Filming his scenes for 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', Daniel Radcliffe says he has received a black eye, which he considers his first injury when shooting the wizard film series.

Young actor Daniel Radcliffe has experienced his first injury during the filming of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Talking to One magazine in a recent interview, the 20-year-old star admitted that he received a black eye when he shot the last installment of the "Harry Potter" film series.

"So far, I never had anything too serious happen, except a few scratches," Radcliffe said. "But I'm happy because during the last film, 'Deathly Hallows', I finally got a big black eye [laughs]. I was shooting a scene where Harry fights a giant snake."

Recalling the accident, the movie star claimed, "It is well known that the Harry Potter films are huge productions so instead of a snake in front of me, our lead stunt man had a long stick at the end that had a boxing glove attached to it." He then continued, "I was taken by surprise and I got a good blow to the face that knocked me! I saw the scene in slow motion then, and it looks like I'm spread out like a real boxer. It had a lot of class [laughs]."

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be divided into two films. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" will be released in U.S. theaters on November 19, 2010, while "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" will come out on July 15, 2011.
