Actor Robby Coltrane was taken to an Orlando-area hospital after falling ill on his flight from London to Orlando, according to news reports. Coltrane played Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films and has been a frequent guest at Universal Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter press events.
Coltrane was scheduled to be among the Potter stars featured at the weekend's event, which also was scheduled to welcome Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), and James Phelps and Oliver Phelps (the Weasley twins).
Coltrane was to be kept overnight at the hospital for observation. No word yet on when he will be released or if he will appear at the event. (Update: Coltrane was not at the event's opening today.)
