I don't think it would have hurt the story. If anything it would have made it madami interesting. Even though I wouldn't want to see Hermione or Ron die and thank the gods it didn't happen. It would be interesting to see how Harry would react and how much madami he would want to avenge his mga kaibigan deaths and fight even harder to prove they didn't die in vain.

Harry Potter is a kids' story. It'd have hurt the story if one of the golden trio died, obviously. There were sacrifices anyhow: Moody, Tonks, Lupin, Sirius, Dumby, Fred etc. We did see how Harry reacted when his mga kaibigan died for him, I don't think it was any of Rowling's purposes when Pagsulat the story that we should see and feel through the personal tragedy of the main character. The whole story is about the good winning against the bad, the bonds of friendship, the importance of loyalty and love. If one of them died, it'd be all in vain or would take 7 madami books to prove otherwise. After all, the golden morals of JK would be destroyed. It'd be quite morbid to kill Harry himself, when we started off from his childhood age, and killing Ron or Hermione would only cause madami sorrow and ruin the happy end. None of that is a purpose of this series. The usual fairy tale scheme with the Happily Ever After air is what belongs to a story like Harry Potter's. Especially that it's not just his, but Ron's and Hermione's story too.
I think it would depend on who died when - if Harry died in any book except the last, the books would hit a dead end. There wouldn't be anything to hope/live for, Voldemort would win, etc. If Hermione died during any one of the books, nobody would have a clue as of what to do next. "Harry, should we read that book, or paghahanap this one?" "Ron, how do you pronounce this spell?" I'm sad to say, if Ron died, the books could have gone on. Hermione would have been sad, possibly depressed, but that's about it. It would just give Harry one madami thing to live for.
Oh my gods! How DARE you even suggest such a thing?! Of COURSE it would affect the story! Now take back your curse, you foul, evil thing! "Now go away or I shall taunt you a segundo time.". Awesome French Dude From Holy Grail.
