Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You know that 'friend', Grindelwald, was more then a friend to him Re-read the book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It never says anything about it in the books!. She just said that do bug everyone after number 7 came out so now everyone assumes he was in love with Grindelwald!. She said it, but didn't write it, so it is not "doctrine" so you don't need to beleive it!. It's funny how she just decided to demoralize the character with the best morals!. I think it's because she didn't want people to get a good message out of Harry Potter!. I've been trying to get my dad to read Harry Potter for years, and he was reluctant to because people said it was a dark book!. He was almost convinced to read it, but now he refuses to because Dumbledore is supposedly gay!. Dumb move, JK Rowling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She said that she pictured him as gay!. Whether this is true or whether she just said so to widen her audience, we may never know!.

As for Dumbledore in the books, I found nothing at all that overtly suggested he might be gay, and Rowling is talented enough to have made gayness jump off the page!. Besides, we all know he was sweet on McGonnagal ;)


I seriously think it's either a marketing ploy or she's ducking some sort of criticism having to do with some sort of sexism!.

she dint say it in the books, someone asked her later on if dumbldore ever fell in love and she answered by saying that he was gay and fell in love with grindewald
it was never in the books and never did anything that was gay, it was just a fact that jk rowling told the hardcore fans cuz they wanted the information but doesnt actually change anything in the booksWww@QuestionHome@Com

J!.K Rowling said the Dumbledore was gay because he doesn't have a wife!. She never wrote about a love for Dumbledore in the books!. I forget who she said was his "boyhood friend" that he was in love with!. Maybe somebody else can tell you this!. J!.K Rowling said he was gay after the seventh book came out!. I hope this helps a little bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The question was: Did Dumbledore, who believed in the prevailing power of love, ever fall in love himself!?

JKR: My truthful answer to you!.!.!. I always thought of Dumbledore as gay!. [ovation!.] !.!.!. Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was!. To an extent, do we say it excused Dumbledore a little more because falling in love can blind us to an extent!? But, he met someone as brilliant as he was, and rather like Bellatrix he was very drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him!. Yeah, that's how i always saw Dumbledore!. In fact, recently I was in a script read through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying I knew a girl once, whose hair!.!.!. [laughter]!. I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, "Dumbledore's gay!" [laughter] "If I'd known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!"

When authors write, their characters have back-stories!. In their head, the author knows more about their characters than is actually portrayed in the book that they wrote!.

Anyways, JK Rowling said that Dumbledore was in love with Grindelvald when they were younger!. Which was why Dumbeldore had such a hard time realizing how bad of an influence he was!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It was small things that J!.K!. hoped would show his homosexuality!. The one main thing was that he fell in love with Grindelwald when he was a young man!. Remember, their "special" relationship!? They weren't actually dating or anything, but Dumbledore definitely loved him as more than a friend!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
