To me, it seems as if Ms. Rowling was trying to score some PC points. Frankly, it just sees pointless and irrelevant to the Harry Potter series. Big Whoop.

In my opinion it is because she just needs the attention of the readers sh ejust feels that she will be forgotten though Harry Potter will remain famous. Tsk I used to be a fan until today she has come so low why? She used to be clever. I mean I have nothing against gay people nor gay couples and I completely understand her urge to be rebelous but omg children are also reading that book. There is also the fact that even adults felt that Albus was the manly figure of the book who helped everyone and now it is all ruined. Think about that she said that she was just making things clear aout the Harry Potter books.... making things clear????? What is trying to sell? When most undersood that Albus was straight and nothing mentioned in that book could mean that he was gay. Tsk and t think that I thought and I was actually sure about it that Albus Dumbledore had a relationship with Minerva McGonagall and maybe they were even married. Anyway I think she just needs attention and she said herself that she wanted to provoke christians even more(she claims that she had already provoked them as she was accused of promoting, dunno if this is the right word anyway, witchcraft). She just ruined a small piece of the world that she created not by saying Albus Dumbledore was gay but also by saying that it was supposed to be clear to every reader. I think that she needs DESPERATELY THE ATTENTION OF THE READERS AND THE PRESS.

J. K. Rowling knew better than to put the so-called fact that Dumbledore was gay in any of her books. Because had she did that, she knew her books never would have sold as well as they did.
Even the non-Christian community would not have bought her books. Not that they are anti-gay, but it's because they would want to have this discussion with their own children, not by some author in a supposedly children's book.
J. K. Rowling is miserable and is an attention-seeking woman who will continue to come up with tidbits on her characters until the book-buying community says enough is enough.
I know I've had enough of her!

It really doesn't matter to me where or when she revealed it because I don't read the books. I just see the movies. It doesn't bother me that Dumbledore is gay, though.

i think she should have said in when she did b/c it kinda would ruined it for ppl. and they might have just put the book down.....but this way ppl know after they've read it. kinda like its another surprise. and that way everyone's not that upset by it b/c theres no more books coming out or anything.

i don't think there was any point to saying he was gay. nobody really cared. she should have never said nothing.
