Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071020/ap_on_en_ot/books_harry_potter)

It was an off-hand comment. There isn't really much textual support.

^ So are you saying that JK probably doesnt mean he was gay since she just said it and nothing was written about it in the books?

I belive I speak for a number of people when I ask:

Who cares? :P

Can we please not just let the Harry Potter phenomenon die off now?

Well from a narratological standpoint I think that what's actually contained in the books is paramount. I haven't read the last one yet though, so I can't really comment how well its supported.

Honestly, I've gone through the first 6 books without caring one way or the other about Dumbledore's sexuality. Snape's is more questionable in my opinion...

Snape's is far less questionable after you've read the last book, I won't spoil though. :lol:

I never thought of his sexuality, it just doesn't come to mind while reading it. I also thought he was a busy man to be in a relationship

She probably wanted to gain some fans back, so she just picked a random character and said he was gay  :roll:
