David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived story
At its core, The Boy Who Lived is a coming-of-age story about David Holmes.
The man was a gymnast when he was young, and because of that was picked to act as Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double in every single one of the subsequent movies too. As a result, the two boys became close friends.
However on the first Deathly Hallows movie, the penultimate of the series, Holmes was injured. He was paralyzed because of the spine injury he received, and his life changed forever.
David said via Instagram: "Being a stuntman was my calling in life, and doubling Harry was the best job in the world. In January 2009, I had a stunt rehearsal accident that changed my life forever. This film tells the story of not just my achievements in front of camera, but also the challenges I face every day, and my overall attitude to life after suffering a broken neck.
"In the turbulent world we find ourselves living in right now, I would like to quote Harry; 'we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided'.
"I am only able to live because of the united love and support that I am fortunate enough to have had. And it is thanks to this love and support that I am able to share my journey with you all."
