Harry Potter film marred by stuntman injury

The filming of the latest Harry Potter epic - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - has been jolted by what seems to be a very serious injury to the stunt double of Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

The man in his 20's sustained the injury during the filming of an aerial sequence at Leavesden Studios, near Watford, UK. He was rushed to nearby Watford Hospital and is being treated for a serious back injury.

This is not the first time a Harry Potter production has been hit by bad news, last year Robert Knox who played the role of Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was stabbed to death in London.

We at 15 Bytes send our best wishes to the young man.
