 Wow.  I've read GoF 5 times and it never occurred to me, nor has it 
 shown up as a question on this list in the 7 months I've been here, so 
 I suppose it's realistic that it wouldn't occur to any of the 
 champions either.
 
 Or, assuming they're all thinking more clearly than we are (?):  Since 
 none of the champions did this, maybe there's a reason very obvious to 
 them, e.g. dragons are known to shield their eggs from Accio.  Why 
 they don't shield them from being manually carried away, I dunno. >>

I think it's because the point of the task is to face the dragon and get the 
egg. Using Accio to get the egg ignores the first part of the task.
