Some very tragic news today, CBBC Newsround and many other sources report that actor Robert Knox has been killed. Robert played Ravenclaw Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince. The 18 year old was stabbed:

outside a bar in the early hours of Saturday morning, in Sidcup in south-east England. Robert died after he was taken to hospital. Police have confirmed that a 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Warner Bros, the company behind the Potter films, said: “We are all shocked and saddened by this news and at this time our sympathies are with his family.”

My prayers are with his family and friends so they can get throuh this difficult time.

Thanks to all who emailed me.
