I guess I never really thought about Dumbledore's sexuality... (like you said, he seemed about 400 years old).

But spouses and/or love interests were never mentioned for McGonagal, Sprout, Flitwick or any of the other teachers (save Snape) - so it never really sprung out at me.

Honestly, it doesn't seem like a big deal either way.

I'm out for one day and come back to such news smile I don't think it should matter one way or another, but I'm sure someone will have a problem with it.

"Dumbledore is [spoiler]!"


Yes smile

I just panicked, sorry. I really do still want to read it, life and work have just been manic.

No problem, Elle. I understand completely. smile Actually, I like the header modified as "Dumbledore is [spoiler]!" It adds even more suspense. Though judging from the surprising number of people who felt like responding, I guess I didn't need to drum up additional interest! As Laura said in her very funny quote above,

Who would have thought that Dumbledore's sex life was of such interest? Or that he even had a sex life???

It doesn't matter to me either way but I'm just not sure what her motivation was for even bringing it up!

Apparently Rowling just blurted out the news that he's gay in response to a question from some kids at a reading. (They asked if he ever finds true love.) She must have had a more complete view of her characters than she could show in the books, and answered from that perspective. You know how authors like to natter on about their characters as if they are real people. smile Of course you can't beat a revelation like this for promotional value (not that she really needs to jump-start sales of her books)!
