Harry Potter and the gay headmaster


Yes, Dumbledore is gay. J.K. Rowling said so.

Wonder how this will affect all those teenagers (and older Muggles) who are Potter fans. Will this bring them out of the closet themselves, will this psycologically damage them, will this bestow on them a love for rubber suits? Hmmm…

NEW YORK (Reuters) – J.K. Rowling has outed one of the main characters of her best-selling Harry Potter series, telling fans in New York that the wizard Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts school, is gay.

Speaking at Carnegie Hall on Friday night in her first U.S. tour in seven years, Rowling confirmed what some fans had always suspected — that she “always thought Dumbledore was gay,” reported entertainment Web site E! Online.

Rowling said Dumbledore fell in love with the charming wizard Gellert Grindelwald but when Grindelwald turned out to be more interested in the dark arts than good, Dumbledore was “terribly let down” and went on to destroy his rival.

That love, she said, was Dumbledore’s “great tragedy.”
“Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” she said.
