Hats off to Rowling for expressing such a controversial in such a widely read book. It's true, she didn't make it obvious in the series, but it's still to be respected.
I always joked that in the seventh book, she could reveal one of the main characters as being gay, yet millions of people would still buy it. It's funny how it really happened.
HAH!!! I knew it! I always couldn't help but think "Is Dumbledore gay?" while reading the books. I think I started to ask myself that in the. . . 5th book? I dun know, just something about it always made me think it. Jeez, this is funneh.
Lyke, rep'd.

lol, probably because it seems kinda weird for a 150 year-old fictional man to have a sex life.

J.K. Rowling has said that she did this to promote tolerance.
Granted he probably didn't have a sex-life as we saw him in the books but in his younger years?
Who knows?

I heard about this on Friday. I didn't believe it at first. And he was in love with Grindlewald, who did not return his affections. That was just plain weird.
Anyway, did anyone else think that Neville and Hannah Abbott getting married was a little awkward? I mean, why did he marry her? Out of all the other female characters, why did he pick her? I guess its just one of those things that we'll never truely know.

I bet Christians must love Rowling now. XDD
Too bad he's dead, though. He could have adopted children with Snape.

I laughed my *** off on that xD I still remember those threads you made about Christians critisizing HP lol
And I'm a bit speechless to the "Dumbledore is gay" thing xD No one would ever expect something like that.

I actually thought Dumbledore had a relationship with Mcgonnagall (sp?), but when I read the seventh book, It does make sense. But Neville shouldn't have married Hannah, why would someone live in a pub?
