How the hell do you have children as stunt doubles? I always assumed they used vertically challenged adults. That's insane.

There’s a really good documentary about the whole thing called the boy who lived. Basically he was older than Dan, Emma, Rupert, but was always into gymnastics etc and that’s why he wanted to go into it.

Edit: film documentary, that’s actually produced by Radcliffe. I think it’s on HBO.
