Dumbledore is gay.

I just finished rereading Deathly Hallows for the third time last night (and yes, I cried again, but then I watched The Next Great American Band, and that cheered me up) and it occurred to me that the only thing wrong with the Potterverse is its complete absence of gay characters. Then, lo! Rowling outs him.

She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. “Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” Rowling said of Dumbledore’s feelings, adding that Dumbledore was “horribly, terribly let down.”

Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason.

I love her so much.

    dont you think this is too little too late. i mean. out of the 100 minor characters she doesnt make a single one gay. then, after the last book is released, after he’s dead. she now decides to tell us he’s gay. i think its too little too late.
