As you may not know, a HP actor died today (Saturday 24 May 2008). He was stabbed in South East london outside a Bar, because he was protecting his 16 year old brother. His name is Rob Knox, he is 18. He is playing a minor role, the charactor is called Marcus Belby a Ravenclaw student in the upcoming film Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince. I was shocked to hear this. I would like to pay tribute to him and sympathy towards his family.  |

I did read an article about this and was shocked, even though he was playing a minor role he will be missed because every character has an important part in the Harry Potter franchise. I offer my sympathy to his family.

A 21 year man has been arrested and charged with his murder. I still can't believe that he got stabbed to death just because he was protecting his brother. The murderer was armed with two knives.

Thats just horrible... he was stabbed... I want to be on that man's jury and put my two cents in. Death row, send him to Texas, we have an express lane.
I send my deepest and heart felt wishes to the family of the desised.

I think eath row is a little extreme he did do something wrong but I mean no one deserves to die even if they have caaused all that pain...Hewill be forgiven and even if he isnt sorry if he dies he wont be sorry for long bbecause he will be dead.

I had heard about this and it honestly made me both shocked that a boy so young was actually murdered and saddened at the way it seems my/our generation has become so violent and cruel. It is just heart-breaking to think that this young man's life was ended so quickly.
I send my love and prayers to his family.

That happened at the beginning of my kids school year last year. The boy was in my son's grade and they think it was from drugs, and that he had committed suicide.

Yes there have been many deaths at my school since I have been in high school as well. Just last year two boys that were in Senior year (two years older than I) were kill in four wheeler and motorcycle accidents. Also I boy in my cousin's grade (he would have been a freshman) died by a drug overdose.

Oh I'm so sorry Roxy, that must have been horrible. I wasn't really close to any of those boys, only acquaintances.

That is good to hear. I sometimes wonder if maybe the boy who died last year by committing suicide if it upset my son. Even though the boy wasn't in my son's grade I sometimes think that it upset him because there is so much drama in school anymore and that is when he started to have problems. Everyone says he was a great kid and couldn't believe that he would commit suicide. It makes you wonder what happened to make him do that.
You guys will get your lives back together over time.

Update: Karl Bishop 23 who Killed Robert Knox and wounding 5 of his friends was sentenced to 20 years (Life) in Prison yesterday (4 March 09). Robert Knox finished filming a few days earlier, before he was stabbed 5 times. Robert Knox was going to reprise his role as Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and The Deatjly Hallows. Rupert Grint was very good friends with Robert Knox. They showed a picture of him in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in the paper today (5 March 09). Robert would still be alive today if Police had arrested Karl Bishop for a previous crime. He had been out of prison for 11 months before Stabbing Robert Knox.
