Pellau Magazine: Dumbledore is Gay?

12:29 PM | Posted by Pellau | Edit Post

While hype was building for the release of the final book, Rowling revealed to fans that she’s always thought of Dumbledore as gay. She was surprised at the applause that greeted her statement. She sportingly says, “You needed something to keep you going for the next 10 years! …Oh my god, the fan fiction now, eh?”

In response, she said, “If I had known this would have made you this happy, I’d have announced it years ago.” Dumbledore, who had always believed in the power of love, found love himself in Gellert Grindelwald, his childhood friend who went dark. It made him sad that he had to defeat his friend in battle, but he did what was needed. This may have been one of the memories he was reliving when he drank the potion the night he died.
