How is Cedric Diggory an example of \\\"anyone can die\\\"? He\\\'s only mentioned a few times, and only in the one book in which he dies, he\\\'s completely unimportant to the plot and within his universe, has no relationship with any of the heroes, and was only brought into the light to die - in other words, your typical red-shirt. (Mauve shirt if you insist.)

The only character who might possibly qualify is Dumbledore as he is rather important both for his universe and for the main hero personally, but a) as a mentor figure he was bound to die anyway, and b) I don\\\'t think suicides should count as the trope. Same with the meaningless summary execution of several supporting characters (Lupin, Fred Weasley, Tonks etc.) in and around the final battle.

In my humble personal opinion, it would be \\\"anyone can die\\\" if Ron kicked the
bucket, or McGonagall had a fatal heart-attack (or ended up in the place of the red shirt Charity Burbage), a Dursley got run over by a lorry, or Voldemort got mad at and killed Draco. Interestingly enough, even if an author kills off characters by the dozens cuz she\\\'s dark, got it, dark, it doesn\\\'t mean that in her books \\\"anyone can die\\\".
