"We've heard that the 'Harry Potter' stars have asked to come to Rob's funeral. 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."—John Knox, Daily Telegraph
