Default Rowling confirms Dumbledore was GAY!


Source - Yahoo News

Quote:
Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.

After reading briefly from the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she took questions from audience members.

She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."

"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.

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."

Dumbledore's love, she observed, was his "great tragedy."

Well, but in this instance, it is the sexual trait of the person she was talking about

Dont we have a Harry Potter in our midst, i wonder what he has to say about topic.

Atleast he wasnt a child abuser, that would have killed J K Rowling

Dumbledor was not the greatest character. He was a fool....

I would say serius was. Everyone else seemed too smart at one point and too foolish at another point. Only serius remained the same till the end.
