Potter stuntman 'seriously injured'
A stuntman who doubles for Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is believed to have suffered a serious injury during filming, according to reports.
The accident happened on set at Leavesden Studios, near Watford, where the latest Harry Potter film, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, is in production.
The 25-year-old was performing an aerial sequence when he fell to the ground following an explosion which was part of the stunt, the Daily Mirror reported.
An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed: "Paramedics were called to Leavesden Studios after a man in his 20s sustained a significant back injury. He was stabilised at the scene and taken to Watford General Hospital."
Hospital staff refused to comment on the man's condition, but said he had been transferred to another hospital.
