J. K. Rowling Pays Touching Tribute To Orlando Victim

Harry Potter author, JK Rowling has sent flowers to the funeral of Luis Vielma, one of the victims of the Orlando Pulse gay club mass shooting. Vielma was one of 49 killed during a mass shooting at the Pulse gay club in Orlando, Florida last Sunday. Posted on Twitter earlier this week, Rowling noted that he had worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios.

“Luis Vielma worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal. He was 22 years old,” she wrote. “I can’t stop crying.” In a note accompanying the flowers for the funeral, the Harry Potter author said: “To Luis, who died for love, you will never be forgotten. J.K. Rowling.”

A friend of Vielma’s spoke at the tribute: “Tonight we are raising our wands to honour one of our fallen. Tonight we raise our wands to one of the greatest and best Gryffindors. He was kind and he was brave. He was one of the kindest souls you will ever meet in your life.”

Rowling has been retweeting tributes to Luis from those who worked with him at the theme park. She previously wrote that she couldn't stop crying when she found out that he was among those that had been killed.
