Smartly Pretty Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 http://www.newsweek.com/id/50787 Crap that doesn't matter In front of a full house of hardcore Potter fans at Carnegie Hall in New York, Rowling, sitting on the stage on a red velvet and carved wood throne, read from her seventh and final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," then took questions. One fan asked whether Albus Dumbledore, the head of the famed Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, had ever loved anyone. Rowling smiled. "Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling as the audience errupted in surprise. She added that, in her mind, Dumbledore had an unrequited love affair with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort's predecessor who appears in the seventh book. After several minutes of prolonged shouting and clapping from astonshed fans, Rowling added. "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy." Other crap that doesn't matter Unrelated joke: Dumbledore should have rode around on a time machine broom called a Dumbleorean.
Smartly Pretty Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 Alternate joke: Now we know where he got all those Hogwarts from.
Nighthawk Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 That fucking bigot. Loving another man doesn't make you gay.
Smartly Pretty Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 I just noticed the author spelled astonished wrong.
Brett Favre Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Damn. Just because they're partners doesn't mean they're gay.
Richard Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 That fucking bigot. Loving another man doesn't make you gay. At least that's what you tell yourself.
Nighthawk Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I fuck men but don't love them. That's not gay either. It has to be both!
Gary Floyd Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 I'm still convinced that Harry Potter fans are lunatics.
Hoff Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 I hate people. I think it's cool that Dumbledore is gay; I don't see how this information warrants several minutes of applause. So he's gay, BFD. I find it 100 times more interesting he had an affair with Voldemort's predecessor.
At Home Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 He's gay? I was too busy not caring about the sexual preferences of fictional characters to notice.
B@RTOK Posted October 28, 2007 Report Posted October 28, 2007 I'm still convinced that Harry Potter fans are lunatics. Well I am a Harry Potter fan so that settles that.
Failed Bridge Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 this thread has been around far too long to not have a comment from Yuna
Nighthawk Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 She wasn't allowed to read them because they contained witchcraft, but she did find some HP slash art for me (funnily enough, none of which contained Dumbledore). I'm pretty sure that was her... I mean, who else would have found slash art for me?
