Robert Knox, who played Marcus Belby in the sixth harry potter movie and was contracted to play him in the seventh, has been murdered.

"Karl Bishop, 21, from Sidcup, has also been charged with five counts of wounding another five people - including four teenagers and one man in his 20s - on the same night. He was remanded in custody until September 2 following an appearance at Bexleyheath Magistrates Court this morning.
Harry Potter actor Robert, 18, was fatally wounded while trying to protect his 17-year-old brother Jamie during a fight outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup."

I wasn't going to see the movie originally, but now I feel almost like I have to. What do you think?

Edit: It appears that this happened a while ago. Sorry to those who already knew and don't like the posting of old news

 

Who the fuck is Marcus Belby?

 

Holy shit I was murdered?! D:

And why should I care about some random Harry Potter actor? I mean, yeah, it sucks a dude died, but that happens everyday. Nothing new.

 

Marcus Belby was one of the boys Slughorn had scouted due to Marcus's father being the inventor of the Wolf's Bane potion. It can be inferred, however, that due to various reasons Slughorn is in disagreement with Marcus's father.

Marcus Belby (sorry for the small picture):

 

Sucks, but this guy won't cause a Heath Ledger repeat.

 

I think there's a Mark Twain quote you should put in your sig now.

Not really news, but obviously an awful tradgedy thats follows an ever increasing and distrubing trend of knife attacks in the UK over the last 2 years.

 

If the citizens had guns to protect themselves, there wouldn't be that many knife attacks.

 

Who really cares anyway? The movies were so fucking retardedly off from the books. I only watched 1-3 and I was really disappointed. I'm not even going to bother watching any HP movies again. And I don't know who the hell that actor is anyway.

I mean sure, it sucks he's dead, but I don't even know'em.

 

This is nearly a year old, jesus.

I think you had the right idea in your first post Xiph.

 

Shit. I saw the title, and I hoped that Radcliffe was dead. Now I'm sad.

 

I had a similar reaction as this, when I saw the title I expected it to have been a certain crazy Ron hating Hermione fangirl killing Grint.

 

This is a dupe thread, I linked the other one in my previous post, and whilst being a few years out, the news is relatively as old as Jesus as Xiph so eloquently put it

 

My bad I thought you said shot dead in the OP and the other guy I thought got stabbed XD

 

Subtle. Very subtle.

 

Guy who knifed him was convicted today. Tried to claim that the actor had run onto the knives.

 

There are a few actors (and actresses) from the Harry Potter series I'd like to see run onto a knife.

 

Including Ron's character and Bonny Fugly Wright.

I watched the first 3 and didn't like them all that much. I was disappointed. Directors always have to change things from the books. Such as Harry getting the broom in the middle of the book, and in the movie, he got it in the end instead, which I find just lame. But that's just my opinion.
