Rowling drops the gay bomb
imapiratearg:
Is she saying gay people can't love?? I know she mentions the affair, but that's what it sounds like.
Blue Kitty:
who the hell is Hannah Abott?
why does it sound like she just made that name up right on the spot?
Liz:
Hannah Abott was at least mentioned in the first book. She was the first to get sorted and ended up in Hufflepuff, I believe.
Runs_With_Scissors:
She was mentioned a couple times...
I just made a myspace bulletin out of this. I feel so...geeky...all of my friends are hardcore Harry Potter fans. Or they are gay. Either one. Thought it really came as no surprise, someone at Hogwarts had to be gay. It was just a given.

--- End quote ---
Religious fundamentalists of all stripes (you have to remember the Harry Potter books are popular around the world) have already condemned the books and called for them to be banned so I'm not sure what else they can do. Falwell's claims that the Teletubies promoted homosexuality actually resulted in the series getting picked up by more networks because of all the hype he caused.
I guess it's true what they say in Hollywood; any publicity is good publicity. The more the religious groups protest the more publicity they give to the series.
