hmmm... I was wondering if J.K Rowling was joking. Then... the more I thought about it.. the more plausible it seemed. Dumbledore was meant to be a complicated character anyway and homosexuality gives rise to many complex issues - tolerance, values, social concerns. etc. Having said that.. it doesn't really changed my perspective or liking for the series. Love, ultimately, in whichever form, is still love. And I thought Rowling passed the startling information almost like a casual remark. So I think avid fans shouldn't read too much into it, especially if it's going to spoil the enjoyment of re-reading the books.
I'm just amused at how a supposed children's book has evolved into the story as such. The series was getting progressively darker with each book. O, the controversy this tiny piece of news is going to raise... If the books are taken off the shelves of the children's section, I'm not surprised.
Meanwhile, we should all keep an open mind and interpret the words in each lines our own way as we see like it.
Through and through, I'm still a Harry Potter fan.
