Some sad news from the Harry Potter set. Actor Robert Knox, who plays Marcus Belby in the latest sequel, was stabbed to death outside a London bar over the weekend.
Belby is a Ravenclaw studen and appears in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, set to hit theaters later this year. Knox had also been signed on to appear in The Deathly Hallows as well.
From Yahoo:
Robert Knox, an 18-year-old actor set to appear in the next Harry Potter film, was fatally stabbed outside a London pub on Saturday. According to British media reports, the actor was part of a brawl that sent five males to the hospital, including a 21-year-old who was arrested on suspicion of murder after being treated for facial injuries.
Pretty sad stuff and awful, awful news for his family. The producers are done shooting Half-Blood Prince, so the disheartening task of finding a replacement for the final two installments lies with them.
Wow…how sad.
It doesn’t matter how famous he was (or wasn’t), or that he wasn’t one of the major leads in the films, no one should be taken from life this young. So sad. 
D.L. Whites last blog post..On the "Fringe"
Yeah, it’s a sucky story…feel bad for his family.
Also, this was likely a big, huge deal for him to be in this movie, and now it might be hard for his family to watch.
That’s so sad…I can imahine how surprised his family heard this news a sudden tragedy. I feel sorry and symphaty for his family.
Such a tragedy.
Why does everyone always assume the victim was innocent. Who really was the victim here? Does anyone personally know the kid? For all we know he was a well known lil’ terroriser of people. Just because they were an actor and have lots of nice pictures of them smiling!
Maybe he got slightly more than what he deserved, it’s a shame it resulted in death, but what do you expect if you aggravate someone enough out of your own enjoyment? and then to continue to still “ask for some” from a guy you just beat up who’s now holding 2 knives.. I mean … seriously, isn’t it quite obvious that if a guy you’ve battered for no reason is now holding 2 knives, it’s time to say sorry.
Where do you get off talking like that?
The fact is that we may never know what really happened that night, but it is massively unfair for you to assume badly of this poor guy. According to the newspapers I’ve read that he had heard that Karl Bishop was armed with two huge kitchen knives and was after Rob Knox’s brother, whom he naturally went to defend, or head off. Bishop should never have been armed with such weapons, regardless of what he may or may not have been put through before. Lets remember that a lot of teenage males are angry and irrational at times, but to merely label them as terrible people.. its nowhere near as simple as that. And that goes for the killer in this case too.
Regardless, someone is dead, prematurely and unfairly. Had there been no knives involved the likelihood of that would have been far smaller. Dont start mouthing off when the deceased parents have only just got the relief of a guilty verdict and are still realing from having lost a son they loved so terribly young. Thats just disrespectful.
Man i feel so sorry for his family i couldnt possibly imagine what they must be going through keep ur spirts high and never forget
