Upcoming Harry Potter Star Dead

Whoa! I had just gotten news from this post that a new Harry Potter star has died in a brutal attack.

Robert Knox is playing the role of a Ravenclaw student, Marcus Belby (I wonder if there's such a character, gotta hit the books again) in the upcoming film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Seemed like he died while trying to protect his brother from a knife attack. Such a heroic boy yet he had to meet with such a tragic end. I hope the attackers are duly caught and brought to justice.

When the film opens in Singapore, I will look out for any scenes that contain Robert. It was such a wonderful opportunity for him to snag a role in the Harry Potter movie franchise but now it's all gone.

This kind of senseless killing should be stopped at all costs in order to prevent the loss of innocent lives. Young people are especially vulnerable to such attacks since these attacks often happened in area which are mostly frequented by young people.

To the family of Robert Knox, my sincere condolences to you.

To Robert Knox, rest in peace. You will forever be remembered in all Harry Potter fans' hearts.
