There are enough magical possibilities. Several times we've seen stun victims being 
checked for how well they are, so Stupefy is dangerous, probably especially to 
children, eldery, people with frail constitution. In any case, several stunning spells 
should do the trick (remember Arthus's fear for the kids after the Ministry wizards 
showered them with stunning spells in GoF).
Then there's Reducio, just blast a hole in his head or chest... Set him on fire... Summon 
a rope around his neck to strangle him... a Banishment Charm strong enough to send 
Flitwick flying might be able to smack Sirius hard against the wall behind him, do it 
several times... Transfigure him somehow...

Those kids are dangerous. ^_~
