Since everyone else is talking about it, I figured I’d throw my opinion into the ring.
So Jo Rowling announces that Dumbledore is gay, which explains a lot about the Grindelwald story, which I found a bit confusing.
My guess is that Rowling has always known that DD was homosexual, but she just forgot to mention it. Either she thought it’d be obvious to the reader, or she just didn’t realize that she hadn’t explicitly mentioned it in the 1,000s of pages that make up the seven books of the Harry Potter series.
That said, I’m sad that this will give the crazies more ammunition against the books. Witches and hexes and homos….oh my!
What do y’all think?
BTW, What the Hell? has a much more thoughtful analysis of DD’s sexuality from her unique Pixie Dyke pov.
