Analysis: It’s not enough for J.K. Rowling to say her characters are queer. Show it to us.
By Richard Morgan Richard Morgan Bio March 18 at 3:00 PM J.K. Rowling never had to fight for her freedom to marry, and it shows.
Rowling published the first book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” in Britain in 1997. She wrote six more Harry Potter books before she outed Dumbledore, which she did only after the final novel was published. Just like this time, that revelation came not in the text, but in a 2007 question-and-answer session with fans, who broke into rapturous applause. She described Dumbledore not just as a gay man, but as broken, pathetic, unrequited, lonely, doomed.
How could this clumsy betrayal by a clueless straight woman get any worse? By her straight male director, David Yates, chiming in within the same DVD commentary: “I was very conscious of wanting to try to suggest that Dumbledore still held this affection for Grindelwald. There was not just regret, but there was still a love that existed between the two men.
