I think she likes to piss off the christians, plus now she’ll sell even more books. She ROCKS!

As for the teachers living at school… I teach 7th grade and it is very funny to run into one of my students in the mall, they act like I escaped prison and need to be put back immediately.

Alison,
That is exactly what I thought too. It’s a teacher, they aren’t supposed to have private lives. They live AT SCHOOL. Just witness any child’s reaction to seeing their teacher in a grocery store. It’s akin to an alien encounter in the breakfast foods aisle.

He’s an aging high school/jr. high teacher. You’re not supposed to think about his sexuality. Unless things have changed since I was in school, the last thing high school students want to think about is who the gray-haired teachers are doing it with.

Oh, she totally threw that out there to piss off the people who have been pissing her off for years now. LOL.

Personally, I think you COULD infer he’s gay from Book 7, but she never gave details of any of the teacher’s love lifes, aside from Snape. None of the teachers had loves, unless you count Hagrid and his love kinda disappeared, didn’t she?

Jo’s a smart woman. She’s totally poking the bear.

Okay, sorry, I missed the link. But then I went and read what JK Rowling said, and actually that explanation helps a lot with the Grindelwald thing. Makes it more believable. Because Dumbledore was so extremely smart that he would have known what Grindelwald was (a baddy), really. Being smitten & therefore wanting to fool himself about GG makes good sense. So I guess spilling that wasn’t completely random.

WTF? Are you saying that JKR put that in the news? Again I say, WTF? I always figured the Hogwarts professors did not have relationships that we knew about because they had wholeheartedly thrown themselves into magic and were therefore the best witches and wizards and therefore the best qualified to teach the kids. Why on earth would Dumbledore’s sexuality have anything to do with anything in any of the books?

I am not a Harry Potter fan. So I have no idea what you’re talking about. However, I think it’s funny they included a character with that name

I never guessed either, but then again, I can’t figure out why this matters. So, Dumbledore is gay? Eh. Snape an arsebite, but that never made the news (LOL!)

Unfortunately, I think you’re right about the book burnings. *sigh* Gotta love a closed mind…

I never read any of the books or saw any of the movies, but I’ve seen pictures of him.
He seems to have a penchant for hats.
So, I’m soooo not surprised.
(no, that’s right, I didn’t read them, and I didn’t see the movies. Bite my ass I have three REALLY LITTLE KIDS)
