permanent arsenal

Q: How do you decide what is going to become a part of Harry’s permanent arsenal and what isn’t
A: Harry spends about 20 hours a week just making sure that his stuff keeps working.  For the most part he’s got a part time job where he’s at the wizard Gym making sure that his stuff keeps going.  I’ve got a vague limit figured out of this is how much he can maintain at any one time.  So the stuff he maintains as part of his arsenal is stuff that is going to be useful in the majority of the situations he’s going to face.
He often needs to blow something up:  Blasting Rod.
He often needs something to help him out with a number of minor chores:  Staff.
Not getting shot by bullets is great:  Shield Bracelet.
The force rings were something that were great, because you never know when you could be going to the grocery store and BAM 30 ghouls.
He can’t have unlimited stuff, he’s got to keep it up.  If he’s got a new toy, it’s something I’ve got a purpose in mind for in the story.
