The man charged in the stabbing that led to the death of actor Robert Knox, who plays Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in the upcoming film “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” has been convicted according to reports by The Associated Press.

The actor’s stabbing took place outside of the Metro Bar in London last May. Knox was killed trying to defend his younger brother. He suffered from five wounds and died later that same day.

At the time of the incident, the 18-year-old had just finished filming the latest installment of “Harry Potter.” The actor had also signed on to “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” to return as the Ravenclaw student.

Knox’s mother, Sally, read a statement in court saying, “As a mother and parent, I can never forgive the person responsible for taking my son Robert’s life, or the devastation that has been caused by these actions”.
