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.

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.
