Harry Potter's Robert Knox is stabbed.

An 18-year-old actor in the forthcoming Harry Potter film has been stabbed to death during a fight outside a London bar.

Rob Knox, who plays student Marcus Belby in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, due out in November, was killed today in a scuffle in the south-eastern suburb of Sidcup.

Police said a 21-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The fatal stabbing takes to 14 the number of teenagers violently killed in the British capital this year.

Campaigners and politicians are worried about the spate of teenage killings.

In a statement, Knox's parents Colin and Sally said: "Rob was kind and thoughtful and would always help out others.

"The life and soul of the party, he was very outgoing, loved sports, and would always strike up a conversation with people.

"He was respectful to others and adored by all his family and friends."

Film producers Warner Bros said: "We are all shocked and saddened by this news and at this time our sympathies are with his family."

A man came to the bar in Sidcup armed with two knives and was seen waving one of them around through the window.

A scuffle broke out and Knox and his brother Jamie were reportedly trying to protect each other.

Several others sustained knife wounds.

The brothers' friends Tom Hopkins, 18, and Tarik Ozress, 17, managed to pin the armed man down, wrestling with him for several minutes before police arrived.

Hopkins, who was stabbed in the head, 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."

Knox was taken to hospital and pronounced dead.

Friends said there had been a row over a phone last week and believe it could have been a revenge attack.

faces don't listen to begin with, those would be the ears (which are attached to your head, and not your face), and in the first place: you read text, you don't listen to a book for instance (unless you are one of those mouthbreathers that "read" audiobooks).

i also don't hate gays, i only call you gay because it gets you to the point where you spew your uneducated bullshit opinion all over the place. anyway i figure you are going to reply again because ur a faggot, duh.

@thaPrimus Talk to the hand co's the face aint listening, anyway you're the one who admitted to the disliking of gays. Goodbye, simply silly man.

@LightLife4

you are the one who brings up your preference towards men, i could care less. and yes i did say preference towards men, because you like guys more than girls, deal with it.

and i'm sorry, because you lost; you don't get to take home any prizes, i'll give you this complimentary basket with variety colored dildos for you to have though, so when you are at home crying you can always get your mind off things by tickling your prostate you immense hateful faggot.

lol

@thaPrimus Here we go again, honestly what is it with you and sexuality? anyone would think you're actually trying to come-on to someone. Right, I'll tell you what, how's about this 'conversation' ends co's lets face it it's going nowhere and you've already show your true colours (ignorant, bigoted, stuck-up, pompus) and you're hardly likely to change anytime soon. I'll leave with with your pride as it seems to be the only thing you have about you, as for scores, I seriously don't give a toss.

@LightLife4

i agree that you need to work on that aspect, but don't look back on that; you probably have some good aspects about you (besides the gay, being old, being a douche, having the social skills of a brick wall, 'losing' over youtube comments, lol)

whilst we are on good qualities, what kind of good qualities do you have? the game is over, i won; i'm going to let you try and even even the score now.

[LightLife4]

@thaPrimus I dear, I think this game's best of over as someone's being very immature and insists on acting like a stubborn child. Whoever's the benefactor of this message is in dire need of maturity (a.k.a you thaPrimus).

[LightLife4]

@thaPrimus Whoever get's this message I'm in the lead by a LONG SHOT and i'm not easily fooled.

[thaPrimus]
