ROB KNOX – MURDER

Harry Potter fans will recognize Rob Knox as Marcus Belby, a member of the Slug Club. Outside of the Harry Potter universe, Knox appeared in many British TV shows such as I’m a Teenager, After You’ve Gone, Trust Me, and The Bill. Knox was supposed to reprise his role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but he was stabbed to death outside a pub in London. His younger brother got into a brawl, and Knox stepped in to defend him and was brutally murdered by the attacker.

Lawyers quickly took on his case to give justice to the young actor. Knox’s murder attracted much media attention, and Karl Norman Bishop, the person who took his life, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if he is gone, his legacy has been preserved. There is a Rob Know Film Festival to reminisce him and Rob Know Foundation that helps young people learn arts.
