**Which *Harry Potter* characters appear in all seven books, only to die in book seven? [MAJOR SPOILERS/CHARACTER DEATHS]**

I can go either way on 

> 
>  Harry,
> 
> 
> 

depending on your interpretation of the *King's Cross* chapter in *Deathly Hallows*.

> 
>  Some feel he died; other believe it was more along the lines of a near-death experience. I'll accept either interpretation. 
> 
> 
> 

* I'm not requesting this, but just as an FYI: It's fun to try and
answer questions like this from memory before hitting up canon.
* This is not a list question, as there is a finite number of
characters who fit the question's criteria.

★ I'm looking for a canon-based answer (the seven *Harry Potter* novels, the three supplemental books, J.K. Rowling interviews, and Pottermore) and do not prefer an answer from either the HP Wikia or the Wikipedia.

NOTE: A few months ago I got an email from a fellow SFF.se user about the *Harry Potter* questions on the site. Now, I cannot find her email :/ She asked me this question as a personal challenge and I put it onto the back burner, but today I decided I would post it here and see if the user who emailed me will comment so I can fully credit her for the question.
