Tragedy befalls Half-Blood Prince actor
No Dan related news, but very shocking.
BBC News reported this morning that Rob Knox, the actor who plays the role of Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was tragically killed late last night in London. Robert Knox was stabbed to death while intervening on behalf of his younger brother just outside Metro Bar on Station Road in Sidcup. Belby is known to Harry Potter fans as the Ravenclaw student who aspires to be a part of the Slug Club. It's horrible that something like this still happens in the world. Video of some friends laying flowers.

Film Review magazine interview (UK)
Daniel recently spoke with Film Review magazine about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and how he thinks he'll feel when he's finished with the films. Thanks to Jess on MySpace for letting me know.
Of Half-Blood Prince, he said,
"It will be very, very odd to suddenly not be coming back to Harry Potter," he said. "And I'll be sad to leave the character behind and not see on a daily basis the friends that I've made."
"Harry is unhappy for a lot of this film, mainly because people keep trying to kill him. And his love life is awful, too. That's what Jo [JK Rowling] does so well, combining everyday, mundane problems with this incredible other world."
