Rowling has stated in previous interviews that kids are most worried
about Ron being killed. She says kids have seen so many movies where the
best friend dies. And then she goes on to say, "As if I'm going to kill
Harry's best friend." I don't think it will be Ron, at least in this
book. He is an "innocent" and he has sacrificed himself before, so I
don't think the idea of him dying in unfounded, but I don't think it
would happen in this book, and unlikely in 6 and 7.

I think it's going to be Hagrid. Though...it could be Black(!) or Lupin.
Could be anyone.
