LONDON (AP) -- A British teenage actor playing a minor role in the upcoming "Harry Potter" film was stabbed to death during a brawl in London on Saturday, police said.
Rob Knox, 18, was stabbed after he got caught up in a fight outside a bar in southwest London early Saturday, London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
Warner Bros., the studio that is producing the film, said it was shocked by the news.
Knox was one of five young men taken to various hospitals after the brawl, police said. Among them was a 21-year-old who has since been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The fight did not appear to be gang-related, police added, but it puts the number of violent teenage deaths in London at 14 so far this year.
If he hasn't finished all his scenes, they'd have to re-record everything with a new actor?? Or change the script and get him out ?? Or make the rest of the scenes with CGI??
His character was Marcus Belby, a Ravenclaw's student a year above Harry. Marcus appeared on the book when Slughorn invited Neville, Harry and Marcus to a meeting in Hogwart Express
His career was starting to blossom, but we'll never know if this boy could have became a big star. R.I.P.
