Is the Berri-Magic Kids, Holly Bush poisonous in any way.
Leaves?
Stems?
Fruit?
I am planning on planting this in an area frequented by children. (age 2-10)

Holly berries are toxic if consumed. If you're concerned about children eating holly berries, I'd recommend planting a shrub that does not produce berries. (Male hollies such as 'Blue Prince' do not produce berries.)
