While Dumbledore and Grdlewald were gay, this wasn’t actually revealed the books themselv. While terpretatns fandom vary, many people thk that Siri would make sense as a gay character. Many people have poted out that there is a lot of subtext, a mon way to ht at gay relatnships whout makg them non, between their relatnship.
Rowlg said she always "thought of Dumbledore as gay" after the fal book me out. 10 years later, Dumbledore is a character the "Fantastic Beasts" movie fans are at a breakg pot when to the perceived refal of puttg an overtly gay versn of Dumbledore on screen. Director David Yat told Entertament Weekly that "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Fd Them: The Crim of Grlwald" would not make "explicly" clear Dumbledore is gay, the fandom reacted strongly (and mostly negatively).
