Harry Potter, and his magical world… This is a story that teaches you a lot at every step. ‘Harry Potter’ is not just a children’s comic book story, but this story by JK Rowling connects you with life and teaches you that no matter how much darkness there is in the world, at least one ray of light can come from somewhere. She goes and comes and shows you the way. This world comes out of the books and starts revolving around you and you realize that magic can happen not only in books but in real life too.
Harry is a child who doesn’t even know why he is special. Why is his name known to everyone in the magic world, and why does everyone call him ‘The boy who lived’? The boy Who lived… means the boy who survived. This title is also of the first chapter of this novel by J.K Rowling. Harry got this name because he was the only one who survived the curse of Voldemort and after whose arrival Lord Voldemort disappeared. In these films, the character of Harry Potter has been played by Daniel Radcliffe, but there was also a person on the set of this film who is actually that boy… who survived. Today we are going to tell you the story of one such person who sacrificed his body to make Harry a hero.
David Holmes performed the stunt
Daniel Radcliffe’s stunts in the Harry Potter films were performed by David Holmes. David is a very talented stuntman who played double role in place of Daniel Radcliffe in all the eight films. In the HBO series ‘David Holmes: The boy Who lived’, Daniel told the surprising story of David. She told how while shooting the scene for her, David suffered such a dangerous injury that he became paralyzed. In this show, Daniel talked to him and also asked about his journey, and also told about the story of how his life has changed after this accident.
There was an accident on the set of Harry Potter
The shooting of the first part of the Harry Potter film ‘The Sorcerer’s Stone’ was going on. Pre-production on the first film took place in a closed Rolls-Royce engine factory that had been converted into a movie studio. This was the first day of shooting. David tells that he will never forget this day. On this day he had kanam with everyone. Cut to the year 2009 when David was shooting for the eighth part of Harry Potter – Deathly Hallows Part 1. While shooting a scene, he was hanging on a harness and suddenly he fell from a great height and broke his neck.
David suffered an injury from which he could not recover. He remained in the hospital for several months. Today he is permanently paralyzed and his entire part from the neck down does not work. Now he takes the help of a wheelchair to even walk. While talking to Daniel in this show, David told that it is true that he will never be able to get up from the wheelchair. Although he says that living like this was never an easy task, but still he chose to live and he is living. Today 41 year old David lives in his own specially designed house in Essex.
