During Universal Orlando's Celebration of Harry Potter this weekend, fans enjoyed attractions, guests, and a first look behind the scenes of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

There was also time for some solemn reflection, though, on the recent loss of Hollywood giant Alan Rickman, who played Hogwarts instructor Severus Snape in the eight Harry Potter feature films.

The Inside the Magic blog managed to capture a video of fans from around the world, raising their wands in a tribute to the late actor:

Rickman passed away on January 14 after a battle with cancer. He worked up until shortly before his death.
