I´m just glad it´s not really in the books because I would have a difficult time explaining to my children why Dumbledore is bent over and taking it like a man. JK Rowlin should´ve quit while she was winning.

I think the stupidity lies in the fact that anyone would be considered tainted because of this. I also think it's stupid to think that if it was mentioned in the book doesn't mean there would be a graphic scene about it. Are you going to mention to your kids how Cinderella "is bent over taking it like a" woman?

I'd be more worried about explaining to my hypothetical children why it's okay for Ginny and Dean Thomas to snog their faces off eachother (in HBP) in the school corridors, but that I don't want them doing that at school (would you?) than about having to "explain" something that's not even in the books. Then again, if I had children, I would raise them to accept alternate sexualities as normal relationshipsBrownEyedBoy said:I think JK Rowling was pretty stupid to taint (yeah, I said it) the Harry Potter series with bringing up Dumbledore´s sexuality like that.

Ok. I'm done now ....

I'm all for depth too, but it kinda irks me when the authors add the depth to their books retroactively through interviews and such, instead of dealing with it where it really counts, i.e. their writing.
