Potter Stuntman's New Role: Disability Advocate

David Holmes, who once doubled for Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter films, is now a leading voice for disability advocacy. Holmes sustained a paralyzing injury from the waist down during a stunt rehearsal in 2009 while filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." He has since channeled his experiences into impactful work, including writing a book and participating in a documentary.

His advocacy efforts extend to fundraising and promoting accessibility, notably through an annual charity cricket match that benefits a hospital that treated him. Holmes is also exploring initiatives to make events like music festivals more inclusive, aiming to provide accessible spaces for disabled individuals. He believes hope is crucial and encourages sharing vulnerabilities as a source of strength.
