Dumbledore Speaks

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry appears on the latest issue of People magazine with his shocking personal story revealed. Dumbledore, in a rare interview with the Muggle publication discloses the background of his lifestyle choice. Additional commentary and interviews are provided from others within the Wizarding World, including "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" (Lord Voldemort), Professor McGonnegal, Severus Snape, and Harry Potter himself. Phone calls to The Ministry of Magic for comments were not returned. A spokesperson for W.W.W.A.G. (Witches and Wizards Who Are Gay) denied earlier allegations that Dubledore would be speaking from his portrait at Hogwarts later today with additional comments about this interview.

    It upsets me that they had to out him...I wonder if it's only because of the authors stale attempts to reap more attention for the sales of books that seem to have dwindled..ashame

    Where did you find this magazine by the way? For a moment I thought, Shit, they found Osama and look at what he did to his beard!!

    Always,

    Is this People for real? I need to go down to the grocery store at lunch to confirm.

    That cover is hilarious. If this was a real cover and I was Lance BAss, I'd be furious!

    Ok. I fully acknowledge that I'm a stup when it comes to Harry Potter (I know, I know...sorry) but I'm really glad you put the PS in there.

    I was totally just going to ask you if this was real or not. :)

    Have a great weekend Rick!!!!

    I don't get it. So, he's gay.
    AND?
    Whatever. The books stand on their own, or so I thought.

    I do LOVE the People mag. I would buy 10 copies if it was real!

    I love the "Gandalf Gay Too!"

    I always thought that Draco Malfoy was just waiting to bust down the closet door...

    This was all over the news in England too Rick. I personally think it's good that JK Rowling created and acknowledged a gay character in her books. Children need to know that there are gay people as well as straight people in the world and both should be treated with equal respect.
