Rowling: 'Dumbledore Is Gay'

October 23, 2007 | ISSUE 43•43

At a public appearance at Carnegie Hall in New York, author J.K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore, the headmaster character in her popular Harry Potter series, is homosexual. What do you think?

Wow. I hadn't heard that. I've been really busy lately not caring about the sexual preferences of fictional people.

Dumbledore? I always figured the gay ones were Harry, Draco Malfoy, Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, Dudley Dursely, Ptolemy, Morgana, and Professor Snape.
