Between all the magical moments at this year's Warner Bros. comedian-Con panel,the most touching went back to the basics: actual, outright magic. When presenting the trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and star Eddie Redmayne didn't simply press play - instead,he and the cast gave out replicas of character Newt Scamander's wand and led the crowd in a chant of the illumination charm "Lumos Maxima." Every Potterhead in the packed corridor H (which seats 6500) lifted their new wand to the sky and recited the charm, and the result will give you chills.

The act of Potter fans lifting their wands together is a symbolic one,often serving as a heartfelt memorial in times of darkness. But despite all the insanity in the world lately, this inspiring moment at the comedian-Con panel was one of celebration, and welcoming a new era of JK Rowling's magical world. Say it with us: "Lumos Maxima!" Now,where can we find one of those cool new wands? THE NEW ERA OF THE WIZARDING WORLD #FantasticBeastsSDCC pic.twitter.com/UDjvnc5vXYJuly 23, 2016
