| | |  Half-Blood Prince actor killed (UPDATED)
Rob Knox, an 18 year old actor who had just finished playing Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince, has been killed. The young actor was stabbed to death in a fight at the Metro bar in Sidcup, Kent, England. He was reported to have just finished filming the sixth movie. Quote:
A Warner Bros spokeswoman said the movie company was "deeply saddened and shocked" by his death and that "our sympathies are with his family."
Three other people were taken to hospital, with one of the individuals being held by police on suspicion of murder.
Our thoughts go out to his friends & family at this tough time.
Thanks to Kaz & Sabrina_Snape for the tip! UPDATE: According to The Guardian Robert had already signed up for Deathly Hallows - since his death six other actors from the Half-Blood Prince cast have visited the place at which he died, to pay their respects. Quote:
"Rob loved acting and loved being part of Harry Potter. We used to go to the karaoke nights at the bar and we'd take the mick out of him by announcing 'Good luck in Harry Potter, Rob' and he used to hide. He didn't like it when we went on about his acting.
"He was so good to everyone about it. He took loads of us up the location where they were shooting it, just to show them what it's like," he added.
Further to that, the Associated Press is reporting that a 21 year old man has been charged with Robert's murder and will appear in court on Tuesday.  | |

My prayers are with the family. It wasn't a gun; he was stabbed. Quote:

Well, no. We are a Harry Potter fansite, at the end of the day. Not a news corporation. Our 'job' is to report on happenings within the world of Harry Potter. Quote:
but i thought it was someone major at first.
Same here - when I found about it originally, from the way the news media are framing the story. Quote:
The saddest part is that this happens way more times than it should and that most people dont know about it.
In a ideal world, it wouldn't happen at all. Quote:
Will they keep his part in the movie?
His role does seem minor, so who knows. Though I imagine if it does get left on the editing suite floor, someone from the media will jump on Warner Brothers' backs for it. Quote:
They've finished filming now
They haven't; the twins are shooting this weekend.

This is exactly what I felt when my brother told me about this today.
They´ll probably dedicate the movie to him. That´s what usually happens when something like this happens.
Cutting him away wouldn´t be nice, I bet he wouldn´t have wanted it. So I don´t think they will.

What is up with knife fights?! They always kill the nice guys! I heard the news late last night across the pond ... omg! Why? Why? Why? Rest in Peace, Rob Knox. My thoughts are with all the loved ones. Stop the violence!
