One thing I noticed recently.
Ever see how prevalent a brief sojurn in the underworld is in the stories?
It appears (sort of) in pretty much every book.
1) The leap into emptiness to enter the corridor where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden
2) The Chamber itself, of course
3) The underground passage, guarded by the Whomping Willow, to get to the Shrieking Shack and meet with Sirius and Peter
4) The labyrinth followed by the cemetary
5) The Department of Mysteries, wherein Harry confronts Time, Love, and Death
6) ... ok, been a while since I've read this one.
Lots and lots of tease leadup to the Master of Death...
