Harry Potter Director David Yates Opens Up About David Holmes' On-Set Accident, And Daniel Radcliffe's Planned Documentary

David Holmes in The Boy Who Lived.

News broke recently about an upcoming documentary film focused on David Holmes, a stunt performer who was injured on the set of the 2010 film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Holmes spent years as the stunt double for Daniel Radcliffe on the Harry Potter films. Now Radcliffe is participating in the documentary The Boy Who Lived, which will tell the inspirational tale of Holmes’ recovery and successful life, post tragedy. A new trailer for the documentary was released recently, which we will include below. But as chance had it, Deathly Hallows director David Yates was a guest on our ReelBlend podcast the day that the documentary was announced, and we were able to get his thoughts on Holmes, Radcliffe, and the documentary.
