Rowling wasnt trying to start anything she was simply answering a question and correcting parts of the new screenplay....granted, I perhaps would have just said "no, he never had a girlfriend or he never fell in love" just to avoid all this crazy stuff getting blown out of proportion, but the question was something along the lines of 'since dumbledore thought that love was the greatest power, did he ever fall in love blah blah blah' and i suppose Rowling thought it was better to just be truthful.

Someone asked her in an interview if Dumbledore ever had a girlfriend, and she just replied that he has not, he was gay. End of story, Thank you. BTW DBlock. There are black characters (Dean, Anglina) I don't know of any Jewish ones, but there are some snogging (kissing) scenes in the later books. They are far from boring. The first few are a little tame and good for kids, the last 3 or 4 are quite dark and very good.

JK Boring hasn't given me a reason to buy one of these books yet. are there any black people in these books? any jews? any steamy romance scenes?
