Harry Potter stuntman badly hurt during the production of ‘Deathly Hallows.'Harry Potter stuntman has been badly hurt during the production of the latest film in the series, Aidan McGurran and Andy Rudd of the Mirror.co.uk report;

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double suffered a horror injury in a film set explosion yesterday.

The 25-year-old was rehearsing a flying sequence using a harness when he was sent plummeting by the blast, which was part of the stunt. He was conscious after smashing to the ground but told horrified colleagues: "I can’t feel my legs."

The 25-year-old, who doubles for Harry star Daniel Radcliffe, was sent plunging yesterday by an explosion that was part of the stunt.

A source said: "The stunt double was badly hurt. He was rehearsing a flying scene which involved an explosion and it seems to have gone badly wrong. The guy was rigged up to a harness for the scene and was flying through the air.

"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." Paramedics were called to the studio and the stuntman was taken to hospital amid fears he may have been paralysed.

The accident happened at the world famous Leavesden studios near Watford, where tests are being carried out on stunts for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (Source: Mirror.co.uk – Harry Potter stuntman suffers injury in film set explosion)
