Eddie:
The characters in Potterverse seem to be much more like regular mortal
people, albeit magical.  Meaning, if a Potterverse werewolf is cut he
shall surely bleed, and if sufficiently bled, shall surely die.  I
don't think it will require a silver bullet (or hand) to take down
Fenrir (for example).  But that doesn't mean JKRowling won't find it
fitting and amusing to have Fenrir taken down by a certain
silver-handed gent.
