OlderDumbledore is Gay!
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling outed Hotwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore at last night’s talk at New York City’s Carnegie Hall.
A young fan asked during the Q&A if Dumbledore finds true love and Rowling responded, “Dumbledore is gay.”
The audience gasped, some burst into applause, others gave a standing ovation.
Added Rowling, “Dumbledore fell in love with rival Gellert Grindelwald… Don’t forget, falling in love can blind us. [He] was very drawn to this brilliant person. This was Dumbledore’s great tragedy… 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… [laughter]. I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, “Dumbledore’s gay!” [laughter] If I’d known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!”

Cool, I love the Harry Potter Series!!!!
what… the money is letting her going crazy!!!Dumbledore gay??? Ridiculous.Caracters with personal sexuality. She should be cracked when she said that or written something like it.
Damn it, there goes my theory about Dumbledore and McGonagall.
this is so amusing. haha. (:
Can I just say to all those asking “Why did she say it, why?!” She was at a Q&A session with fans & one person asked her about Dumbledore’s love life…him being gay is a part of his love life so it makes sense to announce it if someone had asked…I think it’s cool, kind of fits the character in my opinion.
that is so silly and unnecessary for a children’s book, she is obviously trying to compete with the LOTR films
Amy, grow up.
J.K. Rowling clearly tried to explain how Dumbledore’s attraction for his enemy blinded him. It makes sense - and if it offends you, too bad. Now go write your own book.
LOL! I hope the religious right all break out into a**holes and sh*t themselves to death.

Well, actually she doesn´t need to compete with “Loed of the rings”.
Harry Potter is way more popular than LotR ever was- and it´s not even finished yet.(not to mention not around as long)
For once your answer and name go hand in hand.
how does she know he was gay?
is there a sex tape?
Thank you Get Over It. Amy really needs a dose of maturity…colors his relationships, what? I doubt Dumbledore was smitten with everyone he met especially Harry. He is a child for crying out loud. Is Dumbledore now a pedophile? Did his assumed straightness color his relationships with Hermoine or any of the other female cast? As for certain Christians, she has already separated herself from those who are fanatic and filled with hate for others.
Oh and to Silly it is slightly unnecessary for adult relationships, straight or gay, to be explicit in Harry Potter and thats why it wasn’t. It was a Q&A and she answered. It makes sense Dumbledore was never married and he followed a path completely out of character with his nemesis. It was good explanation.
Geeze people are so ignorant.
Gosh … I’ve seen it, but still ‘Gosh’ … Kinda Stupid ?! Dumbledore’s sexuality is not reall the point, is it ? Although, it’ll be great if he could say: ‘I knew a girl once’ … But anyway, Jo’s the Best… She knows it !
Love Harry Potter.
omg that is so cool i cxant believe he is gay lol i just cant believe it i thiught he had a thing with mcgonogall i guess i was wrong haha this is amazing another reason i love the series
Awesome!
well… that’s kinda creepy. now i think of dumbledore’s intimate relationship with harry as perverse & inappropriate instead of fatherly or nuturing.
and JK’s timing sucks considering they just arrested some crazy gay pedophilic teacher in thailand this week.
but i shouldn’t be surprised considering the man wore a glittery gown with stars and a hat. maybe he showed the kids in detention more than his wand…
WHO cares if he is gay, it’s just dumbledore…
Now if it was someone else, like Harry or Remus. I would see why we should all care.
That’s just really stupid..
I think she has officialy going nuts!
Actually the whole 7th book wasn’t wort it..!
I’m a biig Harry Potter fan.. but.. She’s just putting the story lower and lower anytime she can!
For god’s sake Jk!..stop making Harry Potter so bad..!
I’m so upset about this
It’s funny.. I mean.. you will never expect that from the “Greatest Wizard”.. but she’s making it all look stupid..
It just sucks tat she said such a stupid thing after that very dissapointing last book..
so.. It’s just sad
GOSH!
HOW STUPID AND SENSELESS WAS THAT???
SHE COMPLETELY SAID THAT OUT OF POINT!
I didn’t see that coming. I wonder what the cast thinks of this.
How abt Voldemort’s sexuality? He never had a fling with women, not that I remember from any of the books. He always chased his enemies with passion, mostly men. He was brought to Hogwarts by Dumbledor himself. I think he definitely was gay, that Voldemort.
I am not a homophobe, I live in NYC. I regulary see gay couples on the streets of Chelsea. I try to be open minded, yet somehow I feel uncomfortable in their presence, particulary when they are kissing. Its kinda disturbing to look at.
Gay people are a reality, not something which exists only in Hollywood. I am really confused about my stand on this issue. I truly believe in equal rights for all humans, gay, straight whatever! Yet feel uncomfy when they kiss and make out around me.
Giving my own standing ovation.
WOAH! O_o
How beautiful is that? Dumbledore take´s it up his little pooper !!!!
