You will almost certainly all know Harry Potter and his protagonists, who for years have kept us in suspense with their adventures. However, not everyone knows that many events happened behind the scenes of the saga, some of them unfortunately very sad. Among these we cannot forget what happened to David Holmesthe stuntman of the protagonist Daniel Radcliffe, who was paralyzed during the filming of The Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Now, the man will be honored with a documentary, entitled David Holmes – The boy who lived. Let’s find out what it is.
The documentary | David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, the documentary dedicated to Daniel Radcliffe’s stuntman
There are events that can change our lives forever. This is exactly what happened to David Holmes during the filming of one of the chapters of the saga, dedicated to the most famous wizard of all time. The stuntman and gymnast, who lent his body to the protagonist, worked on the saga right from the first film, until the day of that tragic accident, which led him to a partial paralysis. The event not only shook David, but also Daniel Radcliffe himself.
The new film, however, is not a documentary that wants to dwell on the misfortune that occurred, but aims to show the constancy and incredible strength of a man who, despite what happened to him, never allowed himself to be overwhelmed by events, rather he was a pillar for the people around him too. There will then be space to talk about the beautiful friendship that was born and never ended between the stuntman and the actor Daniel Radcliffe, as well as several interviews with friends, colleagues and family and numerous moments filmed behind the scenes of the films in which Holmes participated.
