LONDON (AP) - A British teenage actor playing a minor role in the upcoming "Harry Potter" film was stabbed to death during a brawl in London on Saturday, police said.

Rob Knox, 18, was stabbed after he got caught up in a fight outside a bar in southwest London early Saturday, London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

Knox played Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in the upcoming film "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince," the sixth installment of the popular series set for release in November.

Warner Bros., the studio that is producing the film, said it was shocked by the news.

Knox was one of five young men taken to various hospitals after the brawl, police said.

Among them was a 21-year-old who has since been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The fight did not appear to be gang-related, police added, but it puts the number of violent teenage deaths in London at 14 so far this year.

Wyatt, why don't you perform a Google Search or read The Armed Citizen in America's First Freedom and find out how many crimes have been prevented due to the presence of a firearm. There is also a book called "Guns and Violence The English Experience" that you might enjoy. You are a knee jerk moron. Grow a brain and quit accusing people of not being patriots because they are more educated on gun laws and gun control issues.

patriot do you comprehend anything that you read? Who said that people cant be killed by a knife? No where in that post does it say the government should suppress anyone's right to defend themselves! Personally i think all should be packing heat! You have got to be the biggest knee-jerk moron that posts on these threads! If you are an example of what patriots are, its no wonder things are as bad as they are! Anyway this particular kid went out partying and gotinvolved in a brawl which he could made the choice to walk(run) away from! Also if guns had been involved in this brawl, innocent people not involved in it could have been injured/killed as well!
