Harry Horror! Potter Stunt Double Severely Injured On Set
Filed under: Anglophilia > Film Flickers > Harry Potter
On Wednesday, the stunt double for Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe sustained severe injuries from an on-set explosion.
The Harry Potter crew were doing some pre-production work for the seventh wizard flick at the Leavesden studios in England, where the stuntman was rehearsing a flying sequence using a harness. He was apparently sent plummeting by an on-set blast, which was part of the mocked up stunt. He was conscious after smashing to the ground but told horrified colleagues, “I can’t feel my legs.”
Scary!
A spokesman for the studio said, “We can confirm a member of the Harry Potter production was injured in an accident. We are awaiting further news. Out of respect for the family we are unable to comment further.”
Set sources say the stunt man may have become paralyzed from the accident.
This is not the first time the Leavesden set has seen tragedy.
Back in 1993, Brandon Lee, son of kung fu legend Bruce Lee, was killed at the facility doing a stunt for the movie, The Crow.
Our thoughts go out to the recovering stunt man.

Re: harrybalsac – hahahaha muggle!
Maybe your "thoughts" to the stuntman could have included just the slightest bit of research in coming up with his NAME. I mean after you read the story on Drudge and then post it here as though it's breaking news, at lease include the guy's name as though he matters beyond what he does.
Re: harrybalsac – LOL Harry, you so funny!
Re: harrybalsac –

In response to the news, J.K. Rowling remarked: "Yes, it is rather sad. But sacrifices have to be made."
