As weird as it sounds, characters' deaths are one of the things that make HP good. Without them, the story has no sense of intensity or emotion. How frightful an evil overlord would Voldemort be if he didn't kill anybody? They'd have no reason to fear him, and just let him laugh maniacally while they went about their lives. Every book would read like a teen-crush fanfic that's hundreds of pages long.

I could go on, but I think you get the point-- deaths are necessary in lots of stories to make them forceful.

It also proves j.k rowlings plot to kill off some characaters just proves that the book aren't just aimed for kids because of the violent deaths in the books.

LunaLovegood is on a distinguished road
In the interview J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life, it is said that the book is filled with many fatherly figures. But, as we all know, she ends up killing many of them. The book would have to real emotion if some of the great characters weren't killed.

The only deaths in the first couple of books are as follows:
From Philosopher's Stone:
James and Lily Potter
Quirinius Quirrell
Cuthbert Binns
Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (Nearly Headless Nick)
Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel
^And four of them were dead prior to the first chapter; unless you don't count James and Lily, which you should. Without their immediate deaths, there's no story.

From Chamber of Secrets:
Moaning Myrtle
The Basilisk
^One of these deaths is a good thing and the other happened thirty-nine years prior to Harry Potter's birth.

Those deaths are hardly "all characters".

In my personal opinion, deaths are good because it intensifies a story. Makes it a bit more dramatic and creates an emotional attachment with the reader; especially if the character is well-loved or even well-hated.
