He Really Likes The Wizard Wand

Filed under: Harry Potter

_39367963_dumbledore.jpg

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling delighted and stunned the world on Friday when she announced to a pack house at NYC's Carnegie Hall that Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore is gay.

Like, duh!

The shocked audience gasped and then then applauded, prompting Rowling to say, "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."

She should have told us sooner! That would have been so wonderfully inspiring to have a character in one of the major children's literary franchises of our time be gay.

J.K. also revealed that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, who he beat in a battle between good and bad wizards long ago.

"Falling in love can blind us to an extent," she added, saying Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down" and his love for Grindelwald was his "great tragedy".

Harry's gay too, right???

Definitely at least bi!

    for some reason, i didn't think he was gay…..just thought he was the fatherly older guy……of course, there's gonna be people ranting and raving about him being an old pervert working at a boarding school for young kids…..

    Let's see how long it will take for stupid people to start banning the book. It was fine for them when they did't know the truth but I'm sure the homophob idiots will start to make a big deal out of nothing.

  40. Ange says – reply to this


    40

    Oh JK why did you have to go and do that? It's ruined the mystery surrounding Dumbledore for me. I will never look at him the same way again…. Not homophobic AT ALL I just liked the character as he was.

  41. bobby says – reply to this


    41

    Maybe this will shut up the fucking complainers who are always whining about the lack of gay characters in the books.

  46. emily says – reply to this


    46

    maaarrrrvelous news! i was shocked when i read it earlier this morning. and hey rachel–it doesn't ruin a damn thing.

    thanks perez! xx

  47. Em says – reply to this


    47

    It's great that she's doing this, whether or not she really planned it while writing. It's obviously not going to eradicate homophobia, but for the most popular book series of all time to have a beloved gay character will have to make an impression on at least a certain amount of kids who grow up reading HP books…

  48. beccaboob says – reply to this


    48

    I was totally shocked when I read the news. I mean, I always wondered why he didn't have a wife or anything. But I believe this is really cool. Hope people don't get TOO pissed of about it and try to ban the series even more. Also, Harry's not gay no matter how much you would like to bone him Perez

  49. Jason says – reply to this


    49

    Those Christian websites that think Harry Potter's allegedly satanic are going to go buck wild with this one.

  50. goober says – reply to this


    50

    That would explain his ….errrr……interest…..in Harry.

  51. lar says – reply to this


    51

    So did he bone Harry, like a regular pedophile would?

  52. w/e says – reply to this


    52

    Ok first off, Idk about Harry being gay.
    But Im not a big Harry Potter Fan.
    This is not really big for mee.
    Soo w/e
    But Im boredd. :]

  53. I'm Lame says – reply to this


    53

    Aww crap! Does that mean Michael Gambon is gonna start to play the character gay? I keed I keed! I don't think anyone who likes the books is gonna care much. Makes Dumbledore even more interesting. All the crazy hag ladies that hated the book before are gonna hate it more now but who cares?

  54. marty says – reply to this


    54

    Is she going to write a rape scene between Harry and dumbledore. That would be hot.

  55. sassysnake says – reply to this

    Well, duh. Either that or he was asexual.

    oh and i agree with MEDRANOCHAV!
    i like the name too

    58

    Re: maria
    Maria, He can barely get his fat arse out of bed to write this blog. When he does manage to do it (in between parties and personal appearances) he doesn't spell check it. Do you really think he has the intelligence to sit down and read a book cover to cover? Nope. Dr Seuss is about the level of his limitations and THAT'S only with his mom looking over his shoulder to correct him on the L-O-N-G WORDS.

    He's not saying Dumbledore is gay. Jo Rowling is. Would you like to take any issues up with her?

  61. jasey says – reply to this


    61

    and out comes the enraged homophobic nuns and yuppies now wanting to ban harry potter from any child that lays eyes on it.

  62. ashley mashley says – reply to this


    62

    please….admit something like that after the fact, after the series is already finished. sounds more like she wants to sell more books. who cares anyway now? now that the books are finished? is mcgongal gay? she never had a love interest. what about snape and hagrid. wait maybe hagid was gay as well with his "brother" gwap.
    what a load of crap.

  64. WTF? says – reply to this


    64

    That old man is supposed to be gay? that's nasty, i can't blv she put in something so unecessarily and i bet the reason y she didn't say it sooner was b/c she knew ppl would've been pissed and not brought as many books. cash hungry cow.

    This is ridiculous. She can make up whatever she wants and it doesn't even have to fit in with the books….Some things are best left to the imagination.
    This ruins the books for me. Please LEAVE HARRY POTTER ALONE!!! hehe

  69. Her Publisher says – reply to this


    69

    Well, I guess she thinks she's sold enough books. Does Dumbledore have a spell to shave Harry's balls?

  70. madam pince says – reply to this


    70

    Most cool about Dumbledore! However, Perez, Harry is married and the father of three by the end of the series … sorry to dash your hopes. Although, with your pathetic mind-set, you'll probably always claim he's in the closet.

  71. Krystal says – reply to this


    71

    why are you celebrating the fact that a child molesting queen has been outted? Its disgraceful pandering at its lowest.

  72. Fakidsma says – reply to this


    72

    Just because someone is gay doesn't make them a pedophile… nor does it take away their ability to be a father figure.

  73. BT says – reply to this

    Why does a children's book or character have to involve sexuality?

    76

    So Dumbledore takes it up the anus huh. I am sure all the kids will be happy to know that.

  77. Eryn says – reply to this


    77

    Ok Dumbledore is gay. Who cares… no big deal. Just enough ALREADY with this of course Harry's gay, no wait bi. I have nothing against the gay community but I'm counting down how long it takes before Hollywood goes into gay overload. Seriously some homosexuals just don't seem to get it, that as annoyed as they are about being called derrogatory names and such, that possibly straight ppl are fed up with being called gay. You are calling ppl something that they are not and honestly that's no better then someone calling you a fag. I mean seriously ppl if some ppl don't feel ready to come out or want to period. LEAVE them ALONE! They obviously don't have the balls to do it yet.

  78. BT says – reply to this


    78

    Re: MH – Seriously, like I said… why do children need to know this about anyone. Nice responsibility to your reading audience Rowling!

    1. Duh.

    2. I'm a bit surprised that Remus wasn't outed. We all know that Tonks was just a beard. Remus was gayer than a summer morning.

    85

    Re: R.C. – I think i've met you before RC. Remus was not gay. Sirius possibly, that one was never answered. Why do ppl like you and Perez have to always make someone GAY.

    You only RP homosexual Remus. Just tell me that you are not one of those RP whores who plays out the same story line with Remus and his lover Sirius all over the HP RP circuit of lj and gj? I don't think I could take it.

    88

    I don't understand how people are equating Dumbledore being homosexual with his interest in Harry. The man was not a pedophile. In the context of the stories his sexual prefance was not relevant at all, sure it could've been mentioned to further slander him but it wasn't.
    Ms. Rowling probably didn't find the need to 'out' him in the stories and only did so when asked a question.
    Unfourtantely this will give the anti-Harry people more ammunition against the series.

  89. Jess says – reply to this


    89

    What a cheap bitch! She never told us this before because she knew that millions of moms would not want their kids reading a book with a gay character. Now that she has stopped making Harry Pothead books she is trying to reach another market group; The Gays. Fucking whore.

    wtffff realllyyyy ??

  91. kswan says – reply to this


    91

    Try reading the books, Perez. Seriously, reading is GOOD for you and keeps your mind sharp. Harry isn't gay, neither is Ron– so read it to find out what the fuck you're talking about. Just because two boys are friends doesn't mean they're gay, or else every man is queer like you, right?

  92. That was lame says – reply to this


    92

    Way to take a great kids series of books and ruin it. It's a KIDS series, why does sexual preference need to even come into it at all???? Good grief!

    Wow, I really have to say how sorry I feel and unfortunate it is that ANYONE with ANY morals at all, can condon gay sex. Are we as people ever quickly going down the drain. Of coarse I am not perfect (no one is) but…there is nothing more dispicable than that! NOTHING should go UP the anus! Only out the anus!! Don't you poor sorry souls get it???

  99. wtf is this stupid shit says – reply to this


    99

    yeah how retarded is this?

    a fiction, a made up storybook character, with made up life,… 'is outed'
