J.K. Rowling outs Hogwarts character - Yahoo! News
Rowling is such a tremendous hack it's unbelievable. I've got no problem with Dumbledore being a pole smoker, but if it wasn't worth addressing in the book she shouldn't have been addressed it at all. Mystery is part of what gives a story appeal, and conjecture is what keeps a franchise fresh in the minds of fans.

And yeah, the fanfiction. You are such a stupid bitch.

Yes, it ruins it. And it's honestly surprising. I was quite content to think that he and McGonagall were secret lovers. A pole-smoker? ... the beard would be so... SCRATCHY...

That's just the way he likes it! Who are you to judge hot beard lovin'!? It's just as legitimate as furrydom. :mad:

Now it's canon! =D

Heh, I just read this and was going to post it.

It doesn't ruin anything at all for me. I never really thought of Dumbledore as a sexual being in the first place, as it never played any sort of part in the books. His sexuality plays no part in his actions and/or his personality in the books.

I personally like to hear details like this about the characters. I've been reading these books for years and the little details that she has been sharing since Deathly Hallows came out helps to answer things that conjecture will help with. It helps to answer tidbits that were never completely addressed and to fill out the images of smaller characters that were not well defined due to publishers not wanting to print a 2000 page book.

A student asked her if Dumbledore had ever found love. I don't know why people are upset about her answering it. Would it be as upsetting if it was a women and would the decision to announce that be labeled as unnecessary, seeing as that was not worth addressing in the book? I don't think that would be the case.

As if that were possible. A bottle of spilled ink on the page would've made for more competent writing than that fluff.

This is ridiculous. Rowling probably just said it to sensationalize the series. As if it needed the extra help. This is tacky. Why can't she just let the concept of Harry Potter die 'gracefully'?

The same reason you won't die gracefully.

The same reason you won't die gracefully (in a fire).

So why are all these details coming out now long after the books are done? Shouldn't all this have been included in some book?

I don't think she created Dumbledore thinking he'd go for a cockring, though.

Which is exactly why, only through reading the source material, nobody would ever suspect that Dumbledore was gay. This is exactly why Rowling is such a hack. If she didn't mention it in the book because she wanted to avoid the controversy then she's a fucking coward who's afraid to portray her own characters. Because otherwise she's retroactively trying to turn children's literature into a social commentary to raise the hype around the franchise, which makes her a disgusting and manipulative bitch.

He must love them magic wands. *crickets*

I don't even care about Harry Potter anymore. The ending of the final book was so anticlimactic she might as well have just ended it before Harry faced Voldemort in the first place.
And fuck the epilogue. Such a cop-out.

Yeah, what a bitch. Why can't Rowling just have a divorce and custody battle like all the other famous people do?

So, gay people can't find true love?

The answer to the question, you stupid bitch, is, "Yes" or "No."

"Oh, the fanfiction!"

means...

"Wow! Free publicity!"

Idiot...

I completely agree. The books contain almost no sexuality whatsoever until later when the kids enter the teen years and start having first kisses and develop feelings for each other. And I can't recall anything about Dumbledore that hinted at his sexual side at all. It's a kid's book, and the last thing kids want to read about is parental/authority figures having sex. This feels like a cheap publicity stunt.

Why didn't she just re-write the books to say that the real reason Dumbledore kept Snape around was because of his tight asshole. Sheesh.

Of course he's gay. It's a well known fact that all the male teachers at boarding schools are nonces.

Totally attention-gathering. Such a moot and unnecessary point that I wasn't even thinking about seems to have made its way into her statements. This would be on par with finding out that Crookshanks has 758,287 strands of fur on its body.

Yeah, what a bitch. Why can't Rowling just get drunk and DUI like all other famous people do?

No, this would be tantamount to learning that Crookshanks was actually a symbolic reference to the Irish Republican Army.

That doesn't suprise me in the slightest. Both her publicising further and the fact that Dumbledore has stepped out of the metaphorical closet. I guess she can say whatever she wants since she made the end so final.

In before "Snape Fucked Dumbledore" Meme nonsense

I can't say I'd hit. He's a bit out of my age range -- I tend not to date people over the age of 100. Also, the long hair and down-to-the-testicles beard is so unattractive to me.

I find a clean-shaven look to be much more appealing. I'd definitely do someone like Arthur Weasley, or Cornelius Fudge.

Now that's some Fudge I'd like to pack!

Can't wait for pregnant Dumbledore hentai to come out!

I'd post something thoughtful about trivializing the issue of homosexuality and the real prejudices people face today, but honestly, Rowling has made the entire conversation a joke.

See this part that comes directly before the Dumbledore "bombshell":

You sick fuck.
