Rob Knox, 18, who had played the part of Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was stabbed as he tried to protect his younger brother from being attacked. Knox died in hospital later that evening.

This story is so sad! Rob Knox had just wrapped on the Harry Potter movie and life looked grand for him. What a waste!

It is sad but IMO it is not any worse than any of the other deaths like this one. Just because he was an actor doesn´t make it any more (or less) tragic.
