Line 52:
** Said stone was {{spoiler|keeping Flamel alive}}, though. It was only at the end that {{spoiler|Flamel decided to die}}.
** Also, it can be argued that much of what occurred was actually set up by Dumbledore as part of Harry's [[Training from Hell]]. How else could you explain the stupidity of sending Hagrid on the "secret" mission to retrieve the stone, when he knew Harry would be with him.
** There's even an interesting theory proposing that the Mirror of Erised was actually a trap for Voldemort. If true, justified because the [[MacGuffin]] was actually a bait. [https://web.archive.org/web/20190928094639/http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=94246
* The ending of the [[Forgotten Realms]] trilogy of books ''Shadowdale'', ''Tantras'', and ''Waterdeep'' is the presentation of the MacGuffin—the Tablets of Fate—to the overgod Ao. Who then promptly crushes them with his bare hands. [[Shaggy Dog Story|Some readers felt cheated.]]
** Has it ever been stated just how important the Tablets were in and of themselves? Not having read the actual novels, I was always operating under the assumption that Ao ''intended'' them to be [[Plot Coupons]] and that it was their return that was important, not the objects themselves.
