Dumbledore is Gay

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

J. K. Rowling, author of the worldwide best-selling Harry Potter series, met some of her American fans Friday night and provided some surprising revelations about the fictional characters who a generation of children have come to regard as close friends.

In front of a full house of hardcore Potter fans at Carnegie Hall in New York, Rowling, sitting on the stage on a red velvet and carved wood throne, read from her seventh and final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," then took questions. One fan asked whether Albus Dumbledore, the head of the famed Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, had ever loved anyone. Rowling smiled. "Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling as the audience erupted in surprise. She added that, in her mind, Dumbledore had an unrequited love affair with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort's predecessor who appears in the seventh book. After several minutes of prolonged shouting and clapping from astonished fans, Rowling added. "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."

In answer to the question "Did Hagrid marry?" Rowling replied that sadly, no. The half-giant had a flirtation with a giantess but she found him "a tad unsophisticated" and the relationship never went forward. In response to the audience's groans of dismay, Rowling said, jokingly, "OK, I'll write another book." And when the audience continued to express disapproval added, "at least I didn't kill him."


Other minor characters, according to Rowling, came to happier ends. Neville Longbottom, Harry's meek and hapless classmate, married Hannah Abbott, another classmate.

Michael Gambon (the actor who plays Dumbledore) is also gay.... I thought everyone knew that though.

Although he once said in an interview "I had to give it up, because it made my eyes water." :roll:

I gave up Harry Potter after the fourth book. That was when I realized the plot was always the same.

 

[PBarnum]

Everyone I talk to always gave it up after the fourth book. As did I.

 

[tehrilez]

[The Man In Black]

Everyone I talk to always gave it up after the fourth book. As did I.

I didn't give up at book 4, and you talk to me ;-)

 

[PBarnum]

Sorry, let me reiterate. Everyone who stopped reading, usually stopped at the 4th.

 

[Red Cell]

I stopped after the first.

 

[WeissberV]

i stopped at the 0

 

[The Man In Black]

In before "I stopped at the NULL POINTER EXCEPTION IN FUNCTION MAIN"

 

[HomestarR]

I just haven't had time to sit down and read the 7th yet.

 

[PBarnum]

In before "I stopped at the NULL POINTER EXCEPTION IN FUNCTION MAIN"

I stopped before #include

 

[The Man In Black]

Touché...

I stopped at the "vim HarryPotter.cpp"?

 

[Tentadrilus]

I stopped on 4(04: book not found). It explained the burning of the camp for about 100 pages. 'Things burnt. They were charred. They smoked and were crispy. There was smoke everywhere.' x1000000

I wonder how the actor who played as Dumbledore feels, if he's already found out about this... it'd be interesting, since, for all we know, he could have been a religious fanatic who hates deviancy from reproductive sexual preference.

Michael Gambon (the actor who plays Dumbledore) is also gay.... I thought everyone knew that though.

 

[The Man In Black]

Coincidence? I think not. Rowling planned this all... She knows something...

 

[Sabre]

Why would she know anything? Dumbass.
