Daniel Radcliffe Spotlights “Harry Potter” Stunt Double Paralyzed in 'Terrible' Accident in Emotional Doc Trailer

'David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived' is on Max Nov. 15

Daniel Radcliffe is sharing the story of the man who helped him fly as Harry Potter.

On Wednesday, HBO debuted the trailer for the documentary David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, about David Holmes, Radcliffe's stunt person from the Harry Potter films.

Holmes was a teen gymnast when he began working in stunts on the Harry Potter movies and met Radcliffe, now 34, as a child. He worked on each of the eight Potter movies, but an on-set accident while making 2010's Deathly Hallows: Part 1 left Holmes paralyzed.

The trailer opens with Holmes, who has used a wheelchair since the accident, reminiscing on working as a stunt performer. Archival footage shows his skills as a gymnast and him and other stunt performers spending time with Harry Potter's cast and crew. Clips from the years since shows how the experience affected Holmes.

“This terrible thing happened to Dave, but I don’t want to talk as if his life is a tragedy," Radcliffe says in the trailer. "The way his life has affected the lives of people around him means that it is the furthest thing from that imaginable.”

Holmes calls being Radcliffe's lead stunt double "the best job in the world," during the trailer, and Radcliffe adds that Holmes "seemed like a cool older brother" during the productions.

"As Daniel and [David's] closest stunt colleagues rally to support David and his family in their moment of need, it is David’s extraordinary spirit of resilience that becomes their greatest source of strength and inspiration," reads a synopsis for the documentary.

The film features "candid personal footage shot over the last decade, behind-the-scenes material from Holmes’ stunt work, scenes of his current life and intimate interviews with David, Daniel Radcliffe, friends, family and former crew" to share his story, according to the synopsis.

The trailer features snapshots of a number of Potter actors. Tom Felton is seen posing with Radcliffe and Holmes in one photo, along with James and Oliver Phelps, Matthew Lewis, Bonnie Wright and Rupert Grint, as Holmes says he was was "able to find the light in the darkest of places" after his injuries.

Both Radcliffe and Holmes are executive producers on the documentary, which takes its title from the nickname applied to Harry Potter throughout the franchise. The movie was directed by Dan Hartley, a filmmaker who worked on the crew for each of the Potter movies.

David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived premieres on HBO Nov. 15 at 9 p.m. ET and will stream on Max.
