hopeful-melancholy:

David Holmes was Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double for the first six Harry Potter movies, and he was set to be his stunt double for the final two movies, but while testing out a flying stunt (famous for being a very dangerous stunt in itself) for Deathly Hallows Part I, he was thrown against a wall, and fractured his neck. The incident left him paralysed for life from the chest down, with only limited movement within his arms and hands.
