A situation in which a character (usually the [[MacGuffin]] of the plotline) must return to the place where they or an important plot device originated from. This can involve taking the character back to where they came from, or going to the literal source of something, such as the place where an object of power was created..
Related to [[Now Do It Again Backwards]] (Wanna destroy something? Then go back to where it was created), [[Book Ends]], and [[It Was with You All Along]]. Also could be a supertrope to [[Where It All Began]].

** In the next book, Hermione proposes an actual reason for going there. All is ultimately subverted when {{spoiler|nothing beneficial happens there. They don't find any of the unknown horcruxes, they don't find any information on the Deathly Hallows, Harry is nearly killed by Voldemort's snake, his wand is broken when he's rescued, and he later laments that he didn't even get a chance to kill the snake while he was at it (the snake being a horcrux).}}
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'': Frodo must take the One Ring to its place of creation, Mount Doom in the land of Mordor, in order to destroy it and rid the world of its evil power.
