There would just be different confrontation for the next Potter and Weasley generation.

As BirdPerson would gladly tell you, it means Snape was a Republican.

BirdPerson doesn't seem to be aware that homosexual Republicans exist.

They do.

Now I lose even more respect for J.K. Rowling as a writer.

Not because she created a homosexual character, but because she basically threw it out as some throwaway detail after the series has ended, practically keeping it hidden from everyone and never going anywhere with it. Not that it matters, since Dumbledore as a character was just some old fart who'd speak in tongues to Harry and then dies at the hands of Snape in what turns out to be the biggest deux ex machina in a long time.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Snape was a stereotypical Republican.

Actually, Melee, didn't she have to bring it up because of the implication that Dumbledore loved a girl was going to be in the script for the Half-Blood Prince movie? It was something like that...

Methinks you've been spending too much time in the chatroom. That was Mr. Wiggles, not Mr. Melee.

I don't like it when writers or artists in general don't leave whatever isn't specifically laid out in their material up to the viewer's imagination or interpretation.

Also I think this is just to create a buzz so the movies get free advertising. It revived this thread after all!

Eh, I do find it odd that she announced it when the book that told of his death was released over a year or so ago.

TEM, she did leave it to the imagination until the moviemakers tried to mess up her view of her creation and then someone specifically asked her about Dumbledore's love life in a public forum.

Totally fair, if you ask me, since the issue was pressed by other people both times.

Since she was talking about movie 6, you could also say that Dumbledore is only gay in the film universe, and assumed straight or unknown in the book universe.

It's just a publicity thing, I'm sure; she probably figured she'd make even more cash as gays descend upon bookstores to pick up the whole series. Why didn't she just change the entire series in one adlib remark and say Harry was a woman? Sales among preteen girls would skyrocktet!

I believe that her comments only meant that that was how she thought of Dumbledore when writing the books. It does not change the books at all.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?
