London's Metropolitan Police confirmed that Harry Potter actor Rob Knox was fatily stabbed early Saturday outside a London bar. Knox, 18, plays Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in the upcoming film "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince," the sixth installment of the popular series set for release in November. Family and friends have paid tribute to teenager Rob Knox who was stabbed to death in a bar fight in London. Shocked friends of the 18-year-old gathered at the Metro bar in Sidcup where the incident occurred. A 21-year-old man who suffered facial injuries is in police custody on suspicion of murder. Rob's cousin Vicky May, 16, said the former Beths Grammar School student was more like her big brother.
"You never think it will happen to you. Rob wasn't a thug, it wasn't gang-related. Everyone loved him. He was more like a brother, he would always look out for me. He was friends with so many people."Rob's friend Tom Hopkins, 18, said he pinned down a man with a knife outside the bar with friend Tarik Ozress, 17. Tom was stabbed in the head during the fight. He said: "Rob was just trying to help out. He was like that. I grabbed the knife, I didn't know at the time that he had another knife. It was just chaos." Four people, all male, were taken to local hospitals after the Station Road incident.
