    I'm just hoping for JK Rowling to pull another cop-out and tell us Harry is gay, just like she did for Dumbledore. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It's just a lazy collection of innocuous details.
    All he's proven is what everyone already knows: it's not difficult to twist something to mean something completely different.

    And that bit about the M word, seriously?

    Harry Potter is gay? Nah. I would've believed it if Daniel Radcliffe was, though.

    Ok, there were several foreshadowings of Dumbledore being gay in the books:
    -his outrageous colourful robes etc (Yes I know, but sometimes stereotypes work)
    -his childhood "best friend" Gellert Grindlewald (mentioned in Book 7). Both of whom were 'very close' to each other
    -he never mentioned any women in his life

    And I seriously thought Tonks was gay/lesbian. I dunno, I just had a feeling...
    -the hair -trying to be super tough - making the girls at the table laugh all the time..


    Other interesting things to note found at http://www.publishersweekly.com/blog/860000286/post/1350016135.html
    QUOTE:
    For years, within the gay community, there has been two camps about Harry Potter: those complaining that there was no queer representation in the novels, and those who found plenty. In his 2003 piece, "Queering of Harry Potter," gay historian Michael Bronski said, "Rowling has never stated or even implied that the Potter books are gay allegory, but her language and story effortlessly lend themselves to such a reading. ...the language Rowling has the Dursleys use to discuss Harry’s mother and her wizard husband, referring to “her crowd” and to “their kind,” mirrors that often used to invoke homosexuality. Once Harry discovers the nature of his difference, the Dursleys demand complete silence and total concealment.”

    ----------

    The only reference I can think of Harry is...
    -coming out of "the cupboard under the stairs"(book1) or the "bars on his window"(book2) but I'm pretty sure he's straight other than that. Or was written to be that way. Although sometimes the movies make it look otherwise with the actors.

    I came here thinking he had come out. I swear of the three, he is the only one we have never seen any evidnce of him dating anyone.
     
  9. I agree! She would be a badass lesbian.

    SERIOUSLY. I kept rooting for her to have a ladyfriend, but alas. TONKS. COME PLAY FOR THE LADIES' TEAM. (That goes for you, too, Natalia Tena. *Drool*)

    Maybe she was bisexual? ;P I'm gonna pretend she was.

    It's comedy. It's not really supposed to be serious.

    I had a friend who saw equus when they brought it to broadway, and her comment, knowing I wanted a full report, was that he had to have been quite a grower. said he looked like the kinda guy small when flaccid, but big when he pops the weasel
    *her words, not mine.*

    I have heard rumors that he said he wasnt, but he was flattered all the same, but it came from a blog site that didnt list a source.

    Also read one from a drag queen claiming she had frequent dinners with daniel, and that he was really into the culture of cross dressing... but claimed he was in new york during a time he was doing filming for HBP.
     
  16. Actually, though, according to the fanfiction, she's at least bisexual. And what does dumb old JK know anyway? :lol:

    So Harry potter = fairy potter! Lol I don't get why jk said dumbledore was gay. I mean *SPOILER* he's dead now. Does it really matter that he liked to play with other guys wands?

    It makes a lot of sense if you go back and critically read everything.

    Was it necessary for it to take place in the UK?
