Carrying on from a few posts ago (3 things I hate about Harry Potter) - now JK has just given me a 4th...
Her announcement that Albus Dumbledore was gay. Where did that come from??? Why does it matter?
(a) It had nothing to do with the story.
(b) The series is done and dusted.
(c) The guy was dead before the last book came out.
Few possible reasons she did this:
(a) She was bored (looks a likely theory given she doesn't have much to write about after Harry had his babies)
(b) She wanted me to make Mahogany react to her announcement, put up a great post loosely related to discrimination against gay people, so that I could make a point to Shrenik in the comments of my last post (something tells me this theory is unlikely)
(c) She's branching out into her next series which, staying true with Hollywood trends will be kind of a prequel to Harry Potter - a throwback to Dumbledore's younger years - Discover Dumbledore!
Whats next..... Snape and Date Rape - scandal - Harry is really Snape's son!??
Well - I guess this blog post is testament to the fact that she's keeping people talking about it.

I'm quite affected by her announcement - I've started looking at those sections of the books which involved Dumbledore, Harry, and a "wand" very differently now.
Ganj - that's a great idea! I would actually read the Dumbledore prequels. I can so imagine him coming on to Grimblewald with a smarmy "Hey babe, I totally dig your Hog-warts. How about we go slytherin together till I make you hufflepuff?"
