LONDON, June 2 (UPI) -- British actor Daniel Radcliffe and other stars from the "Harry Potter" film franchise reportedly are to attend the funeral of a slain supporting player.
Rob Knox, 18, finished filming his role in the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" shortly before he was stabbed to death in a dispute outside of a bar in England last month.
"We've heard that the 'Harry Potter' stars have asked to come to Rob's funeral," Knox's uncle, John Knox, told the Daily Telegraph. "It will be a fitting tribute to Rob. He looked up to them and told us how much he admired them all. It was his dream to be an actor and I have no doubt given the time and the training he would have made it. He was a great lad and we are all missing him so much. We still can't quite get out heads around the fact that we'll never see him again. Our family has been torn apart by his death and I don't think it will ever be the same again."
A 21-year-old man has been charged with killing Rob Knox, as well as with wounding five other people, the Telegraph said.
