'Potter' set reopens after stuntman injury
Production on the latest Harry Potter movie has resumed following an accident which left a stuntman seriously injured.

Filming on Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows was halted after David Holmes plunged to the ground while rehearsing an aerial sequence last week.

The 25-year-old, who is Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double, was taken to a North London hospital after complaining of paralysis in his hands and legs.

A Health and Safety Executive spokesman said: "We have carried out a site visit and the set has now reopened. The investigation is ongoing."

Earlier this week, Lewis thanked the public for their support and vowed that he would return to work.

The latest instalment in the Potter franchise, Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, will be released in the UK on July 17.
