va32h:

I had a similar discussion in a livejournal group - and we ended up 
in fits of laughter. I expressed my surprise that the trio did not 
attempt to accio all the remaining horcruxes, and Voldemort himself, 
and just wrap everything up right there on the steps of the Burrow 
the morning of Harry's birthday. Another poster began a round-robin 
fanfic in which Voldemort awoke rather grumpily to find himself 
zooming across the countryside, slightly mollified by the fact that 
he had made his last two horcruxes out of a pot of coffee and the 
morning's paper. 

I do have to agree that JKR seems to have her favorite words or 
phrases in each book. In HBP it was all blazing looks and chest 
monsters, in GoF she was obsessed with navels.
