On Friday author J.K. Rowling revealed that one of the characters of her novel is gay! You might have heard by now that Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore fancied his rival Gellert Grindelwald who was later offed in a battle between the good and bad wizards.
“Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” Rowling said of Dumbledore’s feelings, adding that Dumbledore was “horribly, terribly let down” and that his love was a “great tragedy.”
J.K. Rowling was here in Toronto on Tuesday for a book signing and publicity event. I’m sure she spent most of her time answering questions about Dumbledore.
And where is Dumbledore now? We hear he might be in Barcelona shopping, but that could just be yet another rumor.
I think it’s awful that so many people are getting so upset about this news (if you want to call it news).
I just wish she would have included it in the books. It feels kind of cheap that she added it in after the fact. It shouldn’t count if she just says it.
Dumbledore is gay? Maybe he can get together with Daniel Radcliffe…who seems so flaming he needs a firehose!
