Answer 1

i'm pretty upset. i love the series. and the characters. and now i don't know what to think of dumbledore... his whole image is different now, and not for the better.

Answer 2

Dumbledore isn't a real person. He is an imaginary character who was made up by JK. If hes gay I think it tells us more about JK than it does about the storybook character. Having read all the books I can say anyone reading the books would not have drawn that conclusion unless they wanted to. Its a reach by the author to even call him gay. She never presented a single gay character in the books and conveniently waited til well after the release of her last book to make this "shocking revelation". I doubt the book would have been so well received if she had been open about her intent to use her books as a platform to promote Homosexuality in a children's book. We are done with her books and any of the movies pending release. I am just not that interested and now the content isn't child friendly. Also anyone who is angry about this should just calm down and put the situation into perspective. Adults( especially American Males) are not buying into the progressive movement and BC of the lack of success the progressives(JK included) have moved on to our children. Its every where. You just have to teach your child right from wrong. The books are still well written but will find their way into the hands of fewer children now. Way to go JK. You just destroyed your credibility. Enjoy those Billions and all those cocktail parties.

Answer 3

I don't think that JKR has an agenda, or is seeking more publicity. According to the story I read, she had told the writer of the screenplay for HBP that Dumbledore was gay because there was mention of a female love interest in the screenplay and she had to set them right. Having done that, she might as well have made it public, since it would have eventually come out anyway--she could control when and how it was done. and in any case, this story came out because she was directly asked if Dumbledore loved anyone.

Throughout the series, we know Dumbledore as a tireless and seemingly single-minded fighter against Dark Wizards (at least from Harry's perspective; we do have to remember that Albus is also a great teacher, an alchemist, and important theoretical Wizard--remember the tools and instruments he made himself). But how did Albus become that way?

We learn much about this in DH, with Arianna's story, Aberforth's story and the story of the friendship between Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald. In reading DH, it was clear that Grindelwald seduced Dumbledore on a number of levels; intellectually, ideologically, and, by JKR's new revelation, emotionally. We don't know if that seduction was sexual as well, and I'm not sure it is important for us to know.

The revelation completes the picture for us of a man who felt betrayed, injured by one he loved, ashamed at how far he went from rational thought and behavior, how far he really was from what he thought he was.

The up shot is that we now know more completely Dumbledore's motivations for fighting Dark Wizards--his shame at his own tangential contribution to Grindelwald's career, his reluctance to fight him, and, when Voldemort rose, his determination to not to repeat his prior mistake of inaction and to fight Voldemort from the start.

So in summery, It was part of the way JKR viewed Dumbledore and understood him. I don't think it was something that would have come out voluntarily--more likely something that would have made a scholarly article 50 or 60 years from now after she was gone and literary scholar had access to her full notes (assuming she left them to be investigated).

BTW, there is some inkling of this in DH, where Rita Skeeter talks about devoting a chapter in her book about Dumbledore to the Dumbledore/Harry relationship. This is not to say that there was anything improper--but that JKR did put out a hint.
