Rowling drops the gay bomb
Liz:
I've recently started going through all the books again, to pick up clues about the ending, but now I think I'm going to start looking for little Dumbledore-is-gay signs... I'm kind of excited.
Tehz:
Wingardium leviosa indeed.

Lise:
I was always a much bigger HDM fan than Harry Potter, though I am liking this latest bit of news- Dumbledore just raised in cool factor (or gay factor, I suppose) to Captain Shakespeare in Stardust ("We always knew you were a whoopsie!")
And honestly, I don't know what Rowling would've done to appease fans if the reaction wasn't pleasant. She couldn't have pulled the, "At least I didn't kill the character" card. (Oops... :o).
HAHA, I laughed at Khar's apt description of "gay angels bouncing around." I happen to like Balthamos and Baruch! Even though angels don't have definable genitalia, they DO have names!
And as for his spoiler:
Weitz better keep his damn promises :D.
PS: Tehz. HAHA, I see what you've done.
Ally:
Also, Khar, HDM-wise, I always thought that the series was popular over here, but in a different way. Everyone and their mother read the Harry Potter books, but the kids who read His Dark Materials were the ones who had a deeper interest in reading. There actually was some type of flurry about the books. I remember that a few months after I had read The Golden Compass, I read a newspaper article about how it had seriously angered some religious groups or something. But I was in 4th or 5th grade and I don't think I fully comprehended what I was reading. Anyways, HDM never completely "seduced" the world as did Harry Potter.
Maybe Lise knows what I'm sayin'.
