Our thoughts are with Harry Potter actor and stand-up comedian Jim Tavare, who is in intensive care after a car crash left him with a punctured lung, a broken neck and multiple breaks in his right leg.

Tavare has a special place in Leaky’s hearts, as he portrayed Tom – The Leaky Cauldron’s Inkeeper – in Prisoner of Azkaban.

His wife Laura gave updates on his condition:

“Now that his family have been informed, Jim has asked me to let you all know that he was involved in a serious car accident yesterday, a head on collision.

“He’s currently in ICU intensive care. He has 15 broken ribs, fractures in breastbones, a pictured lung, multiple breaks in his right leg, and a broken neck.

“He’s had two blood transfusion so far and is about to go in for his first surgery.”

We hope for Tavare’s full recovery, and ask that you keep him in your thoughts on his road to recovery! Read the full story at the BBC here.
