Luis Vielma was only 22 years old when he was killed at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub early Sunday morning. By day, Luis worked at the “Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey” ride inside the Hogwarts castle at the Universal theme park.

On Monday night, hundreds of Universal Studios workers – as well as Potter fans – stood outside the castle and raised their wands (and cell phones) in order to pay tribute to their fallen friend.

Earlier that day, JK Rowling shared a picture of the late Universal Studios worker on Twitter, expressing her deep grief at his death.

Luis’s co-workers also placed candles along the line to the ride in his honor.

The entire staff of the castle showed support and love. This was met with even more support from staff members from other parts of the park.

Wizards and muggles at The Wizarding World in Los Angeles also raised their wands in support of their Orlando team.
