Angie chimes in:

If it were as easy as saying "Accio Egg" surely one of the other 
Champions, if not Hermione, would have thought of that.  I wonder if 
we're not being too hard on poor Harry.  Hindsight is 20/20. Harry 
was focused on getting his broom, after all, not the varied uses of 
the Accio charm.  I'm sure that "Accio Firebolt!" was all that was 
running through his head, not "Accio Egg."  Once he got his broom, 
his strategy was based on having using the broom to lure the dragon 
away from the egg, not the other way around. Certainly Accio Egg 
would have been simpler, but you gotta admit, just standing there and 
saying "Accio egg" is not very dramatic.

Angie (who wonders how much of this dicussion was colored by movie 
contamination regarding this scene, which showed the egg free amd 
clear when Harry entered the arena, and who knows that if she had 
been the one facing a dragon, she would have needed to say "Accio 
toliet paper!)
