Sad news of yet another violent murder in Britain, this time with a celebrity connection. Rob Knox, a young actor who plays a minor role in the upcoming Harry Potter movie “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” was stabbed to death last night in a fight outside a London pub.

Knox plays Marcus Belby, a Ravenclaw student, in the movie which is scheduled to be released in November.

Britain has changed so much in the 20 years since I last lived there. There has been a huge rise in the number of murders, and weapons have become almost commonplace amongst some youth sub-cultures.
