HAHAHAHAHA

Funny thing.

NEW YORK - 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."

"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction."

Potter readers on fan sites and elsewhere on the Internet have speculated on the sexuality of Dumbledore, noting that he has no close relationship with women and a mysterious, troubled past. And explicit scenes with Dumbledore already have appeared in fan fiction.

Rowling told the audience that while working on the planned sixth Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," she spotted a reference in the script to a girl who once was of interest to Dumbledore. A note was duly passed to director David Yates, revealing the truth about her character.

Rowling, finishing a brief "Open Book Tour" of the United States, her first tour here since 2000, also said that she regarded her Potter books as a "prolonged argument for tolerance" and urged her fans to "question authority."

Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason.

I will be more happy if Rowling declared that SIRIUS is gay, rather than Dumbledore...

[Leventhan]

I hope she'll announce another HP character is either gay/lesbians soon.

I will be more happy if Rowling declared that SIRIUS is gay, rather than Dumbledore...

[Kokowam]

Guys, Sirius isn't gay. He's dead. And I bet Albus wanted to save Harry so he can umph him in the end but then he died. BUT when Harry kinda died at the 7th book he rapz0red him before Harry woke up into his subconscious.

First of all. Sirius wasn't gay as mastermoo pointed out. The only reason he didn't have a girlfriend is because the girl he set his eyes on (he won't admit it) was Lily Potter, before she married Jame's Potter. Later on he had to stay in hiding all the time. It's not like a dog can take a woman out to dinner. :/

As for Dumbledore being gay. ... I'm not denying this because of my Christian views. I'll go ahead and say that.

I believe that Dumbledore wasn't gay, and for a couple of reasons. The "proof" that Dumbledore was gay with his buddy (can't remember the guy's name x_x ) isn't proof at all. His "great loss" was the fact that he lost a great friend, and just about the only person he felt was as intellectual as him. He did not adore him "gaily"(sp?), the "adoration" he had for him was merely the admiration of one colleague for another. I mean come on, he spent his whole life with his liberal family who didn't think about things as deeply as he did. HE HAD NO ONE TO TALK TO. Until his friend of course. If you spent years trapped in a box with mice, wouldn't you jump at any chance you had to talk with a human being? When I say liberal, I use it concerning the background his family grew up in.

Another reason Dumbledore wasn't gay, has to do with something Rowling herself said.
"Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason."
Why would she say this? If she was fine with Dumbledore being gay, she would have no reason to say it. It wouldn't affect her at all. In fact, I think her publishers coerced her into saying this for the sole reason of more publicity. The statement she made was most likely a side note she made which showed that she cared what the Christian's thought of her book.

You may think me an idiot, but, having seen many "different" things in my lifetime, I have a pretty good insight into the human psyche.
