Shocking news as Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed Friday night that one of her main and most beloved characters, Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, is gay. Dumbledore’s outing comes after a Q&A session with Rowling when a young fan asked the author if she ever intended for the headmaster to find true love. Rowling response prompted gasps and applause.

“Dumbledore is gay”

Read on only if you are a HP fan and give a hoot, be warned you will be bored if not a true fan:

Rowling went on to say that Dumbledore was infatuated with his rival Gellert Grindelwald, who real fans will remember was later killed in a battle between the good and bad wizards. Rowling made more comments about ‘falling in love blinding us’ and added that Dumbledore was ‘horribly let down’ and that ‘his love was a great tragedy.’
