SO, HOW GAY IS ‘FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE,’ EXACTLY?

Dumbledore beg gay isn't new. I am watchg "The Crim of Grlwald" before I go see the new movie tomorrow and I jt got to the part wh Dumbledore admtg he and Grlwald were closer than brothers, and took me back to when Rowlg admted to Dumbledore beg gay and started to look for the story I origally remembered readg on a lunch break... And nsirg the tle of the film — which refers to some hidn mysteri the past of Hogwarts headmaster and future Harry Potter mentor Alb Dumbledore (Ju Law) — there might be one qutn loomg over this latt “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Fd Them” film: jt how gay is ?

Followg the publitn of the fal “Harry Potter” novel, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ” 2007, Rowlg revealed that Dumbledore was gay and that his prr relatnship wh famed evil wizard Grlwald (now played by Mads Mikkelsen), was ed romantic.

But now, two movi and wh a much more sympathetic Grlwald, they fally n properly explore Dumbledore’s romantic entanglement wh a very mad rultg film is perhaps gayer than you were expectg, but not nearly as gay as should be. ) And that’s about as emotnally naked (and gay) as the movie are a uple more passg referenc to their relatnship sprkled throughout the very long film.

Furthermore, even if Rowlg did tend Dumbledore to be queer om the begng, she did not execute succsful wrg of a gay character. Moreover, Dumbledore as a gay character enforc the harmful trope of queer characters dyg lovels and alone. As a young rear, I never terpreted Dumbledore as gay while readg the seri.

As a reprentatn starved queer person, the fact I never once thought of Dumbledore as gay certaly says a lot about Rowlg’s wrg. If you’re London this week, you’re luck, bee Dumbledore Is So Gay by Robert Holtom is a play so good you won’t need a philosopher’s stone to give you life.
