Harry Potter’s Dumbledore is Gay?!?
31 10 2007Albus Dumbledore was declared homosexual by the author of the infamous books by Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling.
You will not find this in the new and final book from the series, “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows” or in any of the previous books… on the contrary, the only thing you find is nothing except a mystery about the past of this Hogwarts professor.
It was October 19, infront of 1,000 followers of the Harry Potter series in New York’s Carnegie Hall during a lecture that Rowling responded to a question about the wizard’s love life saying that she has always thought of Dumbledore as a Homosexual. After a brief silence, the crowd responded with thundering applause!
She also stated that if she had known how they would have responded she would have anounced it a few years ago.
It so turns out that she went into a monologue explaining the falling in love of Dumbledore during his youth to another wizard called Grindelwald who ended up turning into a follower of the evil nemesis of the series called Voldemort. After suffering the pain of his love turning to the dark side, his heart was broken beyond repair when he had to confront his previous lover in battle, having to put him away for ever.
Although during reading the various books certain things might tip someone off to Dumbledore’s sexuality, there is no direct mention of his homosexuality and there is no incentive from Rowling to believe that he is Gay. It was only three months after closing the series forever that the author came out with this information publicly.
:Even though I have nothing against people’s sexual preferences, I do have something against an author who makes declarations about a primary character in the book well after the series is closed and having those declarations being completely out of context.
The true magic of Harry Potter is in the reader’s imagination and the power of completing the character’s with one’s own mind allowing everyone to find someone to identify with. By making statement’s like Rowling’s she imposes her ideas and thoughts over and above the reader’s already set ideas about the character. For me, Dumbledore will continue to be the great wise wizard with an air of loving grandfather much more than a broken, frustrated homosexual.
