I'm not the only one who disagrees with the label 'children's book'. 
It was marketed to children, but that's not the same thing. Also keep 
in mind that by the end of the series, H/H/R will be 17/18. Lead 
characters this old aren't featured in books classified 
as 'children's'(I'm not a children's literature specialist, and none 
of my librarian friends are picking up the phone right now. Young 
adult, maybe?).

I personally don't think any of the characters are safe, but I'm most 
especially concerned for

A: Harry
B: whomever Harry might develop a romantic interest in (be it Ginny, 
Cho, Hermione, Pansy, the giant squid... :)
