I have been compiling a mental dossier of characters that could be killed and characters that can't be killed.
Characters that could die: Any Weasley except Ron, but most likely Percy, one of the twins, or Ginny. Or Molly or Arthur, which would break my heart. Reubus Hagrid Draco Malfoy Neville Longbottom Lavender Brown or Parvati Patil Seamus Finnegan or Dean Thomas Justin Finch-Fletchley, Padma Patil, Ernie MacMillan, or other minor-character kids in Harry's class Blaise Zabini, Adrian Pucey, Susan Bones, et al (remember, Cedric Diggory was only a name in canon until the fourth book, and it still hurt to see him die!) Sirius or Remus, or Peter for that matter. Colin or Dennis Creevey Cho Chang
Characters that probably won't die: Harry Potter (you can't kill off the title character) Dumbledore (my theory is that he'll die, but not until the seventh book) Voldemort (ditto) Ron and Hermione (this is still sort of a childrens' series, and I just don't think she'd do that.) Snape (remember that rumor about Snape finding love? He can't do that if he's dead.) McGonagall (only because I really, really don't want her offed and thus will not entertain that possibility) Crabbe and/or Goyle (because frankly, who'd care?) The Dursleys (ditto)
I have no idea who the actual person is, I swear up and down. I don't get the book for another nine hours. But my bet is on Percy Weasley. So if I turn out to be right, here's the record that I called it.
