Author J. K. Rowling has revealed the character Dumbledore, from the moderately successful Harry Potter series, is a homosexual.
"I always thought Dumbledore is gay," she said and explained that the character had fallen in love as a young man with Gellert Grindelwald, who later became a rival.
Rowling said she had already revealed Dumbledore's sexuality to David Yates, director of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, after seeing a scene in the script in which Dumbledore reminisces about an attraction to a young woman.
She said she crossed it out and wrote "Dumbledore is gay" over that section of the script.
Not having read the books this means nothing to me, but I know many here have, so. . . . Discuss!
