall, but the view from the top appears to be half a mile up. This makes it Smaller on the Inside, which is handy when one needs to climb to the top.
*** Similarly, though not played for laughs, in [[Patricia Mc KillipMcKillip]]'s ''Harpist in the Wind'' (third in the ''Riddle-Master'' trilogy) there's a tower with an external spiral staircase that appears to be finite in size, but when you try to climb it you'll find that the top is always the same distance above you... ''unless'' the owner feels like letting you in.
* Several locations in ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', mostly those which are [[Invisible to Normals]], are hidden in small spaces: Grimmauld Place, Platform 9¾, the tents the Weasleys use at the Quidditch World Cup... but this is literally because [[A Wizard Did It]].
** Hermione's tiny little beaded handbag in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]]''. It fits in her sock, but it contains clothes, books (many, many books), tents, and a framed portrait.
Line 139:
* Solembum mentions he has seen rooms that are bigger on the inside in ''Inheritance''.
* The House of the Osugbo in ''[[Who Fears Death]]''.
