    ...Heh.

    Talk about left-field... that's some random shit right there. Indeed, imagine the fucking fanfiction...

    Merrill put it best when he said,
    So am I. For the love of my fucking sanity, or whats left of it.

    I am fed up with this out of canon, out of the book bullshit. If it isn't in the books, who gives a shit.

    Either write another book, make it something that I'd want to waste even a nickel on or keep your cunt of a mouth closed.

    It's not that Dumbledore is gay. It's not that he was pining after Gellert Grindelwald. It's this 'love blinded him' bullshit. Love did not blind him since he was still a manipulative cunt who believed in the greater good a century later.

    Furthermore, at least when Tolkien did this it was in letters, well written letters that fully explored and made it clear what he was trying to establish. This is ridiculous - she's revealing information that's neither pertinent nor important to the series or its world just to keep interest. In reality, she's damaging the already clusterfucked world and story.

    If anything, this screams stereotype. Oh no, Dumbledore's eccentric. Oh no, he wears flamboyant robes and says odd things. Obviously, he must fit the bill for being a fruitcake.

    This is the most stunning thing I have ever read concerning Canon information. Well, except that Narcissa was really a man and Lucius a woman.

    The Albus/Minerva shippers are going to be terribly disappointed. They might rewrite the interview to make it more "Albin friendly" in their rage. Rowling will then have to have her lawyers threaten to sue their site Dumblegall if they don't take it down.

    Oh the drama that will unfold.

    "She's a homophobe" was my first thought when reading this. Perhaps it's too harsh, but at the very least she has that opinion of gays. I always wondered if Rowling would give a reason on Dumbledore's eccentric personality - and this is what we get.

    For shame. *Shakes head sadly*.

    *Smiles*

    I don't a give a shit either way. Nothing in the books suggested it, so it's only canon by word of the author, who apparently established this purely on whim.

    The Harry Potter series is done. Over. Anything she neglected to mention in the books can stay unmentioned.

    I wonder how turned on Dumbledore was when Harry told him he was his man through and through o_O

    What the fuck is JKR thinking? Is this something she thought up on the spot as a protest against a lot of Americans stance against gay marriage? I think JKR should have shut her trap, now ff.net is going to be even more fucked up as it is.

    I still believe that she has multiple A.U's running around in her head. I don't consider anything she says in an interview Canon. I wonder how the Gay and Lesbian will react to this news. Happy or outraged?

    *edit*
    She really needs to stop holding interviews. The next thing that we will find out is that Dobby and Fluffy had sexual relations.

    Way, WAY Left field.

    Ditto to interviews not meaning anything if it wasn't in the book.

    The funniest thing is that she wants people to "Question Authority".

    I ROFLCOPTER'd at that.

    The fanfiction is going to be horrible. Imagine how the actor playing dumbledore feels now.


    "Whats my motivation again?" Your playing a tragicly heartbroken 160 year old Gay Man with wrinkles that you can hide things in, in A childrens film.Who is Very close to a young boy.

    .... Well that was completely random. Not exactly what I expected to read today.

    Useless information though... that and she constantly contradicts herself in these interviews so..... they're not canon but really her own AU of her own work.

    She's probably gotten enough cash off the books now that they're done and is now taking pleasure in fucking with the fans.

    Soon Harry will be experimenting with Ron, while Hermione's doing Luna. C razy statements keep her in the news, lol

    WTF??? Is this for real? That was the first thing that went throught my mindhen I read this. I almost get the feeling it was a joke.

    That said... Who cares??

    The series is finished. There are no more books, no more plot (and plot holes) so this little tit bit is worthless information that can only be useful as a lame device to reach the gay community.

    I think JKR is seriously off her rocket these past few years.

    Wait, wait, wait... I thought that was already common knowledge? The snake cane was an obvious prop for someone suffering from extreme penis envy.

    Bah, Minnie is too good for him anyway... and I'm not just saying that because I toyed around with a Harry/Minnie plotbunny either.
    What? Someone has to do a Harry/Minnie fic where she hasn't already fucked both Dumbledore and Tom Riddle (I'm aiming the arched eyebrow of judgement at you, minniequill). :p

    I wonder how many times he's obliviated Harry. Abused Harry fics just got another potential cliche. Oh shi-...
