HARRY POTTER - HARRY POTTER'S DUMBLEDORE IS GAY

HARRY POTTER'S DUMBLEDORE IS GAY

HARRY POTTER author JK ROWLING has shocked fans of the boy-wizard series by "outing" character ALBUS DUMBLEDORE as gay. The writer revealed the truth of the Hogwarts school headmaster's sexuality at New York's Carnegie Hall on Friday (19Oct07) as part of her American book tour. When asked by an audience member if Dumbledore had found "true love", she replied, "Dumbledore is gay," adding he was in love with his rival Gellert Grindelwald, who he once beat in a battle between good and bad wizards long ago. She says, "Falling in love can blind us to an extent. (Dumbledore was) horribly, terribly let down".
