The Boy Who Lived : Harry Potter Changed My Life, with a foreword by Daniel Radcliffe

See all formats and editions

David Holmes was the first to play quidditch for real on a Wizarding World broomstick.

As Harry Potter's stunt double, his amazing gymnastic skills saw him earn onscreen immortality jumping off buildings and dodging fire bursts to bring Harry's story to life.

Growing up alongside Daniel Radcliffe, they became like brothers.

The entire team was like a second family. Then tragedy struck. During the making of Deathly Hallows Part 1 a stunt went badly wrong and David's spinal cord snapped.

He was only 25 and would never walk again. Sixteen years later, the pain can still be excruciating, his muscles are wasting, and he requires round-the-clock care. His future may seem bleak, but David has accepted his new reality, with all the different possibilities, purposes and powerful human connections that have come with it. His candid and inspiring story shares his life before and after, showing us the importance of making the most of every day, and the good that can come out of even the worst of circumstances.
