J.K. Rowling "outs" Hogwarts character

[Hairy_Legs_Millar]

Maybe Ian McKellan should play Dumbledore from now on in the movies?

I couldn't stop laughing when I read your post and found out this on IMDb

"Ian McKellan - Turned down the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)."

Well I don't think it was up to her to out him - he should come out in his own time and only if he is comfortable enough to do it . . . .

. . . wait - I'm taking it too serious aren't I

Ehehehe. Love the facetiousness of that.

Rowling Shocked by Response to Gay Dumbledore


Author J.K. Rowling is stunned by the reaction she received after outing popular Harry Potter character Albus Dumbledore as gay. The writer revealed the truth about the Hogwarts school headmaster's sexuality at New York's Carnegie Hall on Friday as part of her American book tour. The outing of Dumbledore provoked more that 3,000 comments on Harry Potter fansite, The Leaky Cauldron - and Rowling is shocked by the furor over her character's sexual orientation. Rowling says, "It has certainly never been news to me that a brave and brilliant man could love other men. He is my character. He is what he is and I have the right to say what I say about him."

Wonder how the dead actor who originally played him would have reacted to the news. . . .

Cause being gay is so bad. Bet he's glad he's dead rather than have to deal with the shame. I'm glad she came out with it. I haven't read the books but seen the films. Whi is this love interest of his from the past? Is he in the books or even the movie? I don't pay that good attention to names in these movies.

He's mentioned in the last book, which has a plot involving the little-known past of Dumbledore. Harry starts to learn more about him and reads about this character and that he was a very close friend of Dumbledore's in his youth and then it all went sour.
