It's very ironic that the outting of Dumbleodre as a gay man was received by many Harry Potter fans as a Slytherin would react to someone being a "mudblood" It amazes me how so many people that loved the books, could be so discriminatory. It's like the message of the book went in through one ear and out the other. I guess they don't really care about the message and/or feel more identified with the intolerant characters.

The thing I like about Dumbledore being gay is that it wasn't shoved in our face as if to make a point of it. I think what's brilliant about it is that it makes Dumbledore not being with someone and his relationship with Grindlewald seem that much sadder. Dumbledore probably really liked his friend and his friend probably just used him. Dumbledore was a great wizard and he turned such a blind eye to Grindlewald's evil deeds until finally things were getting so bad that he had no choice but to confront him. I wonder how sad it must have been when *spoiler* Arianna died and Dumbledore thought that maybe it was his friend who killed her. I mean it just seems so sad that how much he loved the guy left him alone.

[@tasha1955]

I think the lack of disclosure had a lot to do with laws in the UK at the time. Thatcher had laws through that prevented gay couples from being represented in 'children's' books. This was still in effect when JK Rowling was writing Harry Potter.

So stop judging. If you weren't asexual you'd act like them so yeah. And I don't even know what parties or tv shows you're talking about lmao No offence, but it sounds like you have no social life whatsoever and therefore have this sort of paranoia/obsession about things, like sexuality. Man, go out, relax and have fun. And the kind of behaviour of this woman isn't low. The books were already the best selling books of all times, so this obviously wasnt a publicity stunt. She said Dumbledore is gay bc that's what made him do the things he did when he was younger: he fell in love with this young man who happened to be evil, and because Dumbledore was blinded by love he did bad things too. Since you're "asexual" and homophobic, I guess you can't understand this (btw "asexual" my ass, I'm sure you just have some mental/social issues and can't get laid and you have locked yourself in your own safe bubble, but deep inside you're miserable. I genuinely hope you get better). What is low though, is the fact that you call people fag, even after calling yourself asexual, which is probably the most unnacepted sexuality of all and yet you discriminate homosexuals. That just shows the kind of guy you are. Sad, indeed. Now if someone insults you for being asexual, you deserve it.

It's very important to be subtle in storytelling in my opinion because it's just more fun for the reader to try a little and think about the story for themselves.

[@nikkajay9823]

I'm going to put a positive comment because I scrolled over recent comments and disliked the reactions: Dumbledore is awesome. Being gay doesn't change his awesome personality. Being gay doesn't change the view of the story plot. Although certain people have this stereotype in mine that Dumbledore is weak because he's gay, I believe (and I think many other good people in the world would agree with me) that Dumbledore is an old yet strong character who executes his moves within a plan with such swiftness and he encourages students to be brave, wise, and free. Dumbledore faces his foes with strong bravery and is willing to die to save the greater good of the world. Anyone who thinks he's "not an Alpha male" just because of his sexual preference should come out of the rock that they've lived in and learn the world more closely. A real man would sacrifice for those he loves and face his fears and foes head on, regardless of whatever gender he prefers romantically.

Calixtus 😡.....are you implying that homosexuals are not, in a sense, more impressive and intense as a character? Look, fact of the matter is that you can't change the original author's idea and call it fact. J.K. Rowling is a great writer who created everything that is awesome in Hogwarts, including Dumbledore. Liking same genders does not weaken your image. People who think it does are either weak deep down inside....or possible jerks/bullies when they were in high school.

[@mastercaster02]

Veronica Jacobe I'd have to agree with Calixtus, only because homosexuality, and homosexuals by extension, is inextricably linked with the gender of the sex they aren't. For example, gay men give an aura of femininity, which when contrasted with the qualities we assume to be masculine, does not give off the same sort of power and intensity. You don't honestly expect me to believe you see Dumbledore as a particularly 'powerful' figure, do you? Extroardinary, Collected, Talented, yes. But powerful - Dumbledore doesn't want power. He avoids it. Otherwise he would have done what Voldemort had tried to do. I'm not saying I think Dumbledore's sexual orientation matters, because honestly when I heard that I was not at all surprised - and the fact that I wasn't surprised about Dumbledore being gay sort of surprises me, if you know what I mean. That's becaue homosexuality is not normal. Look, society can argue about it all they want, but the definition of normal is that the vast majority of people do/are something, which means homosexuality isn't normal. Not enough people are gay for it to be normal. Is it wrong? I don't think so. But I don't think that you can genuinely expect the vast majority of people to not freak out over this, because to a lot of people this is a big deal. This is the type of character that one puts their trust in and learns to be comfortable around, and then Rowling throws this gigantic curveball by making something about Dumbledore extremely uncomfortable to deal with for a lot of people. The gayness of Dumbledoremakes some people especially uncomfortable due to his position as the headmaster of school and his relationship with Harry Potter, who happens to be a young boy for the entire series. It makes people think, and a lot of people are taken aback by what this might imply. It

[@nikkajay9823]

***** Although I may agree with you on the few terms that a vast majority may not be homosexual and others may be uncomfortable with the change, I do believe that homosexuality is normal in this world as a natural sense (even though there are many people out there that think homosexuality is not natural). So, I'm trying to say that heterosexual and homosexual beings are both a part in nature. Having said that, Dumbledore is indeed a fictional character in a wonderful children's story. However J.K. Rowling puts it, even though she put a shocker for Dumbledore to be gay in public, she indeed planned that character to have this sense of power as a human being, not because of gender status. Which is why I was trying to prove simply that Dumbledore is a powerful wizard who doesn't need so much power because he has some empathy in him to control a certain amount of power. He's a simple wise man with magical powers. I don't think that him liking men belittles his character or makes him less strong as a wizard or main character in the story of Harry Potter. So in my general opinion, I just believe and trust in a wise man who is homosexual and shows empathy more... rather than in a man who portrays masculinity and shows no weakness.

Who come here after watching fantastic beast 2022?

[@eatmylaptop7403]

So it is confirmed

[@m1randa638]

I'm excited to see the grindelwald - dumbledore thing explored in fantastic beasts wow

[@itsannagrimm]

So she says it's possible to spot something in the books? Damn it, now I'm gonna have to read them all in English (not just because of Dumbledore being gay, there's something about reading the original material that wasn't touched by any translator, I don't know why I still haven't).

[@HopeUnquenchable]

+Anna Grimm I didn't read them till after I heard about Dumbledore being gay, and when I did, I could see the hints all through the books, and I can see what Rowling means by, "As time went on and I got to know Dumbledore, I just knew he was gay."

[@kyradelemarre4691]

What language did you read them in? I mean your name sounds German... So... German or Dutch?

[@itsannagrimm]

Kyra Delemarre haha Polish, actually ;p

[@kyradelemarre4691]

oohhh niceee. I've always wanted to visit Poland

[@sridevivenkatesha7237]

If you're rereading, please read the chapter where Harry meets Dumbledore in limbo. There when Dumbledore speaks of Grindelwald a kind of pain, disappointed and regret is sensed in his words. He admits to be charmed by Grindelwald. That sort of emotion cannot exist just because of friendship, something else had to be there.

[@freddypedraza2066]

Dumbledore started dressing like Gandalf when he read Tolkien's book in the late 50's No reason why they aren't written in that world

[@chrisbyrd2136]

I just scene crimes of grindlewald and now this video it all come full circle

[@Robin-py9yg]

I don't care that he's gay I still love him. That ain't going to change how much I've come to love him as a character it's just him. I have to say Jude Law in fantastic beasts 2 stole the show completely and Jude Law is just gorgeous

[@Tn-qr1kb]

man.. i always shipped him with minerva.

[@candemessuti]

Yes he is and he was in love with Grindelwald 🙂

[@tiffanymarieelizabeth]

First chapter of the first book when Dumbledore is bringing baby Harry to Aunt Petunia’s, he is described as wearing high heel boots. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE

[@MarkTuson]

Not every man who wears high-heeled boots is gay. They were thing for men long before they were for women - an old man wearing high heels is more about class and eccentricity than sexuality. It shows he's old-fashioned and is well-off, and can dress how he pleases without having to fit in or care what people think.

[@GOLTEB]

How about his love for knitting patterns?

[@ZoeNightshade_HunterOfArtemis]

This video is from 10 years ago, but in the most recent (i think) fantastic beasts movie, Dumbledore says something referring to Grindelwald. He said exactly this: “Because I was in love with you”. At the time I thought either one of two things was happening: 1, Dumbledore was legitimately in love with Grindelwald or 2, he was in love with Grindelwald’s plan. Both seemed possible for Dumbledore and tbh, I though kind of both were occurring. Anyway, that’s just want I was thinking

[@MarieLyster]

I do love knitting patterns!

[@GOLTEB]

That's a hint right there. Lol

[@natstcup]

2 minutes after watching this me and my friend were playing something with Harry Potter and she’s says “Hey since Dumbledore likes Mgonagle these two people could be them!” And then I say “ Uh.. Dumbledores gay.” ;-;

[@kiyaleelevyrunaya9495]

"very few writers stay with their characters for so long." Try adding 10 years Eichiiro Oda (One Piece, 25 years), Gosho Aoyama (Detective Conan, 25 years), Trey Parker & Matt Stone (South Park, 25 years). Or even longer: Akira Toriyama (Dr Slump, 35 years; Dragon Ball, 30 years). Just saiyan 🤷‍♂️

[@Sam-qc6sz]

I think the book implies a relationship between Grindelwald and Dumbledore It might be, might not be, in the end it's one of those things that is truly up to the reader to interpret Though the book implies it quite a bit I think that's different from a character who is described as being gay after the work has been completed, and with no reason to believe that

[@aleeshasarr]

I found out he was gay on imdb on his description I was shocked but it didn't changed how I felt about him as a person his sexuality has nothing to do with it or his character

[@LevCallahan]

I mean, she can sit there and says she knows her characters because she's worked on them for 17 years... ...but that may not necessarily mean she *knows* her characters; now I know that sounds silly, but hear me out. She consistently goes about molding what happens to each character through her books, and then she writes Deathly Hallows, where she kills off multiple characters, as well as finally culminates Ron and Hermione's relationship to each other. ...Later, she's interviewed, where she reveals she "made a mistake" in not only killing off certain characters, but that Hermione probably should've ended up with Harry, and that she should've written it thus. We're talking about a love-interest she wrote in-depth about for books 4, 5, 6, and finally in 7, and even throughout all that time, writing, molding the characters-- after all that, she still believes she should've written it differently, even though she supposedly "knew" her characters. That's why, when she made the claim that "Dumbledore is gay", I'm not so terribly certain that such a claim is really set in stone, let alone relevant or even necessary to make at all. It seems more like a politically-driven or socially-driven move on her part. That's my opinion, at least.

[@Eren-ws9yw]

Maybe hes pansexual

[@jefferyolsen4259]

Smartest comment doesn’t get much love.

[@pink_alligator]

Pretty much until 7 maybe 6 who the trio would end up with could still have gone either way, what she wrote until that point was a friendship, not a love interest but that's still very different. There we're talking about the developing story that's taking place and in terms of the relationship it's stuff that isn't really that important, with Dumbledore we're talking about the past and the building blocks for the character and who he is also as far as I can tell she's only regretted killing 1 character. Saying sorry she killed them is not saying that it was a mistake

[@joan98610]

I read the last book when I was 9 and thought that Grindelwald ans Dumbledore were together lol

[@abasicgameenjoyer5798]

Poor you you had to suffer dumbledore’s gayness

You can all been: cool he's gay. But we all love Dumbledore's relationship with Prof. McGonagall at some point, and you can't deny it

[@MrHyde-ku5qj]

now we know the reason why dumbledore was so lenient with tom riddle...

[@Vicivic1404]

[@schrittfuerschritt_podcast]

Well there is a point; Tom Riddle was very good looking and while he may not have been attracted to him in a pedo way, he was still an attractive, charming young man.

[@caitlynfell6238]

What does it matter that Dumbledore is gay he's still the same character if anything it explained some of the decisions he makes regarding harry and as j.k said his trust of Grindelwald

[@caitlynfell6238]

He's still the same character we all know and love if anything the only reason he became the Dumbledore we know is because of his tragic love for Grindelwald

[@rus6091]

I think it matters actually a lot. I always suspected that he had feelings towards Gellert, and when I found out that he is gay, everything became clear to me. So we are yet to see Fantastic beasts 2,3,4,5 where the story between them too would be further explained

[@l1lR053]

i may hate jk but the way she talks about the relevancy of certain things is fascinating because it doesn’t seem like she just randomly decided Dumbledore was gay because the media at the time was very relevant to gay people/ things it seems like she thought about it as an actual thing

[@Pharten25]

The place they talking is awesome

[@user-sm9gb2wn8j]

Cool! That's a positive surprise. :)

[@brainphelps1994]

that's so weird because always assumed that Dumbledore and Mcgonagall had something going on the side, not that they were ever really a couple at any point, just that they would do things on the side

[@WatcherOfTheOpera24601]

Nah, yhey are just best friend, but look, not like many otjer books, it isnt shoved in ur face that dumbledore is gay

[@puuhamato6294]

Dumbledore's not gay. Never mentioned or even hinted in the Harry Potter books. Also, it's not irrelevant.

[@JustJoe10]

Classic queercatching I understand why it wasn’t in the original book and movie but now that we got fantastic beasts….

[@pillrat]

J.K. Rowling had to do it because of people complaining about the lack of gay characters in Harry Potter

[@puuhamato6294]

@@pillrat If Dumbeldore was told to be gay in the first book for example, I wouldn't care. But because, as you said, minority of people(looneys) complaining, having their tiny feelings hurt there's no gay characters.. It's not even relevant in these kind of movies or books aimed mainly for children and teens....

[@jjusdorange]

If the author says he's gay then he is. That's how it works. It wasn't mentioned in the HP books but not every single bit of trivia has to be mentioned. Also, the story is from Harry's point of view and Dumbledore's sexual orientation was none of Harry's business so why would he know about it?

[@michaelkrog7172]

This aboutta go viral after fantastic beasts and I’m here for it

[@molly.dot.8019]

I’d like to be remembered as someone who was here before that happened

[@pikarari]

tell you what man the *first* time I read that chapter where Dumbledore's high school "buddy" told Harry about Dumbledore's past (so, the day after the book came out) I clocked Dumbledore as being gay and having had a relationship with Grindelwald (and his school friend btw). She didn't pull this out of thin air. I think the reason it never comes up in the books is like why would he discuss his sex life with a young boy 🤔 (a young straight boy, to boot, who isn't like going through a gay crisis) haven't seen this interview yet and I'm curious to see what she has to say here but I wanted to throw that in before I watched because I'm annoying

[@firdauszainudin7118]

He's not gay, he is creative backwards mechanic

[@abdulnahin5786]

Forget about what she says. Because it's not mentioned in the books I will view dumbledore as asexual. I think because she said it's not relevant everyone has a right to view the character like the way they want to view it. Whether he's straight gay etc

[@PapaRoboto]

I think you're right and I don't consider his ''gayness'' cannon.

[@CANADAWOOOOOOOOO]

no, this woman wrote the entire series, dumbledore is gay af like it or not.

I was a bit shocked when I first heard it, but big deal, JK created these characters, they are hers to do with as she pleases. If you don't like who ended up with who or anything like that, go read/write some fanfic!
