*has been patted*

Thanks dearie, you've no idea how much I needed that.

Yup, I agree with everything you've said. I think, since we both have chosen to ignore this irrelevant information it's time we moved on.

Am I that predictible?

*hug Lar and JF*

*has just read that one article on bbc about JKR her little revelation on the bbc site. and ish shocked*

Okay, breathes in and breathes out.

First get this straight. I've totally respect everyone's sexual orientation but why? Why did she have to add this one little detail? It doesn't fit in the series for a bit. I mean Dumbledore in love with Gellert Grindelwald? That's just cheap. I'm sorry, but she sounds exactly like a fanfiction writer instead of the author of HP who created that brilliant world of magic.

It just doesn't make any sense why she had to say such a thing. I guess it was to create more publicity for her books or her image. But for me, she has spoiled things.

*sighs*

That's definitely a good way to put it Will. Cheap is the word I've been searching for this entire time. And yeah, "slash pairings" are male/male or female/female. All she's done is fueled the fire...

I'm just going to ignore it.

Although I must say, it was very entertaining to hear... though it greatly saddens me that JK would write such a... cheap, (great word, btw!), detail into her world. Funny, still, though, very funny...

It's interesting that we all agree. I'm surprised no one has come along and disagreed with us yet. Again, I speak for all of us when I say that we have nothing against gay people, just the cheap and unimportant facts that JKR sees fit to reveal to us.

You know, I'm not actually bothered by Dumbledore being homosexual, I think it's kinda cool, I guess it shows....diversity. However, I agree that it's silly that she shares it now, rather than in the books. However, that would have been kind of strange to have in the books...."Oh, by the way Harry, I'm gay!" But, I'm sure JK would have been able to have a flash back, because homosexuality is definitely something that would have impacted Dumbledore greatly and led to many of the choices he made.

Hehehe, my mom was shocked as well, I remember going home to do my laundry one weekend and when I walked in the door she said "Did you hear! Dumbledore is gay! I always wanted him and McGonagall to end up together!" I just shook my head at her, silly mom

What is wrong with that??? They would have been match made in heaven

Do we ever hear about the professors private lives in general? Does McGonagall have a family?

Goodness, am I the only non-Dumbledore/McGonagall shipper here?

Things have definitely died down about all this, and I think that's for the better. The less emphasis and news coverage there is on it, the happier I'll be.

I was listening to MuggleCast last weekend [as usual ] and they brought up the fact that JKR said she's always thought of Dumbledore as being gay. I'm not trying to deny what she said [Because I believe she said "Dumbledore is gay" after the fact], but that leads me to believe that she never really intended him to be gay. It was an infatuation. He was 16/17 years old, and for all we know it was one-sided, which makes it all the more tragic...

Lol. It's funny how many of them are out there though, including the closet fans as well.

I can't make much sense of it either, unless she sees Dumbledore as a real life person, which still makes no sense.

Can't can really make much sence of that either.

This is just what I've heard, but apperently J.K. Rowling is writing anther book. She's only making 5 copys and it has nothing to do with HP. Has anyone heard about this?

Oh, it makes perfect sense. Sometimes characters develop such a personality that they just take on a life of their own. It's really not fun at all. =[

I've kind of always suspected Dumbledore was a bit of a whoopsy, but I never expected JK to just come right out and say it.

Well, what's done is done, and truthfully I'm pretty much over it. Thanks, Marcellus for the explanation as well. I just couldn't wrap my head around it!

@ Nymphadora: I think you're talking about "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" which JKR handwrote 7 copies of [including illustrations!]. She gave away 6 and auctioned one off for charity.
