JAKARTA - Daniel Radcliffe tries to tell Harry Potter a different point of view. This time, he was behind the camera to talk about Harry Potter with his successor, actor David Holmes.

Launching Deadline, David Holmes suffered chest paralysis down due to a spinal cord injury due to an explosion in the production of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 film which made him fall to the ground.

Holmes' story will be photographed in the documentary HBO Original David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived. This documentary was produced by Radcliffe and directed by Dan Hartley.

Holmes' experience has inspired Radcliffe and other stunt team members. This documentary also highlights Holmes' journey as a professional gymnast in Essex, England.

David Holmes will tell his part along with former stunt team and Daniel Radcliffe. Holmes, who announced the documentary, said the Harry Potter franchise was the best job in the world.

"I can live because of the love and support I receive. And all this is for the support and love that I can share my journey with you," wrote David Holmes.

In an interview in 2017, Daniel Radcliffe revealed his friendship with Holmes since they worked together at Harry Potter.

I've been in touch with Dave for years. And I hate to see people look at me and Dave then say, Oh there's Daniel Radcliffe with someone in a wheelchair because I don't want them to take Dave as anything despite the fact he's an important person in my life, said Daniel Radcliffe.

The documentary titled David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived will be released on November 15 and is available streaming.
