Daniel Radcliffe in The Woman in Black

A Kent schoolgirl appears in the shocking first scene of the new Daniel Radcliffe film that goes on release this weekend.

Ellie Walker-Reid's character jumps out of a window and kills herself in The Woman In Black.

Her mum, Tamara Walker-Reid, said: “She did her own stunt for that jump.
“She has appeared on TV and stage before, but this is her first major film.”

Ellie, 11, right, of Rectory Lane, Saltwood, appears in the very first scene with two screen sisters in an Edwardian-era bedroom.

They are possessed by the warped woman ghost and throw themselves out of a window.

In reality, the child actresses had a soft landing on thick mats below.

Ellie, who attends St Edmund’s School, Canterbury, later reappears in the film as a ghost.

The production, made by classic Hammer horror filmmakers, stars Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe.

It was premiered in London and went on general release yesterday.

Ellie, her mum Tamara and dad Andrew, and sisters Aimee, 15, Lucia, seven, and other family and friends attended a private showing at Eureka Leisure Park, Ashford earlier this week.

Ellie has previously appeared on TV advertisements with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and on stage in productions of The Sound of Music.
