Harry Potter Actor Nick Moran Undergoes Emergency Spinal Surgery
## Harry Potter Actor Nick Moran Recovering After Emergency Spinal Surgery
British actor Nick Moran, known for his role as Scabior in the *Harry Potter* films, has undergone emergency spinal surgery and is now recovering at home. Moran, 55, experienced neck pain which he initially dismissed, but his girlfriend urged him to seek medical attention. A doctor's examination revealed damage to his spinal cord, leading to a life-threatening situation requiring immediate surgery.
According to a statement from Moran's representative to PEOPLE, the surgery took place over a week and a half ago and was successful. The representative confirmed that Moran is now home, walking and talking, and making a full recovery. He is expected to return to work on his next film soon.
Friend and podcast host Terry Stone, speaking to the Daily Mail, initially described the situation as life-saving, stating that Moran faced the possibility of never walking or talking again. Stone detailed that the surgery involved an incision in Moran's spine and the replacement of four neck bones with artificial ones. While initially expressing grave concerns, Stone later provided updates, confirming Moran is speaking and recovering, although still experiencing mobility limitations and wearing a neck brace.
Stone's initial account, shared on Instagram and later detailed to the Daily Mail and The Independent, highlighted the urgency of the situation. He reported that Moran had been rushed to the hospital for the "life-threatening" condition. Subsequent updates provided by both Stone and Moran's representative paint a more optimistic picture of his recovery.
Beyond his *Harry Potter* role, Moran's extensive acting career includes appearances in films such as *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels* (1998) and several upcoming projects. He is also a singer, fronting a Frank Sinatra tribute band. While the full extent of his recovery remains to be seen, current reports indicate a positive trajectory toward a full return to health and work.
