Description
Well...at some point we'll have to admit that Dumbledore is gay.That fact makes me think of all the chapters in the book, all the things Dumbledore said once and all the things he did. And of all, I think this is the most freaky part.
What is the REAL thing Dumbledore sees in the mirror?
I bet 1000 galleons to Grindelwald. NO, NOT THE SOCKS. I can't trust him anymore.
2 hours on Photoshop.

I want mah cookie!
Nah, really. I...when I heard the news all I could think of was "OOhh damn you attention-whore-rowling!" Because there's really no point in saying Dumbledore was gay like...months later the whole story ended.
Then I remembered some of the scenes, and a friend and I found hilarious the idea that lead to this comic strip.
But, when I read the 7th book for the second time I really almost cried over the Dumbledore/Grindewald scenes..I mean, Harry's life is awful...but Dumbledore's is worse!
Dumbledore is one of my fave characters (right after Sirius Sexy Black), so I meant no hurt with this dev. Really ; ;!

Ha! This is good. My brain is still reeling over Dumbledore's gay-ness. I'll never read his scenes the same way again.

Are woolen socks what they call them nowadays?
π: 0 β©: 0
That's the first thing that popped into my mind too. Except it was probably more along the lines of them doing something naughty. Not appropriate for eleven-year-old ears at all, you know.

I SO wanted to do something like that too...but y'know, it could be rather shocking haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, and I wouldnt be able to see it.... Stupid DA!!!

Well, we have to be at least 1% decent xD

Ah, sweet

haha. i love this. and i cant believe people are making such a big deal of dumbledore being gay.
π: 0 β©: 0
Ahahahaha, great fun!!!
I like that you used an image from the movie for the background, it looks great!
Anyway, Grindelwald looks a lot like a girl in here (and the fact that Dumbledore is covering his chest make it more femalish). That make the comic lose part of the joke
π: 0 β©: 0
Ah hah hah! Brilliant! XD And yeah... it would be cool if he also sees Gellert in the mirror with his family... I think he would have loved for all of them to have got along, whole and happy.
And the socks thing... have you ever read Monsterous Regiment by Terry Pratchett? The word "socks" takes on a WHOLE new euphamistic meaning if you get my drift!

I hate to be a complete nerd about this, but J.K. said, and I quote "I always thought of him as gay." She didn't make him gay, she didn't write him as gay, she just said she THOUGHT of him as gay. I CANNOT bear to see poor Dumbledore slandered like this. No offense to gays or anything.
Besides, we all know she just said that to stir up a controversy. "Hmm, now that the series is over, how can I sell more books?" Put the pieces together, it's not at all difficult.
π: 0 β©: 4
She wasn't going to say this in the first place, but she was asked very specifically what Dumbledores orientation was. Also, I don't see how this could sell more books. Actually, many more people are LEAVING the series now that this news has come out.
JKR "thought" about alot of things that were not canonized. For instance, did you know that crookshanks is half kneazle? Did you know that Hermiones birthday is September 19th? That Molly Weasley's maiden name is Prewett? These are among many small facts that the author had in mind from the beginning, but never disclosed in the books because it wasn't relevant to the story.
And what is wrong with Dumbledore being gay? He is an advocate for tolerance of all people, and this just makes him more so. Dumbledore being gay not only doesn't bother me, but it makes me respect him even more.
When you think of gay, you are probably thinking of the efeminate fruity fashion designer sterotyped homosexual. That's just as ridiculous as claiming that all Japanese people play video games and read manga. Think of Sir Ian Mackellan. He's homosexual, but far from "fruity".
Stop being so closed minded.

Actually, Rowling was asked if Dumbledore ever fell in love. There was no mention of orientation in the question, she CHOSE to say so in what I believe was a publicity stunt.
You're right. There are many things not in the book that Rowling has declared, but they are NEVER canon until they are in the books. This way, these facts are not necessarily true and I can choose to ignore them.
I mostly have a problem with Dumbledore being gay because everyone is excited about it, and they make all these crude and stupid jokes about Dumbledore having secret "relations" with Harry, and so on. This is immature and completely unnesscessary. I realize not all gay people are flamingly effeminate, but I just read the books believing Dumbledore was straight, I am straight, and I want to relate to Dumbledore. There is absolutely no reason why he should be gay.
π: 0 β©: 1
Asking if he ever found love is basically the same thing. She was asked if he found love, and if she had answered "Yes! With Grindlwald!" obviously the question of his orientation would still have been answered.
In my opinion, anything an author considers to be fact about the series is canon. It might have well have been typed into the text of the books.
All of the people that I have spoken to about this aren't making stupid remarks. We are excited about the fact that this is new information about one of our favorite characters. Just because people are idiots is no reason to blame the author.
So, in your opinion, if you were white and JKR had never expressed that Dean was black, and you had pictured him as white throughout the series, then you would have been upset because he wasn't like you? Just because Dumbledore is different from you doesn't mean that you have to like him any less. I'm sure that you aren't, for instance, 150+ years old, or a wizard. These things never bothered you before.
I can think of a reason that he is gay. Like I said before, this establishes him more clearly as a promoter of tolerance. Also, it gives us more of a clear perspective on the pain that he went through while fighting his best friend and one love Grindelwald.

Well, you only half listened to everything I said, but I'm tired of fighting, so let's agree to disagree.
I must say though, you very much twisted my words in your third paragraph. To an almost upsetting level.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I reread what you wrote twice, and I'm sure I addressed everything you said. I just didn't agree.
You said that you were annoyed that people were making idiotic remarks, and i inferred that you blamed the author on this. Unless you are referring to my fourth paragraph, in which I used a pretty appropriate metaphor.
And I didn't mean to call you racist. That was just an example. Hah hah.
Yes. I'm quite tired and I don't feel like arguing any further.

No problem, actually I made this comic to cope with my shock a little bit...even if she is telling that at this point, it doesn't change the story in the end...but I'm afraid it makes your imagination fly xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it's all good. I can appreciate a laugh, I just don't like the people who treat this seriously like Dumbledore is definitely gay, period.

First of all, why would this sell more books? I'll bet fewer books will be sold now.
Second of all, how greedy do you have to be to make shit up for more money when you are already richer than the queen of England?
Nah, it doesn't make any sense that this is a stunt. I believe wholeheartedly that she really has had it in mind all along. The people who are claiming that this is a conspiracy just don't want Dumbledore to be gay.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not a conspiracy. Just one very greedy author.
It will sell more books because previously uninterested gays will buy the series to have something to rally around. It will sell more books because literature enthusiasts and homophobes looking for something to complain about will buy the books looking for clues of homosexuality. And you'd be how surprised how greedy people can be.
Besides, wanting more money doesn't always mean you're greedy. My mom came from a very poor family and even though she lives comfortably now, she is anxious at yard sales because she thinks we aren't selling things for enough money. My dad's prices can sometimes be lower than half of my mom's.

You have a point and opinion, and I respect that. But JKR gives so much to charity! She could have written those handwritten copies of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" to gain money for herself, but instead she wrote them for Charity. XDD and ignore my icon on this matter. I just made it because I was extremely bored looking up and Death Note stuff o.0

I actually think it explains a lot--Dumbledore really neglected his siblings to be with Grindelwald, and that's not the Dumbledore we know . . . but now that we know he was in love, it explains why he did that. And yes, I'm sure it will sell more books, but I'm glad she told us. It takes some of the hate away from Dumbledore that was generated by the last book.

Maybe all Grindelwald is wear ARE a pair of socks, so technically he is telling the truth. XD

JK revealed that he saw his family, Ariana and his parents alive and laughing and joking with Aberforth. Still very good.

I was going to say that. ^.^ But yes, fabulous piece!

OMG I lost 1000 galleons D: !!
Yeah, I knew but still...I just couldn't stop joking about it haha.
