A fight scene gone wrong during the filming of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has given the series' leading man, , his first injury. In a recent interview with French magazine One, the 20-year-old actor admitted, "Until now nothing really bad happened to me, only a few scratches. But I'm happy because I finally got a big black eye during the shooting of Deathly Hallows."

Providing more details on the mishap, the star of Peter Shaffer's play "Equus" recalled the scene he was supposed to be shooting before suffering the injury. "I was shooting a scene where Harry is fighting a huge snake," he said. "As you know, the Harry Potter films are big productions, so instead of an actual snake in front of me, our stunt coordinator held a long stick with a boxing glove at the end."

"He got me by surprise and hit me in the face," Radcliffe continued. "The blow was strong enough to knock me out! I saw the scene on slow motion afterwards, and it looks like I get hit like a real boxer. Really classy!" While he didn't specifically mention which scene is the fighting scene, Harry Potter Page suggested that it may be the Godric's Hallow scene in which Harry fights Nagini who was posing as Bathilda Bagshot.

This black eye apparently isn't the only injury Radcliffe suffered while filming the adaptation of the seventh book. Back in July while promoting "", the actor who has played Harry Potter since the first movie opened up to "" that he suffered a split lip when a stuntman hit a chair he was holding during "Deathly Hallows" shooting.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the seventh and final book of "Harry Potter" series will be made into two movies, "" and "". "Part I" is due for November 19, 2010 release in both U.S. and U.K., whereas "Part II" has been set for July 15, 2011 release. Both will see and returning as Harry's friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Sorry 2 say but the books are better than the movies. In the 4th why didn't Hermione make up SPEW. It's the best part of the movie. The 6th wasn't all that great ever. I mean Ron's house didn't ceach on fire! But other than that the movies are good. If the 7th is terrible you guys need a new director. Also tell the person how plays Lupin that he ROCKS!!!!!!!!! I love you Lupin. To bad you die. You were awsome.

All i can say is THANK YOU! The novels are ten times better then the movies, and the films are spectacular Thank you. I am just sorry it ended, if that brilliant mind can come up with more, don't hesitating to continue writing about Harry Potter and his life. Hes real to Millions. Again thanks to you who have written the screen plays for keeping it so close.

That injury happened over a month ago. This news is kind of old. Dan is definitely okay and is hard at work filming the movie. I think they just finished the scene in the Room of Requirement when they fight with Draco. And they also finished all the Malfoy Manor stuff.

JK Rowling isn't going to write another book. She planned it out as a 7 part story and it's done. I'm glad that she's not writing anymore books from Harry's POV. I think his story is done. But she did say she might be tempted to write a book from Albus Severus' POV...but she didn't say she would do it.

I'm glad Dan is okay. I can't wait to see Deathly Hallows. It's going to be wicked!!

it wasn't a black eye, it hit his upper lip 'eyes rolled back' and I guess he got a bleeding lip. Watch dan on regis and kelly this year, he mentioned that incident.

Uh oh, does that mean they are pushing the sequel. I really want the movie out so we can all see it.
