J.K. Rowling Wants You To Know How Gay Dumbledore Really Was
Even though the Harry Potter books came to a close when the seventh entry in the series was published in , that hasn't stopped author J.K. Rowling from adding to the larger lore of her wizarding world. With an Olivier and Tony-winning act that will probably stay on the West Conclude and Broadway for all eternity, and the Fantastic Beasts franchise chugging right along, Rowling has figured out how to mine her fantastical brain for content better than any blogger ever could. (How does she do it? I am so tired.)

But despite being a genius at world-building, Rowling is notorious for retroactively adding details to her published stories, causing controversy both within the Harry Potter fanbase and the outside world of casual fans. The most notorious example, of course, would be the sexuality of Albus Dumbledore. In a interview, Rowling claimed that the head of Hogwarts, who serves as a mentor to the titular character and tragically perishes in the penultimate novel, was deeply in admire with the dark wizard Gallert Grindelwald.

Albus Dumbledore, J.K. Rowling&#;s Ex-Gay
TW: Homophobia, transphobia, conversion therapy, purity culture.
J.K. Rowling&#;s proclamation that Albus Dumbledore was homosexual is usually contrasted with her trans-exclusionism, in the video essays and articles I have consumed on the topic, though her resistance to showing him as such in the Fantastic Beasts is seen as part of her journey to the shadowy side. In hindsight, I think rather the tragic celibate gay man should have been foreshadowing of her queerphobia, given the parallels with homophobic propaganda in conservative christian spheres.
Let us use this nature as a magical introduction to the key role queer people are made to play in their own oppression, within purity culture. And why asexuality may serve as a long-awaited Finite.

Did Dumbledore, who believed in the prevailing power of care for, ever fall in treasure himself?
My truthful answer to you… I always mind of Dumbledore as queer . [ovation.] … Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, perform we say it excused Dumbledore a little more because falling in adoration can blind us to an extent? But, he met someone as brilliant as he was, and rather like Bellatrix he was very drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him. Yeah, that’s how i always saw Dumbledore. In fact, recently I was in a script read through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying I knew a girl once, whose hair… [laughter]. I had to write a

After reading an excerpt from the seventh installment of her series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," one fresh fan asked if Dumbledore had ever loved anyone.

She was initially met with a surprised silence but ultimately the audience erupted in cheers for several minutes prompting Rowling to add, "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."
