“Magic Reunited: Tom Felton’s Surprise Cricket Cup Photo Sparks Harry Potter Fan Frenzy!”
£2,425 (approximately $3,206) was raised out of a £20,000 (approximately $26,438) target on GoFundMe as of Thursday (August 29).
David was treated at the RNOH after he was left seriously injured and partially paralyzed from an accident during the filming of a stunt test for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in January 2009.

The 40-year-old, who began his stunt career when he was just 14 years old and qualified for the Stunt Register when he was 22, became an Appeal Ambassador for the RNOH Appeal in 2013 after being treated.
The money donated to the RNOH will go towards The Spinal Cord Injury Centre, dedicated to comprehensive rehabilitation for people who experienced life-changing spinal cord injuries, David wrote on GoFundMe.
According to the former stunt performer, the Centre needs funds for its outdated Day room to create a space that enhances the well-being of patients, promotes community, and elevates morale during recovery.

David revealed that his former co-star Tom played in the first David Holmes Cricket charity game in 2009, as Slytherin Captain.
“Since then he has supported our Charity Cricket Cup and this year he will play in his 7th match as a member of Team Slytherin!” the actor-turned-writer informed.
