I had no judgment on Dumbledore's sexuality whatsoever. He was the wise old mentor figure - あなた don't really think about his romantic life much. I mean, did あなた ever think about Obi Wan Kenobi's 愛 life, または Yoda's?

In any case, it made the story about Grindewald far もっと見る convincing, and that was all I cared about. If Dumbledore was just good フレンズ with Grindewald, I feel that wouldn't stop him from seeing the EVIL in Grindewald's actions. Harry would recognize if Ron went Death Eater, wouldn't he? But love... 愛 unfortunately can make it hard to see the flaws in our lover. If he was in love with Grindewald, then his blindness to Grindewald's plans is much もっと見る plausible.

It fit with the story, and it was subtle, and if I recall, the only reason she even 発言しました he was gay was because people kept asking who the 愛 of his life was, and she couldn't say "Grindewald" without revealing his sexuality.

Honestly, I think too big a deal was made about this. Activists celebrated it way too much, and anti-gay advocates condemned it way to harshly.

It's a fictional character. His sexuality doesn't matter. Rowling was trying to answer the 質問 people bombarded her with about her character. That's all.

I know its her character but, she released that info after all the 本 were done so I made up my own mind already. I think that he likes Prof. McGonagall. But that is just me. I never saw any clues that told me he was gay, but in the end whether he is または is not I believe is up to each individuals imagination.

Would あなた have talked about those "stories" if Dumbledore was straight and it was Hermione in his office all the time? I know あなた were joking, and I don't mean to sound defensive, I just want あなた to think about why あなた made jokes about that.

Ecstastic! I think it's wonderful! Dear old Dumbles, it's the only thing I like about. And it makes me respect Rowling even more. And it shows that not all gay people are stereotypical Hey girlfriend! kind of homosexual (even though they are pretty fabulous, too!). Now, this begs the question: Gandalf gay, too? XD

I was just like...."Oh....okay?"
I didn't really care LOL; my adoration for Dumbledore's character didn't change. However, I thought it was pretty stupid that she announced this AFTER the 本 came out.

Well, apart from Snape and Hagrid non of the Hogwarts' teachers ever showed any interest in the opposite または same sex, lol!
So does that mean that Dumbledore's interest in Grindelwald was sexual in the first place? Now we have to re-interpret their duel, I dare say!
Anyway, Dumbledore DOES seem もっと見る excentric than the common British wizard. And his feelings towards Harry are surely pure fatherly - he may be gay, but he is past hormonal struggles, I'd say.

I know あなた weren't saying this AT ALL, but it really bugs me when people say "Does that mean he wanted to have sex with Harry? He paid him all that special attention!" If Dumbledore WAS straight, and it was Hermione who was "the Girl Who Lived", would we be saying he wanted to molest her? No! Of course not! This doesn't change his relationship with Harry a lick. I agree, it was completely fatherly, and to read もっと見る into it than that is assuming that all gay men are pedophiles.

I didn't actually find anything in the 本 または 映画 that made him act like he was gay. It doesn't matter if he was, because he's still the same wise, man. But when she 発言しました that it made me feel weird because I thought he was straight.

I LOLed so hard! I thought that probably every other character, except him, is gay. XD
But I can understand it, and it's so cute~~ haha but only if あなた imagine it when he was young, it's just weird to think of him having any kind of relationship in the timeline of the book.... But than again it's weird even if he was straight. XD
