Delightful Shock !! It totally fits, and I certainly would have said it half-joking. I'm just seriously surprised that she said it publicly!
Answering a question posed to her at tonight's book reading at Carnegie Hall in New York, Harry Potter author JK Rowling said she "always thought Dumbledore was gay" and that he originally fell in love with the wizard Grindelwald.
Rowling also said she had read through Steve Kloves' script for the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and corrected a passage in which Dumbledore was reminiscing about past loves by crossing it out and scrawling "Dumbledore is gay" over it.
Upon hearing her response, a hush fell over the audience in attendence and then applause exploded. Rowling remarked that if she had known that would be the response, she would've revealed her thoughts on Dumbledore earlier.
and from later down in the account:
Jo ... unequivocally stated that Snape was "bitter, vindictive and mean."
I'm kinda surprised by this too... although it's definitely how I feel.

Gah - I get annoyed with her actually. I wish she would have bothered to put things into the story in the first place. She might be the author, but until it gets published in a story, it just a theory, like anyone else's. I would have welcomed learning about Dumbledore's orientation in the books.
i suppose this goes to explain why, as we learn in book 6, dumbledore was such a snazzy dresser in his youth. :-) |
