Harry Potter: Daniel Radcliffe at the head of a documentary on David Holmes, his double paralyzed during filming

Variety magazine announced Tuesday: Daniel Radcliffe is preparing a documentary on his faithful double, David Holmes, who found himself paralyzed after an accident on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 (released in 2010). ).

Named “David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived” (in reference to Harry Potter's nickname), the series will highlight the ex-stuntman's 11 years of work, offer never-before-seen images from the shoots and discuss his friendship with the main actor Daniel Radcliffe. In addition to his multiple interventions in the documentary, Daniel Radcliffe will be the executive producer, explains HBO. Scheduled for November, the documentary will be released on Warner Bros. Max platform, which is not yet available in France.

Recruited at the age of 11, the two men grew up together on film sets and maintain a very special relationship. After seven films and eleven years of performing the riskiest stunts for his friend, David Holmes was forced to stop everything in 2010 after a terrible accident on the set of the penultimate Harry Potter film.

Hit in the spine, David finds himself paralyzed from the waist down, and must draw a line under his cinema career. It was his “extraordinary spirit of resilience” which allowed the actors and technicians to find the strength and motivation to finish the saga. David Holmes has since started producing a podcast, where he discusses the risks of their profession with stunt doubles and stuntmen.
