At a recent Q&A at Carnegie Hall, Harry Potter mastermind J.K. Rowling filled in yet another piece of the Potter universe not found (but maybe implied) within the pages of the series – Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts headmaster and wizard extraordinaire, was gay. Addressing a question about Dumbledore’s seemingly non-existent love life, Rowling said: “I always saw Dumbledore as gay…Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald…Don’t forget, falling in love can blind us. [He] was very drawn to this brilliant person. This was Dumbledore’s tragedy.” In fact, at a recent script meeting for the adaptation of the sixth book, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, after seeing a line in which Dumbledore extols the virtues of the distaff, Rowling was forced to remind director David Yates of Dumbledore’s preference for red hot man candy. Read the rest of what she had to say, including things not relating to Dumbledore’s love of man meat, over HERE.
