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.
