Those Harry Potter fans amongst you can breathe easy: Daniel Radcliffe is okay. His stunt double, on the other hand, not so much…

This guy on the left, Harry’s stunt double David Holmes is is bad shape.

From the Daily Mail:

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 paralyzing back injury.

An explosion, which was part of the stunt, caused him to fall to the ground.

A source said: ‘It is thought he may have been caught by the explosion and hit the ground very hard.

He told crew members who went to help him he couldn’t feel anything from the waist down.

‘Everyone is just hoping he makes a good recovery. It has come as a terrible shock.’

And the absurd part of the story is that the crew has decided to stay mum out of consideration for Holmes’ family, so the Daily Mail moves on to the next most-notable thing: It is not known whether Radcliffe, who is currently in New York, has been made aware of the accident.

Yeah, I really hope Daniel Radcliffe is kept abreast at all times. Idiots.
