Famous Author Kills Beloved Characters in Outing Tragedy

...and before she was hustled off the stage, the wild-eyed author was reported to have shouted, "And that's not all! Remus was gay! Tonks was gay! Cedric Diggory was gay! Sirius was gay and Snape was gay and Fred was gay, unless it was George! No, Fred! Fred was gay! And George's ear was gay too! And Dobby was a gay, gay elf! And Hedwig! ( Read more... )

Ahem.

You left out Draco...the gayest of them all...

WHAT! NO!!! ONLY DED WIZARDS ARE GAY!!! DUDE WHAT ARE YOU EVEN THINKING!?!

I like to think that "unrequited" only stood for his first crush. No matter how JKR slices, Dumbles was old when he kicked it. Plenty of room in there for hot Wizard on Wizard lovin'. Especially considering how dapper he was in his prime.

Oh, yeah. I'm not troubled by her "unrequited" comment so much - it's just that the dead gay character thing, which is kind of the Tragic Mulata de notres jours.

djinnj October 20 2007, 04:28:33 UTC

This is true. I find it offset by the fact that it's Dumbledore, and that I felt it was supported by the actual text. Well that and the fact that so many other people died as well. :D

Hmmmm, but in this case the character is the Wise Old Mentor Who Must Eventually Snuff It So That The Hero Must Finally Face The Big Bad Alone, rather than a gay character who died when the plot didn't require it.

We aim to please, ma'am. *points to icon*

Wait - we're supposed to aim?!? We're aiming now?

...

...I must have missed that memo.

Did you read the Newsweek version? I do believe they missed the point initially.

And zomg, I just finished rereading The Order of the Phoenix today so I could finally read book 6 and then make it to the end of the series remembering all that had come before. Will this news improve the story or kill my fantasy fodder?

I'm all O.o that she's bothering to do a press tour. They can't even possibly imagine that she could sell any more books than she already has, can they?

kaiz October 20 2007, 04:32:50 UTC

But there's still tickets to sell for 2 more movies to come. ;-)

Hedwig gay? Noooooo! But she did have a BDSM threesome with Fawkes and Pigwigeon! *snerk*

lolaraincoat October 21 2007, 01:41:59 UTC

Hah! She did not! She was totally not into that interspecies romance! No phoenixes for her!
