J.K. Rowling revealed that the Hogwarts School headmaster Dumbledore was gay after “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the final book in the boy wizard series, was released in 2007.
Fan Ana Kocovic started the exchange by asking the author, “I wonder why you said that Dumbledore is gay because I can’t see him in that way.”
Rowling wrote in her March 24 reply, “Maybe because gay people just look like … people?”
Rowling’s fans loved it.
Rowling’s response has been retweeted more than 7,000 times and favorited more than 10,000 times.
