J.K. Rowling, author of the world-wide best-selling Harry Potter series, met some of her American fans tonight and provided some surprising revelations about the fictional characters who a generation of children have come to regard as close friends.
In front of a full house of hardcore Potter fans at Carnegie Hall in New York, Rowling, sitting on the stage on a red velvet and carved wood throne, read from her seventh and final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," then took questions. One fan asked whether Albus Dumbledore, the head of the famed Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, had ever loved anyone. Rowling smiled. "Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling as the audience errupted in surprise. She added that, in her mind, Dumbledore had an unrequited love affair with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort's predecessor who appears in the seventh book. After several minutes of prolonged shouting and clapping from astonshed fans, Rowling added. "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."
In answer to the question "Did Hagrid marry?" Rowling replied that sadly, no. The half-giant had a flirtation with a giantess but she found him "a tad unsophisticated" and the relationship never went forward. In response to the audience's groans of dismay, Rowling said, jokingly, "O.K., I'll write another book." And when the audience continued to express disapproval added, "at least I didn't kill him."
Other minor characters, according to Rowling, came to happier ends. Neville Longbottom, Harry's meek and hapless classmate, married Hannah Abbott, another classmate.
My girlfriend made me watch the original Equus. I guess she thought that it would turn me on (it didn’t and that picture is disturbing).
Well, that’s sick and sad, as is the audience reaction. Applauding Perversion A today, applauding Perversion B tomorrow.
You would have thought that Longbottom would have been someone who would have worked under Dumbledore, if you know what I mean.
It was called "friendship" something that homosexuals have called into question due to their deviancy.
LOL
Well he did smoke a fag in book 6
If anybody would know for sure it is humble!
code ping
Ohhhh and Ms. Rowling in your mind which character was the Gay, Child Molesting, Polygamist, who conducted an abortion on his mothers cloned fetus after he pulled the feeding tube from his aids infected husband? huh, huh, which one..
Maybe she’ll write one in her next adventure...
Attack on family values?
No not the Great J.K. Rowling ... never...
Noooooo! Surely it was Luna! I could really see them with a bunch of half-a-bubble off kids!
Rowling said, jokingly, “O.K., I’ll write another book.”
Please don’t bother
He ain’t gay.
He’s dead.
And fictional.
Dead fictional guys are ranked very low on the homo scale.
So, a fictional character in a fictional book is fictionally queer? Yea, that’s important....
Sorry! I said “as I understand it.” I may have been mistaken. Please don’t shoot!
However’ the comment about Ian McKellen is correct.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Reichenbach falls, Sherlock Holmes.
When you really want to move on from a character/series...
