Daniel Radcliffe's "Potter" Stunt Double Maybe Paralyzed After Accident

Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double has suffered serious spinal injuries on the set of the latest Harry Potter film.

David Holmes was rehearsing a flying scene involving an explosion when he plummeted to the ground.

He remained conscious but told crew members: 'I can't feel my legs.' He was taken to hospital as fears grew that he had suffered a paralysing back injury...

Mr Holmes, who has worked as Radcliffe's body double on all the Potter films, was initially taken to A&E at Watford General Hospital, but transferred to a specialist spinal injury hospital when the extent of his injuries became apparent.

yeah i'm soo sorry to hear this but ,what p i s s es me off is the fact that action actors get paid mill.of dollars and they dont even do anything,all the stunts are done by extras and yet they get s h i t for money and dont even get recognized.
