Karl Bishop, the man accused of stabbing young "Harry Potter" star Robert Knox to death, was found guilty today. 

Knox, 18, played the role of Marcus Belby in the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." His attacker, Bishop, 22, stabbed him five times outside a London bar in May as Knox tried to protect his younger brother.

Bishop will be sentenced tomorrow.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is scheduled to premiere in theaters July 17. Knox’s role was his first movie appearance. Unfortunately, it also will be his only.

How sad!  I still don’t know why he did it?  No I take the back.  Don’t tell me.  I don’t think I want to know.

Very sad. It’ll probably draw more viewers to the film, a la Heath Ledger’s death prior to the Batman flick.

It may just be me, but the focus of this article seems to be Harry Potter instead of Robert Knox. “The father of Rob Knox, 18, who was stabbed to death in a fight outside a bar in Sidcup, said he was “always the first person to stand up to wrong”. Earlier Maggie Knox said her grandson, who had a small part in the new Harry Potter film, was a “big teddy bear”. ” (BBC) Rest in Peace, Robert Knox.
