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.

I really did not see that coming. I mean there was always something odd about him and they never mentioned if he found love or not but...hmm.
