Harry Potter actor Robbie Coltrane has been admitted to hospital in Orlando, Florida, after falling ill with flu-like symptoms during a flight.

Paramedics met him off the flight from London and rushed him to hospital where doctors said he would remain overnight.

Coltrane's agent told the BBC the actor was "resting" and would "be fine", but that more information on his condition was not yet available.

He had been travelling to a Harry Potter convention at Universal Studios.

The actor is best known for playing Hagrid in the film adaptations of JK Rowling's boy wizard book series.
