Tonight while at work, a co-worker as me if I had heard the news about the stabbing death of Harry Potter in a brawl. WHAT?! I was shocked to say the least. She was not sure if it was true or not but she thought she saw the headline flash across the CNN ticker earlier today. Thank heaven she asked me this with 15 minutes before closing time, I do not think I could have withstood 8 hours not knowing if the report was true or not. Of course, this would not be the first time one of the actors in the franchise had met with tragedy. Prior to the theatrical release of the second movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Richard Harris who played Professor Albus Dumbledore passed away. Subsequently, Michael Gambon has played the role in the remainder of the films.
However, it was not Daniel Radcliffe himself. Another young actor named Robert Knox (who just completed filming his scenes as Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) was untimely struck down outside a London tavern over something as trivial as a cell phone. Senseless, tragic.

This would be how rumors start… Kudos to you for doing more research on the subject before sharing it. I had already read about this, so I was wondering where you were going with it at first.
I remember when that one actor was killed filming the sequel to The Crow. Brandon Lee was it? Not sure- that name just came to me.
precisely. Brandon Lee indeed son of Bruce Lee who also died myseriously
An interesting site with stories of many of Hollywood’s untimely demises:
