QUOTE After reading briefly from her mega-selling book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on Friday night, Rowling took questions from an audience of 1,600 students. A 19-year-old from Colorado asked about the avuncular headmaster of Hogwarts School: 'Did Dumbledore, who believed in the prevailing power of love, ever fall in love himself?' The author replied: 'My truthful answer to you...I always thought of Dumbledore as gay.' The audience reportedly fell silent - then erupted into prolonged applause. Rowling, 42, continued: 'Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald [a bad wizard he defeated long ago], and that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, do we say it excused Dumbledore a little more because falling in love can blind us to an extent, but he met someone as brilliant as he was and, rather like Bellatrix, he was very drawn to this brilliant person and horribly, terribly let down by him.' She added: 'Yeah, that's how I always saw Dumbledore. In fact, recently I was in a script read-through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying, "I knew a girl once, whose hair..." I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, "Dumbledore's gay!"' http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/sto...2196020,00.html

Lol.
I was watching tv last night, and at the bottom of the screen was tv news stuff and all of the sudden I saw 'Dumbledore is gay' I thought it ment the guy who played Dumbledore, but apparently not. |

haha... interesting. I never expected that. *shrug* but I suppose it was somewhat strange that no "lover" of his was ever mentioned openly.

I think someone should edit the topic title in case other people don't wanna know. Put a spoiler warning as well, although I know it wasn't really a part of the books...it could be devastating to some people!
God, remember when Jason made a "SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE" topic? I just about killed him. |

QUOTE(CowerPointyObjects @ Oct 21 2007, 03:00 PM) That makes no sense, Gigi...it isn't spoiling anything. Well, it is indirectly related to the plot. Have you read the article? Dumbledore's sexuality comes into play when we know that he's was in love with Gellert Grindelwald. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of background knowledge, but people who haven't read DH might be ticked, since there's really not much mention of it in the earlier books. |

But it's still not really relevant to anything. I mean, sure, if you know that it's the only way it makes any sense, but seriously, the book came out in JULY. It's now October. If someone hasn't read the book by now, they have no right to object to "spoilers," because time goes by and it becomes common knowledge. Anyone who considers themself enough of a fan to care should know to read as quickly as possible because the rest of the world isn't just going to wait around for them to catch up.

Yeah, found out about this on Friday. I wasn't surprised since Dumbledore never has romantic relations with any women in all the books. I don't think Rowling should have made him gay, though... It's just more of a reason for institutions that ban her books to keep banning them.

Today during Math, my friends kept talking about it and I was like oh really? I guess it's true but I don't mind. It's not gonna change if another HP movie comes out. They also mentioned that Gandolf in Lord Of The Rings is also gay too. |

I still think that it explains why he was so passionate about running with a guy who had a character/personality he wouldn't have normally condoned. The epilogue was dreadful. DREADFUL. |

I also really liked it better when I thought he was asexual and just no one was good enough for him. This is kind of weird to me...maybe just cause it's difficult for me to think of an old man as gay. I don't know...it's just difficult.

If folks put half the effort they put into fiction into real news (well, as much as America produces *complete real news*, but that's a totally different rant) then as a whole we'd be a hell of a lot more informed. Oh and I wouldn't have minded a little Tonks/Lupin/Sirius action, but I digress.  XD |

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).

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.

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.

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.

I thought he was too good for that. 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).

This is kind of weird to me...maybe just cause it's difficult for me to think of an old man as gay. I don't know...it's just difficult. So, like, he'd reproduce by himself? :PAnd psssh, I'd hella buy a novel that's geared toward an older audience. Twice. |
