"Dumbledore is gay", says J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling Outs Dumbledore
"Dumbledore is gay," says J.K. Rowling according to AP.

This happened during a Q&A session with young readers at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Asked if Dumbledore had found true love, Rowling responded with the bombshell that Dumbledore was gay and that the greatest wizard of all time had in fact loved his onetime friend, later enemy, Gellert Grindelwald.

Could that battle between the two have been a lover's quarrel? Probably not, but Rowling admitted that this love had been a great tragedy.

"Oh, my god," she said, "the fan fiction." I'm sure much will be written about this development.

In other romantic news, Newsweek reports that Hagrid did not marry, but that Neville Longbottom did, to Hannah Abbott, a former Hufflepuff classmate.
