The thing is, I don't think it would be very
significant for one of those characters to die.  I
mean, of them all, we know Krum the best, and we don't
know him well at all.  They aren't main parts of the
story, so it wouldn't be a huge trauma to the series
if they were killed.  I hate to say it, but I really
think it's going to be Hagrid.  Yes, he is Harry's
friend, but during GoF he really became a fan too.  A
number of times Hagrid kept telling Harry,
(paraphrase) "You're gonna win" and "You're gonna be
the champion".  And Harry didn't know what to say
because he was so nervous that he didn't know how to
respond to Hagrid's insistence upon him winning.  He's
really the only person I'm comfortable calling "a fan"
that I think is important enough to the story to have
a hard to write death.
