Dumbledore Is Gay. Other Secrets Are To Be Revealed?

The whole world is amazed by the last statement by J.K.Rowling about one of the characters from her book being gay, Albus Dumbledore. The news was revealed in New York Carnegie Hall on Friday after the author was asked if Dumbledore who believed in the power of love had ever fallen in love himself. "I always thought of Dumbledore as gay," she replied, explaining that Dumbledore fell in love with his brilliant friend Gellert Grindelwald, who later became a powerful dark wizard whom Dumbledore defeated.

By letting that out, J.K. Rowling made herself once more loved by all those who feared to say out in the open that they are gay. This way, she seems to encourage gay people or the ones who believe that are gay to see this orientation not as a problem for society or themselves and for the ones with whom they have connections with. Gay people should come out of the closet and believe in them and in what they are capable of, because being gay is not making anyone being smarter or dumb, beautiful or ugly, capable or not capable and normal people should accept that as a fact. They should be integrated into society and seen as normal people too and not be judged because of their sexual orientation.

By having a gay character with a positive role in a book for children, J.K.Rowling made her message very clear. She tries to help people who are gay to believe in what they are and to think that above all they are people no matter what sexual orientation they might have. "The Potter books in general are a prolonged argument for tolerance, a prolonged plea for an end to bigotry," Rowling said during the Carnegie event.

J.K. Rowling has seemed to have achieved her finest moment in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, as some fans and critics say. Although the author has tied up all the winding plots that have been strewn throughout the series, she has however left a world of wonders intact and rife for future exploration.

In July, after the release of the last book from Harry Potter Saga, Rowling said she "probably will" publish a Potter encyclopedia, from which fans would find out many more details about their favorite characters, and also more news about what would happen with the wizarding world, she would try to reach some sort of closure. So, are there any other secrets that are to be revealed?
