Rowling Outs Dumbledore

[sageofages]

I always saw Dumbledore as sort of asexual in his sexual orientation.

Yes his gender was male...but in absence of any real relationship references I put him in the "never" category as it really didn't seem to be an important part of his character development.

I don't see the reason why she had to tell us all of this.....

I seriously doubt this woman needs to sell more books.

well I guess this is one more reason for people to want to ban her books.

Let the book burning begin! (when I imagine book burning, I see the book burning scene from Footloose)

Perhaps I misunderstood the article I read (it wasn't the one linked to in this thread), but I thought she outed Dumbledore simply because the director of the sixth movie intended to include a scene involving a previous love interest (a girl). In order to keep the characters in the movies in line with the (main) characters she created, she felt the need to tell the director that Dumbledore wouldn't have had a female love interest.

Let's DAAAANCE!


I tried to find a photo of the book burning, but drat. If you enter "footloose" into Google Images, a crazy entertaining mix of photos come up! When did Footloose become a stage musical?

Because someone asked her the question. And, as SydneyK and Buttonz said, because it had come up during the filming of HBP.
