Well, Rowling did feel that need to out Dumbledore after the fact.
I’m not saying this guy is a drug addict — I don’t know if he is or not. But that sure sounds like classic pot addled thinking.
May I be the first to say that this guy is so blinded by Marxist ideology that he can't see the nose in front of his face?
Could anyone with a lick of sense think that Maggie Thatcher's world is a world of comfortable suburban conformists?
LOL! Well, not really. If anything, they're a diatribe against Chamberlain's Britain, and a validation of Winston Churchill.
That’s what I was thinking.
She espouses the concept of personal responsibility and self defense, while some the less amiable characters refuse to espouse any notion of these.
Of course the series isn’t named after Dumbledore, nor is his infatuation portrayed as anything other than tragic.
Actually, their decline precedes the nutty professor, but I don't think he helped.
Just spent the summer and early fall reading them all.
They are a great read. Seven years of character and plot development.
Besides, she creates this amazing world of wizardy that is Tolkien-esque.
WOrth the time.
Actually, Dumbledore released a statement through his spokesman yesterday denying that he is gay. He’s threatening to sue Rowling.

And also generic, unenlightened Leftist 'thinking' which is usually indistinguishable from pot-addled thinking.
From the article:
"Harry's uncle and aunt - Muggles par excellence - live like heroes of Margaret Thatcher's world, in a neat little estate where all the houses are identical," he said.
Only a committed Leftist who knows nothing of Conservatism would think that it's a Conservative ideal for all houses - and by extension, all people - to be the same. In fact, it's Socialism that has always pushed rigid uniformity in all aspects of life and it's Conservatism and Capitalism that enthusiastically encourages innovation, imagination and risk-taking.
This guy has it all exactly backwards.
tell that to Bill.
Yeah but she also killed the gay guy. What does that say?
I found Potter to be more Libertarian. Order of the Phoenix is a tale of the battle against political correctness.
Well said Stoat.
JK Rowling is a lefty. She once belonged to Amnesty International, she stuck out against Christians and President Bush after Katrina.
I suppose you can document that?
Go google it or look at her blog for bio.
Read the LA Times when she called Christians on the right biggots.
“Order of the Phoenix is a tale of the battle against political correctness.”
Absolutely.
Also, a strong case for an armed citizenry, though as an elite, “enlightened” Brit, I doubt that Rowling would admit she is arguing strongly on the side of us rube American NRA members.

Breaking News!!!
Dumbledore arrested in Minneapolis airport soliciting sex from an undercover cop in the men’s room.
I don’t really care about Amnesty International.
However, I do know that in many, many, many articles her comments about Christians, and supposedly about President Bush have been misquoted and misinterpreted.
I’m not saying you’re wrong. But I’m not doing your homework for you. If she said those things, you ought to be able to provide documentation.
