Overlooking the (doubtless correct) argument that summoning the egg
would be boring and anticlimactic, I had a thought. When you summon
something, does it zing around after you like a bullet in a cartoon, or
do you have to stay at the place you cast the spell from? Because if
Harry had to stay still, and Mama Dragon saw her egg zooming toward this
easy target, he'd have been toast before it got there. *She* can fly,
too....
