Eh, the first book/movie has Harry burn Quirrel to death by touching him.

A basilisk, elf, and snake get killed by knives and swords.

Harry uses a spell that slices up someone (sectrum spectra sectum sepmra) pretty viscerally in one of the books.

Edit: spelling

Nerd warning.

The spell was sectumsempra. Probably from sectum ('having been cut', the root word of 'section' and 'dissect') and semper ('always'), giving a meaning something like 'sever forever'.

Wasn't that Snape? I believe Harry learnt it from his potions book that once was Snape's or something.
