J.K. Rowling (the author of the HP book series) has revealed that one of Harry Potter's mentors (and surely one of the most beloved characters in the series) is gay.care to venture a guess? clue: master wizard and headmaster of hogwarts.
for the revelation (and not to be a spoilsport by indicating the answer in this post myself), click here.
do i hear Harry Potter book fans gasping!?
it adds a new layer to this character, which could prompt a re-read of the HP series to dig into hints which could have been dropped by J.K. Rowling in them. perhaps it could be illuminated in the remaining movies in the series which are yet to be shot and shown. or it could be elucidated in further detail in the encyclopedia of the harry potter universe which J.K. Rowling has promised to write very soon.several more revelations come your way via this account at the leaky cauldron:
-- concerning Neville Longbottom and his married life
-- what Petunia Dursley was not able to say with words to Harry Potter during the final moments when the Dursley family was being whisked away by the wizards to safety
-- about the moving portraits in hogwarts, and snape's portrait
-- and much, much more!
. Yeah I like to know where in the books it mentions he's gay, I say its a sent to make some more cash off her books or she wouldn't be doing it. From the way I see it, if your going to out a character in a book you better make sure you can back that up in the book because you sure don't see it in the movies and from the books I did read it didn't seem obvious. Of course I don't plan on reading them just to find the clues. Of course the the few million websites that will start producing hints and claim they knew it all along will start popping up.
