David Holmes, a talented stuntman and double for Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter film franchise, played a pivotal role in bringing J.K. Rowling's iconic story to life on the big screen. He executed some of the most memorable action sequences, including becoming the first person ever to play Quidditch in the Wizarding World. His life took a dramatic turn during a stunt rehearsal for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, when an accident left him with a broken neck and left him paralysed from the chest down. From his beginnings as a junior gymnast to a Hollywood stuntman, David’s journey is a deeply honest story of resilience. Though he lost everything, he discovered new possibilities through love, friendship, and optimism. He later co-created a BAFTA-nominated documentary about his life, and authored the new book "The Boy Who Lived."
