Smartly Pretty 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoff 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
