I was leaning more to married bisexual but predominately straight.

It happens.

I still cant believe it and I figured it out ages ago.

Ha. I thought they meant the actor who plays Albus was gay.
But anyways, There's no point in making a fuss about it. I dont really enjoy the idea of old people having sex.

When I mentioned this to someone the other day, she thought the same thing, but was confused because he'd died. As if they didn't replace him

He's dead?
God Dammit...

The original actor. The guy playing Dumbledore in the first three movies isn't the same as the one in the 4th and 5th (maybe the third; it's been a while since I've seen it... I can't remember).

Michael Gambon started playing Dumbledore from the 3rd movie and on.

Really? I didn't notice the difference (I'm horrible)
I'd heard the guy died when I was younger, but I thought it was just gossip.

He was the perfect Dumbledore. I mean, Dumbledore doesn't start going over the edge till later in the books.

I knew there was something fishy about that guy! Especially when he told Harry he loved him and started crying...

lol when i first heard this it was on E! news.
All it had was showing daniel radcliffe's face, and saying that someone on harry potter was gay. . . so i assumed, oh okay, daniel radcliffe is gay. well, not to suprising there i guess. . .

lol, but dumbeldore being gay. . .
hm. . . i'm not too suprised,
it seems to fit into his character.

well what about... TOM RIDDLE? AKA VOLDEMORT?? i always wondereed about him..if he ever had a femal lover. i remember in the book dumbledore said something about him being fond of the snake nagini but i've always wondered if he ever had a human lover say when he was in school or something. they did mention he was very handsome back in those days.

Yeah, I didn't really see this coming either. O.o

I have to ask though, what's really the big deal? Does it affect your sentiments towards him now? Just curious. I think it adds to his mythos.

"Watch your back, lads."

Nah. I think JKR said in an interview that Voldemort hadn't loved anyone but himself.

Aww, poor guy. And he did it for his kids. Oh well, at least he doesn't regret it.

um, wasn't that a HUGE part of why Harry was able to defeat him because he could LOVE and Voldy couldn't?

so i guess voldy was incapable of human emotions. i wonder if he stayed a virgin ahis whole life..

It's not that he's gay, it's that he has a specific sexuality...I always saw him as asexual. No one was good enough for him. He admired the beauty in some women but their intelligence and wisdom wasn't up to par for him. So, the fact that he fell so in love with someone he admired brings him down to normal-person level when I thought him to be superior. He's just like the rest of us, and that's a letdown for me. I thought he was too good for that.

Riddle totally swings that way. Notice how he casts spells with a limp-wrist. *nod*

I think that's more indicative of the fact that he doesn't have to try very hard to cast difficult spells, not that he's gay.

Well I don't know about that; the last book was enough to show us that Dumbledore was a lot more fragile and fragmented than he appeared. DH already sufficiently made me feel that he was a lot like a normal person. We sort of place him on a high pedestal, but sometimes we forget that he's just a wizard (a very powerful one, but mortal nonetheless).

While Voldie was definitely a non-lover, he could be gay. You never know. He could lust after, be attracted to other people...I'm willing to bet that there would be tons of women lined up for him. Or men, you know, whatever. This being Voldie, he'd throw them away after using them. He probably found power in satisfying himself while demoralizing another person. This is not love.

Of course, these are purely theories...This is why I sometimes wish Rowling wrote a less kid-friendly book. Just so we could find out about these things...

See, I like that it made him more human. I know what you're saying Sammi and yes, he did have this untouchable quality. I just like that in all this mysticism and mythology, there's some grounding as well and bringing to light his sexuality made him more real (for lack of a better word).

I would love for her to write for an older audience, although she'd probably lose a great deal of sales.

Wait, so now both Tom AND Dumbledore are gay?

No...we're joking about Tom.

So, like, he'd reproduce by himself? :P

And psssh, I'd hella buy a novel that's geared toward an older audience. Twice.

Totally off topic, but HI KAYCEE!

I didn't say asexually reproductive...I said asexual. Without sex. He's not a starfish.

Wait..
Daniel radcliffe is gay?
when did that happen?

...huh?

It didn't...

See i need to stop reading tabloids..

oy.

^I go ouch when I look at your sig. And I want to turn away, but I can't.

ANYWAYS.
I love the angry conservative parents making a big deal about this. "I NEVER LET MY CHILDREN READ THIS GARBAGE. IT'S THE DEVIL'S WORK!!!!"

HI REBECCA!

Diana, I was about to KILL you.

Good God, woman! xD

Dumbledore Makes Confused Boys Get STDs!

I lost what little respect I had for this franchise when I heard this. Jeez...

^Why?

I'm so slow. I didn't hear about this till the other day.

In other news: Flitwick is a convicted child molester, Ginny is a nympho and Filch is into bondage.

Great..

Well, Filch does like violence and likes the idea of whipping/torturing students. That could work. :P

yeah, i read that when it came out. but i don't really care. i never even considered dumbledore to be a sexual being. he's a character in a book. but i still love harry potter.

he is so the man
