By Romeo San Vicente
Dumbledore's Unrequited Crushes
The Harry
Potter books have all been written and published, so the recent and
somewhat bemused comment from author J.K. Rowling that she always
believed Hogwarts' headmaster Albus Dumbledore to be gay can have no
effect on future installments.
But there are still two film adaptations left in the cinematic
version of the boy wizard's saga,
and
that leaves plenty of room for both actor Michael Gambon to re-interpret
the character with plenty of new subtext and for queer fans to speculate
wildly on what those sidelong glances to other actors might really mean.
Of course, neither Gambon nor anyone else related to the projects will
speak about what's coming to theaters near you, but Romeo would like to
officially cast his vote for a little infusion of homo content into the
magical world of Harry.
