(336 days to go....)
I've just heard a news report that JK Rowling has confirmed that the character of Dumbledore (of Harry Potter fame) is, in fact, gay.
A few points come to mind:
a) Why does this matter?
b) How very brave of J K Rowling to reveal this not in the book itself but as an afterthought in an interview long after the final book of the series has been published. Yet another example of old JK shying away from anything remotely challenging.
c) This is going to make Stephen Fry (who narrates the books on CD) very happy.
Unfortunately this news may go some way to confirming a number of commonly held beliefs about private boarding schools.
Personally I always thought Harry Potter was gay, or at least confused about his sexuality. He does seem to spend a lot of time in an all-male dormitory playing with his wand.
Harry may (SPOILER ALERT) end up with Ginny but I think it's Ron he wanted all along.....
