Harry PotterA stunt double for "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe has been seriously injured after falling while trying to fly.

The accident happened in the UK during a flying scene in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the last Potter flick. The 25-year-old, whose name has not yet been released, was doing a flying stunt, reports the Telegraph, when there was an explosion -- and he fell to the ground.

An ambulance service rep says the guy suffered "a significant back injury." The film's studio confirmed the injury.

It was while filming the last movie in the series. The Half Blood Prince is being released on July 17, 2009. The stuntman was hurt while filming the very last movie according to AP.
