TPToA Podcast 346 – David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived

The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast

In 2009, during the filming of the 7th Harry Potter film, Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double David Holmes, broke his neck on one of the combat stunts. This doco looks into Davids life, his recovery and the people who surrounded him on his journey. There’s no JK here just a story of friendship and perseverance and hope. Catch a Nimbus 5000 with us and let’s enjoy a brighter side of the Wizardless World.

Jill, Peta are doing the truly cunning stunt of being sensible and excellent reviewers. Meanwhile Quinny is over here trust-falling off a shit accent.

When stunt double David Holmes injured his spine test filming for the penultimate ‘Harry Potter’ movie, his career came to an end, but his inextricable bond with Daniel Radcliffe did not.
