When your star shines as brightly as Alan Rickman’s, you’re bound to touch a lot of lives. After the actor’s death on Thursday, fans paid tribute to the icon.

As we reported yesterday, Rickman died of cancer this week at the age of 69. In the linked article, we showed you various tributes to the actor from those who knew him personally, like his Harry Potter co-stars, author J.K. Rowling, and countless others who have had the privilege to work with and know him. Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) wrote a particularly moving goodbye.

Though we never knew him personally, fans of Rickman’s various roles are grieving alongside his friends and family. It’s not hard to feel as though you know someone when they pour their heart and soul into their work. This is especially true when it comes to franchises like Harry Potter, which sits so close to the heart. Rickman’s role in the films may have been a complicated one, but it doesn’t make his contribution any less moving. Yesterday, we also looked back on his time as Severus, Hans, and more.

But the tributes don’t stop there. Sometimes Tweets and Facebook posts are not enough to mourn and celebrate someone who has left us, leading fans to do something more concrete, whether it’s raising their wands in honor of a fallen hero or creating a piece of artwork to immortalize a great man. Below, we’ve gathered just a small portion of the incredible remembrances fans have put together in honor of Alan Rickman and his legacy.
