Oh man, WTF? JK Rowling in NYC yesterday said decided to “out” Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts. Is this necessary? I think not… Who cares if he like "Magic Wands". It wasn’t part of the series. So why , in my opinion, just make that up? She’s just trying to get more attention towards her books. Although in today’s world she might drive some of her fans away.

A leading human rights campaigner today welcomed the revelation from Harry Potter author JK Rowling that Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay.

But Peter Tatchell said the sexuality of the master wizard should have been made explicit in the hit series of children’s books.

Rowling outed Dumbledore, a central character in the books, while speaking to an audience of fans in New York last night.

“Dumbledore is gay,” the author said to a response of gasps and applause.
