To know why Robbie Coltrane and Michael Gambon would be on the same flight to Orlando
It's reported that RC was hospitalised after the flight due to being taken I'll on the flight.
The Harry Potter fan weekends have been going on in January for a few years now, no excuse for journos to have to "wonder" why two HP actors were flying out.

Why does this bother you so much?

Not a convention and I'm bothered because I'm not there !
It was the mail and another site, not really surprised about their lazy journalism.

You're surprised that the mail displayed lazy journalism? In that case, may I take this opportunity to mention that bears have been known to defecate in arboreal environments?

Not just the Mail though. At the height of public concern about Charioe Hebdo killings, Je Suis Charlie etc the Times did a review of celebrity dresses at some awards ceremony and wondered in print why Helen Mirren had a pen attached to her dress. It was referred to as an odd fashion choice and 'anybody's guess' why she was wearing it. I do wonder sometimes if journalists read any news outside of their own area of interest.
