| | |  Injured Harry Potter stuntman's family speaks out
The family of 25-year-old David Holmes, stuntman and double for Daniel Radcliffe, issued a statement about Holmes' recent accident on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at Leavesden Studios in England. Quote:
"We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We are trusting in the expertise of the medical staff who are caring for David and would ask the media to please respect the privacy of our family while we concentrate on helping each other through this difficult time."
Holmes reportedly seriously injured his back when he took a fall while performing a stunt in the air during which there was an explosion.
The government agency Health and Safety Executive is currently investigating the accident. | |

Ouch :/ To be honest I had just heard a little buzz but I thought it wasn't true. I hope he gets better soon.
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Oh noes :/
Is this the same stunt double from GoF?
Hope he recovers soon, nothing is impossible!
Look at Orlando Bloom, they told him he wouldn't be able to walk again
after falling and breaking his back, and he's been running around like crazy in heavy armour so far  | |

David's been Dan's stunt double throughout the entire series.

i thought it was a mistake to begin with as they were speaking about the filming of HBP which is over, and i didnt know they were filming as radcliffe is in usa but i hope he gets better soon with no lasting effects
