“Goblet of Fire” contains AK#2 as far as I remember. “Deathly Hallows” actually contains AK#3 and AK#4.…
You would think that after three failed attempts, Voldemort might have got the hint. HPMoR Voldemort would of course update after one failed attempt and not try again.
Allowing for alternatives to AK, I think there are only two possible explanations for why Voldie doesn’t just kill Harry at this point:
He values Harry alive so much that he is willing to risk ending the universe.
Of course, every time the AK fails in canon, it is for a different reason (unless you count “plot armor”), making the true correct conclusion more difficult to see.
Your quote could be just making fun of canon though.
Specifically, the final book where Voldemort goes for not just AK #2 but also AK #3 as well.
