(K)nox: The Rob Knox Story is a British documentary about the life and murder of Harry Potter actor Rob Knox, who was killed in 2008. The film is directed by Aaron Truss and features interviews with Knox's friends, family, and colleagues in the film and TV industry. The film also highlights the knife crime crisis in the UK since 2008, after Knox's death. The title of the documentary is a reference not only to Rob Knox, but the Nox charm used in Harry Potter that extinguishes the light at the end of a wand.

Production

Director Aaron Truss was approached by Rob Knox's father, Colin Knox, to direct the documentary in 2018. Both Aaron and Rob were childhood friends, training to be young actors together at D&B Theatre School. A handful of interviews had been shot prior to Truss' involvement, with Truss beginning production on the documentary in 2018 with B-roll and new interviews. The first interview was conducted in 2019 with Ray Winstone.

Rupert Grint, David Heyman and David Yates attended a church service for Rob Knox after his death. At the service, both Heyman and Yates presented Colin Knox with footage of Rob Knox as Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this included bloopers and scenes he was involved in. This footage would be used in the documentary, including footage that Rob had filmed himself behind the scenes, provided by Rob's brother, Jamie Knox.

David Yates was instrumental in getting Jim Broadbent to take part in the documentary, due to the scene he shared with Knox in the Slughorn Supper scene in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. David Yates was also responsible for speaking to the Wizarding World, allowing the production team to film in Olivanders at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, where Rob Knox's name appears on a wand box.

Production wrapped in 2020 with Tom Felton as the last interview for the documentary. Felton was unable to meet with the film crew during the COVID-19 lockdown, so he hired his own crew to film his interview. The film was screened to Rob's family in private due to the emotional nature of the film. According to Colin Knox, everyone involved with the documentary "didn't ask for a single penny" whilst working on the documentary.
